On Air with Ryan Seacrest 2010-03-01

Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy is celebrating his 1 year anniversary doing late nights at NBC. Ryan talked to him about the Olympics, Jay Leno and making fun of Robert Pattinson.

Elliott Yamin

Elliot was in Chile when the earthquake struck last weekend so Ryan asked him about his experience and how things are there now. Fascinating interview. It’s scary enough seeing what has happened to people on the news, and knowing that natural disasters can happen anywhere without any notice, but hearing someone who was there talk about it adds the context that makes it feel less like ‘something that happens to other people’.

Ryan asked Lindsey about the things she’d missed out on while focussing her life on training, working with her husband, claims that she’s favoured within the team, and whether she has an inner voice telling her how she’s doing while on a run. Ryan also told us that no two medals are alike … and no two water crystals are alike either (he’s just started reading ‘The Hidden Messages in Water’)

Shanna Marsh

Shanna is the mother of Layla Grace, a 2-year-old with stage four neuroblastoma. Ryan asked how she is right now and how long she has left, and Shanna talked about neuroblastoma, including identifying the symptoms, and connecting with people via social networking.

“You can’t break down and cry all day because somebody has to take care of the sick baby.”

Such a difficult interview to listen to.

Glee

Ryan had a Glee exclusive on today’s show: the TV cast is going on tour

Spring on its way

Ryan sounded waaaay too chipper for 6am on a Monday morning, but it seems there was a reason …

Ryan’s science project

Someone gifted Ryan a book about the hidden messages in water. The messages he seems to be getting though are ‘pee’ and ‘read your Oscar notes’.

Providing happiness

Ryan knows the secret to a happy workforce…
