Earlier this morning media mogul Ryan Seacrest appeared on the the “Today Show” to make a special announcement. Most speculation was that Seacrest would be joining the show as an entertainment correspondent, other is that he will be joining the NBC Olympics team to broadcast from London this summer. Here’s a bit more speculation, with details after the tweets:
i'd like to congratulate @RyanSeacrest on his plan for world domination. Great guy who must not sleep! #SeacrestTODAY

Seacrest has confirmed that he will be joining the NBC family beginning this summer as a correspondent for the Olympics in London. After Matt Lauer asked him about a future on the “Today Show,” he skirted around the question, ultimately not giving a straightforward answer, but saying his start with the NBC family will be in the Olympics as a host.

Ryan Seacrest could play #MattLauer in the @todayshow movie, but he couldn't replace him in real life #SeacrestToday

Matt should NEVER go any where, but, if he does, @RyanSeacrest is the ONLY acceptable replacement. #SeacrestTODAY

As for American Idol, Seacrest says, “I plan to stay there. I think I will make an official announcement very, very soon.”
So tired. I want to be on whatever Seacrest is taking.
