His rep explains Ryan is doing American Idol, Live with Kelly and Ryan and On Air With Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest is also involved with the Disney Family Singalong specials, as well as three or four on-air jobs during the last few weeks. He is seriously in need of rest, so that particular day, he took the day off.

Seacrest returned to Live with Kelly and Ryan the following day. He gave a message of gratitude to fans, as well as his good friend Mark Consuelos. Mark had filled in for Ryan while he was catching up with his rest.

Ryan joked about Ripa’s husband, saying “He’s so good at it!” He went on to thank everyone for their “very kind well-wishes” for his exhaustion from working around the clock.

Having heard of his heavy workload, no doubt fans can understand how exhausting it has all been for Ryan!
