RYAN Seacrest has begun teasing a major career move might be happening in the near future.
This comes just after the Live with Kelly and Ryan host was slammed for “faking” parts of his talk show this week.
Aside from starring on Live with his co-host Kelly Ripa and hosting American Idol, Ryan also works on radio shows and produces movies and television.
Now, he’s apparently looking to add another line to his resume.
The 47-year-old sometimes welcomes chefs onto his talk show for cooking segments, and Ryan often will post his own cooking content on his social media.
On Tuesday, he revealed he’s hoping to turn his Instagram videos into a major career move.
He posted a video of himself whipping up some tacos and shared in the caption: “What better way to celebrate #TacoTuesday than with @snoopdogg’s ‘Tha Soft Touch Tacos’?
“This was so flavorful and simple to make, that it made me realize I don’t make a basic taco enough. Now, what should I make next?”
In the comments, fans started begging him for not only more social media videos but to also have his own cooking show.
Apparently, he’s already one step ahead of his followers.

One commenter said: “Love this and you, Ryan Said it before, you need a foodie show!!”
Ryan admitted he “would love nothing more.”
Then, to another fan who asked about the host getting his own “foodie segment/show,” Ryan teased that everyone should “stay tuned.”
He went on to add a fingers crossed emoji, further teasing that he’s working on something behind the scenes and trying to make having his own cooking show a reality.
Ryan’s teasing about a possible new show comes just as fans have been slamming him and Live co-host Kelly for “faking” parts of their talk show this week.
Kelly was out from the show for two weeks – the week of August 1 and the week of August 8 – but returned during Monday’s episode.
Though she’s back on the show, it’s not in the way viewers had hoped.
While it was claimed that this was a new episode of Live with Kelly and Ripa, it wasn’t in fact live.
For both Monday’s and Tuesday’s episodes this week, as Kelly and Ryan walked out onto the set, the words “previously recorded” could be seen at the bottom of the screen in faint writing.
This let fans know that the show was pre-taped and not actually live, despite the name of the show.
Despite the segments having been recorded on different days, Ryan still told viewers during the opening that it was Monday, August 15 and Tuesday, August 16, respectively.
After waiting a couple of weeks for Kelly’s return to the show after her vacation, fans slammed the hosts for having a pre-recorded episode and for trying pretend that it was live.
One upset viewer asked: “Are all the shows pre-taped until September 6th, I just don’t understand how the description in the guide says it’s a new episode, asking for a friend??”
Another agreed, writing: “I was wondering the same too.”
A third explained: “Easy, they pre-tape the host chats and splice in old segments and then pass them off as new.
“Same with the two episodes this week with Mark [Consuelos] ‘co-hosting.’ They pull this bs every year.”
A fourth blasted: “All I am saying is why pass it off as ‘new’ episodes.
“I realize they do the same thing every summer, but the amount of time off between both Kelly and Ryan is getting to be Howard stern like.”
Others called it “so stupid” that the hosts “pretend it’s live” by saying today’s actual date, instead of the date they recorded it or flat-out telling viewers why the episode is pre-recorded.
