Fortune CEO Alan Murray sits down with the new host of Wheel Of Fortune and host of American Idol for over 21 years, Ryan Seacrest, to discuss his recent venture with Seacrest Studios.
Through Children's National Hospital, Seacrest Studios is part of the Ryan Seacrest Foundation and gives kids an interactive space to explore radio, television and social media share their on-air talents and participate in entertaining programs that are broadcast directly to patient rooms. They provide fun games, arts and crafts and other creative outlets that contribute to the healing process for children and families dealing with illness. Celebrities such as Ed Sheehan, Russell Wilson and Taylor Swift have stopped by to cheer up the kids and even put on performances for them.
Ryan also discusses how he is able to balance topics to his audience and toe the line between broad appeal and programming while on the air. He feels that he wants people of all ages to feel welcome and included when discussing topics or having conversations with other celebrities and guests on his radio show with KIIS-FM. Alan asks Ryan a bit about his routine before asking him a question that everyone is wondering: Is he planning to keep Vanna White on Wheel Of Fortune when he becomes the new host next year?
