Ryan Seacrest Jokes About Former Idol Co-Host

Does anyone wonder what ever happened to American Idol co-host Brian Dunkleman? Current host with a million jobs, Ryan Seacrest, took it upon himself to bring this to light when he joked about his former co-worker on this past week’s episode.

Ryan joked that Dunkleman would appear in next week’s Idol Gives Back special; the audience applauded, failing to sense that Seacrest was joking. Dunkleman didn’t find anything funny about Seacrest’s remark:

“Yeah, I think so, sure—but it was a joke. Well, it was an attempt at a joke. But unfortunately for Ryan, instead of a laugh, he got applause. That’s never really been his strong suit. But it was a joke, and whether it was mean-spirited or not is irrelevant. A joke’s a joke; you can either take it or you can’t.”

No worries from Dunkleman, though—he almost seems numb to the jokes by now:

Ricky Gervais Toasts the Golden Globes

Ricky Gervais, the host of this weekend’s Golden Globes, doubts he’ll be asked back again. Therefore, he’ll enjoy the experience while he can.

“I’m going to be drunk. Everyone else is. They’re not going to invite me back, so I might as well have fun,” Gervais claimed. “They can’t censor me, it’s live. That’s the beauty of it. When they first offered me the job, I said, ‘I’m not going to rehearse. Can I say what I want?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ They haven’t seen the script, my ideas, so they can’t censor me. I suppose they could stop the show and replace me.”

Despite the lack of planned jokes, the comedian reveals he will be picking on tSteve Carell (again). “Oh yeah, he’s definitely in for it. Obviously, that’s a staple,” Ricky told Access Hollywood. “Anyone who isn’t concentrating will get it, so they better listen, they better not talk. They can talk when everyone else is on, but they better not talk when I’m on, because then they get my attention and then they’re in trouble.”
