In 2019, Ripa called Seacrest one of her “very best friends” in a sizzle reel for their third season together.
“We have that connection backstage right before the show starts where it’s like, ‘I’ve got a story for you,'” she said in the clip.
“I think it’s great to come on a show that’s already successful — unless you screw it up when you arrive,” Seacrest joked.
“What’s great about this show is that it is very relaxed,” he continued. “It allows us to present a show that is accessible to the audience. We want them to feel like, even if they’ve never met us, they know us.”
