Ryan adds nothing to show.” Actually, not everyone agrees with that. One of them noted,” @ryanseacrest is missed every time he’s not on with Kelly Ripa. Glad you’re being cautious though that’s awesome.”

Kelly also got her share of trolling. One person wrote rather unkindly, “So glad you’re okay ryan, Kelly can only wink and make that clucking sound so many times by herself…!!!”  Overall though, most people just expressed their relief that Ryan Seacrest never fell sick with COVID-19.
