Ryan Seacrest will continue to show up everywhere as he’s just signed a huge groundbreaking agreement with NBC. The new two-year deal includes broadcasting, on-air, and producing duties with NBC and E! networks.
 
“Ryan is an extraordinary talent who has been an important part of the Comcast family for a long time,” stated Steve Burke, CEO of NBCUniversal. “We look forward to his continued role on E! and to having him appear on many new places across NBCUniversal, including the TODAY show and at the Olympics. This is a great example of how NBCUniversal is able to provide the perfect home for some of the best people in the business.”
