Ryan Seacrest
Seacrest is set to take over as host after Sajak retires from the game show after more than 40 years.
The game show's longtime letter-revealer had reportedly threatened to quit in a dispute over pay disparity.
"Apparently, Ryan Seacrest is mandated to host everything," one Twitter user sagely noted.
Sajak announced the end of his four-decade hosting run earlier this month.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Consuelos met his wife (and newly minted co-host) Kelly Ripa on the soap opera 28 years ago.
The two shared a lengthy hug before Seacrest delivered some heartfelt remarks of his own.
"Youre a true friend. Youre a brother. Youre generous to my wife, to my whole family," Consuelos told Seacrest ahead of his departure from the show.
This is something that you and I have been talking about for a long time, and it was a tough, tough decision," Seacrest said to co-host Kelly Ripa.
Not true, Ripa quickly retorted after Seacrest claimed Cohen snubbed him while they were filming opposing New Year's Eve specials.
The entertainer returned to "Idol" as a fill-in judge for the live show and quickly caused a stir.
