Last year, it was revealed that Ryan, 49, would be taking over as host of the popular game show following Pat Sajak’s retirement.
Pat, 77, will be seen in his final episode on Friday, June 7 after leading the show for nearly four decades.
As American Idol recently wrapped up its latest season, with Abi Carter as its winner, Ryan has been resharing some memorable moments.
On Wednesday, the podcast host shared an upload from Idol’s official account onto his Instagram Stories, which labeled him as the “best host.”

The Story showed three photos of Ryan with recent Idol contestants onstage.
“Thanks to the best host @ryanseacrest for another year of love & laughs!!” the post had written.
Ryan added to the sentiment, “Such an incredible season.”
A BETTER FIT?
It comes just days after some Wheel of Fortune fans criticized him as a “bad fit” for the game show.

Ryan was the topic of conversation in Pat’s recent Instagram video, which showed him sitting down with his daughter, Maggie Sajak.
The two discussed Pat’s legacy and how he ended up securing his WoF gig in the first place.
In the comments, fans praised the longtime host and noted who they would’ve rather seen take over the reins.
Many people said they wanted Maggie, 29, to step into her dad’s shoes, as she is already the show’s social correspondent.
“Maggie should be host!! Idk who thought Seacrest was a good fit,” one person wrote.
“You are so loved, I think Maggie and Vanna should run the show. That would be awesome,” a second wrote.
