Seacrest gets series
It's all over for the American idols but not for host Ryan Seacrest, who will have his own daily live syndicated program in January.
Twentieth Television announced it is green-lighting a show that's part newsmagazine and part variety. When the series premieres, it will air during the "fringe" time slots, between 4 and 7 p.m., on 22 Fox-owned stations.
