EXCLUSIVE: American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is taking on a new role for Fox — a matchmaker. I’ve learned that the network has quietly greenlighted Dream Date, a dating competition series from Ryan Seacrest Prods. Details about the top–secret project — now shooting on location — are scarce, but I hear it revolves around a group of women looking for love and features a celebrity element. There is no airdate yet but a late fall/midseason bow is a possibility. While Seacrest is best known for his stint on a reality competition series, Fox’s Idol, the new show marks a rare competition series for Ryan Seacrest Prods. which has built its unscripted brand on docu-reality series like the Keeping Up With The Kardashians franchise and Shahs Of Sunset. On screen, Seacrest next is hosting NBC’s live competition series Million Second Quiz.





Didn’t he also play a part in Mommas Boys, the short lived dating series on NBC?
terrific- tv needs more crap-ID THE NETWORKSLEARN ANYTHING FROM THE EMMY NOMS??????????
Wasn’t a show similar to this that failed miserably called Ready for Love on NBC? This new Dweebcrest show is going to meet the same fate as that one did, cancellation and real quick at that.
When is enough enough with these types of shows already?!
… Her?
Seacrest has had a lot of success, clearly, but is he shallow or what? You’d think that between reality and dating shows, he’d take a shot at producing something a little more substantial.
I wonder if this will be as humiliating as the bachelor/bachelorette? On a side note,I’m glad Ryan continues branching out.Lord knows(tongue firmly in cheek) he suffers from such under-exposure.The guy needs all the publicity/exposure he can get.Seriously though,what a media whore this guy is.
“a group of women looking for love” or as the rest of us would call them: “a group of attractive women with low self-esteem, who think being on TV for 5 minutes and exploited by a reality show somehow makes their lives worthwhile”.
Will he ever produce anything of quality? That buzzing sound you hear is his mentor Merv Griffin spinning in his grave.
Some “heir” to Dick Clark with the friggin TRASH he puts out there.
Seacrest needs to be taken down a few pegs, actually a LOT of pegs.
Bring back More to Love instead….
Everything that is wrong with reality TV today, especially on a broadcast network. What is this, the 20th dating competition show, and the 19th that will fail?
Do they ever learn anything?
Where’s the imagination?
I’m sure he’s making a shitload of money but all these various shows (television and radio) have just made him overexposed to the point he’s become nothing short of repulsive. He’s no better than Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton in that regard. Another plastic overexposed no-talent who feels obliged to ram their face down everyone’s throats 24/7. Just for inflicting the Kardashian family onto the populace is more than enough of a reason for him to go into hiding and hang his head in shame.
Keep going, doing, creating, hosting and succeeding Ryan, while the ambition-challenged harp on blog sites with their crooked fingers and fixed sneers.
Dude, other than being male, I’m sure you’re not his type. You can stop trying to suck up to him on a blog site yourself.
I can’t speak for others but it’s not a “Ryan” thing. The public is worn out on dating shows. I just don’t think you can create a dating show right now that anyone will like. Been there and done that.
Judging by the comment above by “burrrbank,” it’s clear that Seacrest reads Deadline.con.
The bleached monkey is a snake.
Reality TV needs to die. What a wasteland it has Turned TV into. The success of it continue to prove we are a nation of Fuctards with no lives, that live through the escapades of watching whores like the Kardashians, to contrived marriage proposals on the bachelor and its fair share of whores, watching lesson in fat redneck child abuse on Honey Boo Boo (no doubt this kid will be a worse mess than Britney and Lohan Combined) … Yes if TV is a reflection of our society, we are all fcked, and of course we have another dating show… that’s creative, LMFAO. Network Executives, What a bunch of Lazy accountants.. The only thing they know how to do that is creative is hide their money and their networks money in Offshore bank accounts.. I can only imagine the pitch session. “””Hey I got a dating show like the bachelor, and we are going to have a bunch of guys and girls on it like the bachelor, and get this they are going to pitch each other like shark tank, and then, this is so great, they will step into a room like a boardroom, like on Apprentice and they this guy will decide if they’re dating pitch was good enough for the date, if not they get kicked off the show, Just like Trump does, I mean its so original”””
I still don”t get his appeal?
He appeals to the lowest common denominator in television viewership.
With all these shows running, how does Ryan find the time to attend to his love affair with himself?
Hmmm, another Seacrest production? No, I’d rather sit in a room watching a ceiling fan then watch it. I hold Seacrest totally responsible for unleashing the unholy hell known as Kardashians on the world. Here’s a thought for a new show, have Seacrest date a 300 pound tiger, and let the tiger snack on him–I’d watch that……. repeatedly.
