Ryan Seacrest had fans concerned about his health over the weekend. While hosting the season finale of "American Idol," the Emmy-winner seemed to slur his words and have a hard time opening his eye which had people wondering if Seacrest had a mild stroke.
He then was absent from Monday's taping of "Live with Kelly and Ryan," so Ripa's husband Mark Consuelos filled in. His rep shut down speculation on Monday that something was wrong and Seacrest broke his silence on Tuesday when he returned to hosting "Live" "I want to thank Mark for filling in yesterday.
I appreciate that," Seacrest said on air. "He's so good at it. And also the very kind well wishes for my exhaustion. Working round-the-clock so I got a day off to relax.
