Pink interview
Seacrest interviews Pink during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about the release of her album The Truth About Love.
It’s just been awesome. It’s been super fun. I didn’t know what was going to happen when I went in the studio and I couldn’t have asked for a more positive, more loving atmosphere to release an album into. And I’ve had fun performing and being with my baby, and my man. It’s just been really good right now. I’ve never had a such warm reception. I was talking to Carey (Hart) about it the day before and he was like, “Baby, it’s awesome it only took you 12 years to get people to like you.” I’m like, “That’s true. And you know what, baby? It only took me 9 years to get you to like me.” So, it’s all worked out, I guess.

Jacob Artist interview
Seacrest interviews Jacob Artist during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about dancing on Glee.
I had been dancing for forever, I still love dancing. It got a little stale towards the end and acting was kind of this brand new intriguing thing that I really wanted to try. Plus I feel like if I would have gone to Juilliard I would have been thinking what whould have been the outcome.
Michael Strahan interview
Seacrest interviews Strahan during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about working with Kelly Ripa on Live! with Kelly and Michael.
It was over a year ago when I went on to co-host. I had met Kelly a long time ago, years ago. But being on the show was the first time I really got to interact with her. Instantly, she is so easy to get along with for everybody. She had 59 total guest hosts come on that show over the last nine months, which is hard to change up and really guide 59 people through the show. She had a connection with everybody. Fortunate for me ours seemed to come through.
Blake Lively interview
Seacrest interviews Lively during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and about her secret to happiness.

Britney Spears interview
Seacrest interviews Spears during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks her if it will be hard to say no to contestants of American Idol.
There were the ones that would come on and they really thought that they had it. You could see it in their eyes how believable they were about it. It’s just really hard and it would break your heart to tell them no.
Lights performance
Goulding performs Lights during On Air With Ryan Seacrest to promote her album Halcyon.
When we released it in the UK, which was a while ago it was the 6th or 7th single from my album. So, it was kind of at the point where I was ready to write a new album anyway. So, I didn’t put much into it, then all of a sudden it was like ‘Lights’ is on the radio a lot in the US and that was it, it started it rolling.
Ellie Goulding interview
Seacrest interviews Goulding during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her album Halcyon.
Even in rehearsals I felt myself welling up a little bit, not that my last album didn’t. But these songs in particular are really emotional and they mean a lot to me, they’re about very personal things. It’s a good thing though, I think. If it provokes that kind of emotion in me, then hopefully that will be the same on the people.
Simon Cowell interview
Seacrest interviews Cowell during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about the new American Idol judges.
They [the judges] are really good. You’re going to see a different side of Britney, I didn’t know much about her before we did the show but she’s really good and she’s mean! She says no to everyone. She’s quite hard to please. She kind of freaked out, like all of these girls do the first day,” Simon said. “She got nervous, but I spoke to her and she was fine.
Rob Thomas interview
Seacrest interviews Thomas during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his possible collaboration with Celo Green.
There was a song that I wrote for Cee-Lo and it turns out it never got to him, he had never heard it. Then when he finally did, he fell in love with it. So, we had talked about if I ever do something solo, maybe doing that song with him coming on and singing it with me.
Bobbi Brown interview
Seacrest interviews Brown during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about choosing Katie Holmes to work with for her cosmetic line.

PSY interview

Debby Ryan interview

At the end of the day, I haven’t really had a mentor and I’m okay with it. I have my mom and I have a great team of people around me. They tell me what’s cool and what’s not cool sometimes I listen and sometimes I don’t.
NeNe Leakes interview
Seacrest interviews Leakes during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and about her role in The New Normal.
I play a character called Rocky, she’s one of the gays guys secretary. She’s outspoken, she uses her boss’s credit card without his knowledge, she’s funny, she’s lovable, and I think all the viewers are going to love me in the end. I’m having a great time. I’m so proud of the cast of ‘The New Normal,’ we have great people over there. We have Ellen Barkin, Justin Bartha, and Andrew Rannells. It’s going to be a really great show.
Kevin Hart interview
Seacrest interviews Hart during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and about why he didn’t rehearse for his VMA performance.
For me, not long at all. Because I do what I want. They say, ‘Kevin stand here.’ I say, ‘No, I’m going to stand there.’ And they say, ‘Okay.’ Because I’m a big deal.
Steve Harvey interview
Seacrest interviews Harvey during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and about his inspirations for his book.
My daughters were bringing home these deadbeat boys and I was meeting these guys and in 30 minutes I was shooting them down. My daughters were going, ‘dad, why did you ask him that?’ I said, ‘because you should have asked him that, you have every right to know this type of stuff.’ So, they kept going, ‘Well dad, how do you know all this?’ I said, ‘Look, I’ve been a boy, I’ve been a young man, I’ve been a man, I’ve been all this. So, if you’re sitting in my house and you’re 26…I already know what you’re thinking and where you should be and I’m not going to let some little loser, bum, kid, boy, walk out of here with my daughter. I ain’t going to let it happen.
Rob Thomas interview
Seacrest interviews Thomas during On Air With Ryan Seacrst about who he wants his band to collaborate with.
It seems like that has come up a lot in conversation with us. I know Snoop Dogg came up a couple times on this record bringing in a rapper to do a verse, just because we’ve never done it. So, aesthetically that might be interesting.
Melissa Gorga interview
Seacrest interviews Gorga during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her single I Just Wanna.
I’m really excited about this one. I love it, it’s my absolute favorite. I think I have a hit here. There’s a male vocal that comes in on it I’ve been looking for an opportunity to do something where a male vocal would come in. His name is Santino Noir, he’s amazing, I think the world’s going to love him. It’s a great song, I’m so excited about this one. I just shot an amazing video for it that’s going to be released next week. So, I’m just excited about the whole thing.
