Ryan Seacrest Messes Up The Top Female Dog List

The Live hosts are adored by their fans for their on-air banter and Kelly Ripa is often seen snubbing her co-host on-air. However, this time around, Ryan didn’t stay silent.

However, Kelly Ripa quickly jumped in to correct her co-host and said that Rosie was actually at the bottom of the list. The pair then started to argue back and forth about whether or not Ryan was reading out the list in the right order. In a frustrated tone, the American Idol host complained, “I do the American top 40 countdown.”

While he and Kelly will do the morning-after edition of Live from Dolby Theater stage for the first time in two years, Ryan has an extra role the same night.
