Ryan Seacrest misses first American Idol episode in 17 seasons due to illness

Ryan Seacrest called in sick for ‘American Idol’ for the first time ever.
The 44-year-old star had to miss filming for Monday’s (08.04.19) episode due to illness, and it marks the first time he has been absent on a production day across all 17 seasons with Bobby Bones stepping in for the regular presenter.
He joked: "I am not Ryan Seacrest; I am Bobby Bones. Sadly, Ryan is sick, and I look most like him so they asked me to fill his shoes tonight. Ryan, love you, buddy. Hope you get better."
Judge Katy Perry joked that the absence proves Ryan – who has never missed an episode in the history of the show – is actually a real person rather than a robot.
Alongside a shocked face and robot emoji, she tweeted: "Proof that @ryanseacrest is human after all.
"And it only took 17 years for you to use your sick day, not bad #AmericanIdol #getbettersoonryan"
Her co-star Lionel Richie also commented on social media, and described him as the "hardest working guy" in the industry.
He wrote: "Wow, @ryanseacrest missing an @AmericanIdol show day is crazy! Hardest working guy in the business! #AmericanIdol #IdolDuets"
And fellow judge Luke Bryan weighed in too, and revealed Ryan was "feeling better" after missing filming several weeks ago.
He added: "We missed you for this one! Really thought you might be a robot but glad you’re feeling better. Haha!"
Ryan – who was live tweeting as he tuned in for the episode – replied: "Just needed a quick maintenance check. I should be good for next week brotha"
In a video statement to viewers, he quipped: "Good evening, and welcome to ‘American Idol’. Tonight is a unique show for me, because it’s the first time in 17 seasons that I have missed the show
"Fact is, I woke up and was having a terrible hair day. I just couldn’t go out in public. No, I really had to cash in on my very first sick day, but my friend and mentor Bobby Bones was kind enough to to fill in."
