American Idols talk about Ryan on LKL
This season’s American Idols appeared on Larry King Live yesterday. Larry played the clip of Ryan facing down Simon Cowell to get some useful feedback for Michael Lynche. He asked Michael about his reaction, then asked Lee if Ryan is the glue that holds everything together.
KING: Mike, frankly, how much of that was play?
LYNCHE: I — I — I was in shock of it. I was like is this really going on the first night on the big stage, you know? But Ryan genuinely cares for us and loves on us. I don’t think he wants anybody to talk bad about us or say anything that’s not — he knows how hard we’re working. Ryan is the best.
KING: Lee, is he the glue?
DEWYZE: To the show? He has a lot to do with the success of the show. Because what he does is he brings everything to the show. He brings humor. He brings, you know, the level of suspense that we all get. He’s been doing it for so long. He is a pro at it. To replace him would be impossible. I mean, he knows what he’s doing.
