  • should he be rich? ....hmmm should queen latifah be a porn star??

  • God dammit, I accidently clicked on a fagturks video again. I HATE YOU GUYS!

  • jealous much? 

  • Wealthy job producers like Ryan Seacrest need a tax cut!!! That will surely stimulate the economy.

  • The people who eat up 'The Kardashians' are retards who want nothing but vanilla shit, I have to question those retards for making Ryan Seacrest, and The Kardashians successful!

  • Agree!!!! I hve to go to medical school and study at college for 10 yrs+ to barely make 100k while this bastard is masturbating on gay porn and makes 60 million?? bullshit!!!!

  • @ilovemeyoulovemetoo You said it, The faggots rule the earth, and we have to suffer for it!

  • @PearceCTV  lol sellout..

  • It's too bad you guys aren't worth as much as he.

  • cenk should be making that kind of money. he's funny as hell

  • It was 144 not 134 you stupid bitch.

    Fire Ana she's too fucking dumb.

  • This motherfucker should be curing death for that kind of money. Lol

  • this midget gets 60 million....this fucking country.

  • I personally think no one deserves to be extremely rich, like these hundreds of millions of dollars, even tens of millions of dollars is pushing it for most. Now I'm not saying everyone should make the same wage, lots of people deserve more money than others, but everyone deserves a wage they can live on. (Keeping up with Kardashians and Jersey Shore deserve nothing, in fact they should be paying people for making them ignorant lolz)

  • i hate the idea of celebrity, hate

  • Oh I can't wait for all the jobs Ryan Seacrest is going to make with his tax cuts!

  • That tiny bastard needs 4 hours of airtime?

  • Ryan Seacrest puts the douche into douchebag

  • @SonDimz actually he puts the douchebag in douchebag....

  • Who is Ryan Seacrest again? Wasn't he the original American Idol contestant? Is this guy getting paid to be famous? Because I honestly don't know who the hell this guy is.

  • remember he had a cohost the first season of american idol? he bitched until they got rid of that guy... if you're that guy how PISSED are you?

    LMAO i would probably kill him

  • IT'S THE MARKETING, STUPID.

  • I have an interesting anecdotal: Remember the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers? They were paid something like $200 a week.... and they sucked it up like everyone else.

    One of the problems with TV is there was inherently low competition. Physics dictates you can only really have about 6 broadcast channels so the broadcasters always knew no new players can enter and undercut them on cost. Then comes the efficiently of oligopoly.

    Youtube and the internet in General is killing this though now.

  • what the fuck...im a hard worker as well and i dont make $60 million dollars a year. Ryan seacrest is a gay fag who sleeps with the right men to be able to get the right amount of money. Ryan seacrest paid his bitch to be with him. Good thing im moving to London soon ...so i dont have to worry about republicans nor democrats nor fucken hollyweird!. Ryan seacrest is a boring fag by the way!

  • 1:30 Did Cenk belch?

  • well He stays in shape, people find him interesting...i guess he deserves it i dont find him interesting but whatever how much we tax the rich is a real gray area with me if i were rich i would want to enjoy my money if i earned it idk its just odd...

  • @Tony007corp ye you would but you would also have to understand that because your now rich don't expect to be taxed the same as a guy who is earning atleast 100,000 less than you, naturally your taxes would have to go up, to support the economy, but what we have instead is those who aren't earning the most are being taxed more than those who earn a lot which can't be fair

  • Who is he again?

  • Ryan Casem? Casey Seacrest? What was his name again?

  • I didn't know he was still a celebrity until you two hated on his success in this video.

  • for 60 million a year, I'd be a whore, too.

  • I heard the name before, but didn't even know who he was or what he did. This is worthy of 60M??

  • I don't get that Vainilla thing.

  • @DrQuijano plain.

  • i make less than $1000 a month

  • @cannabisbisbisbisbis I make less than $300 a month.

  • @dustinjt yeah but you're probably like a student or something like that

  • @cannabisbisbisbisbis Yeah, this is true. Though, I still have bills and the unfortunate side effect of life--hunger.

  • How does someone even SPEND that much money??

    It's also a bit sad that I will only make a FRACTION of what he makes per year in my entire life... doing honest work.

  • i hate it when people say i can do his job! well you can't and that is why he is getting payed the big bucks

  • @oneworld24 Are you for real? What's his job? 'Our next singer is.............' Yeah bro you're right I could never do that.

  • @FenderTelecast yeah but you could walk around all day saying the next singer is and no one will pay you a dime! but he gets paid 60M. it is always easy to look at people who are bringing in the big bucks and say what does he do i can do the same well then get up and do it! who is stopping you? this has nothing to do with how much taxes he should be paying i am just saying that for a plain guy with no talent he has made well for himself then there must be something that he has that others don't

  • @oneworld24 No, but there a 1000 other carbon copies of him waiting around in cafes and the right night clubs hoping to get spotted can. - Just like he no doubt was.

    In fact when he starts to cost too much they will simply employ one of them. Just like he was employed instead of someone like ?Aston Kutcher? etc etc...

    Not to worry, TV is now finally getting real competition that will stem this pay glut . Look at TYT, =3 they reach more viewers for fractions of what it takes TV stations.

  • its frustrating because i can do his job.....and many others.

  • Just wait until Seacrest comes out of the closet and then find out how much $ he makes

  • Look I'm all for Capitalism and making as much as you can make.. so on so forth. But $60 Million a year, seriously?

    I know it's not his fault there are millions of Americans homeless every night, and sure he probabaly donates more to charity than I make in a year. But what the fuck can you possibly do with $60 million a year that you couldn't do with.. 10?

  • You jealous, Cenk?

  • I can smile, I have a smarmy voice. $60,000,000 please.

  • LOL Ryan Seacrest sells himself.

  • Brian Dunkleman must be suicidal right now.

  • @hothotheat3000 NO DOUBT!!

  • He has the backstreet boy look and its what all these brands and shows want to promote their stuff.

  • Ryan Seacrest is only famous because he's the moron who hosts an overrated televised karaoke singing show that has helped contribute to the death of real creativity in the music industry will probably be off the air within the next two years or so because without Simon Crowel American Idol is nothing more than a glorified high school talent show.

    He's well payed for doing nothing of any importance other than saying prewritten BS on TV and giving softball interviews to celebrities on the radio.

  • Another irrelevant and useless video by TYT.

  • /facepalm

    Only in America... nothing else to say really.

  • Are these the same companies that are going to create JOBS with their profits ?! HAHAHAH ...SUUUURE they will -_-

  • Republicans want to CUT this guys taxes.....great job voters.

  • @ThaGenius101

    He'll create new jobs. He'll produce more reality shows for celebrities, and let's face it, actors and musicians you hear on the radio need money.

    Joking aside, that's really pretty much how our economy is working with trickle-down (Upward Fascist Economics is a fair name, too). Instances like this or the Clinton Wedding... Rich people dealing only with other rich people. It never circulates properly like this.

  • @ThaGenius101 LMAO THANK YOU!!!!

  • I never even see this motherfucker! how does he make that much? does he even DO anything

  • vanilla is some what good, it doesnt alienate the rocky roads and the crazy nutties

  • Bring back the >90% top marginal rate.

    Amazing to think that if a normal person could work at his pay rate for just a few weeks, they would probably never have to work again.

  • There's seriously nothing special, important, or likable about Ryan Seacrest. He brings nothing to the table. Working hard? Hard at what? Mediocrity? He uses his name, which is now famous, and that's all there is to it.

  • @dEdGrimley

    And once American Idol is dead and gone he'll be nothing more than fourth rate radio host and a trivial pursuit '00's edition answer.

  • @Metalmeltdown1000

    Ya know, I'm not that optimistic about that. I think he'll still get the Dick Clark gig, he'll still have the little thises and thatses... Still probably make a good 40m.

    I'd just hate to be the guy that dates him.

  • @dEdGrimley

    Only in America can someone as undeserving as Ryan Seacrest get as famous as he is for doing nothing of any real value.

    American Idol is a pop culture fad that will die out eventually and when it does Ryan Seacrest will only be remembered for it and nothing else he's ever done.

  • Thats not bad. Guess he is well known now.

  • He does have 94 jobs

  • Ryan Seacrest is gay... :-\

  • @UnhappyDreamer stop hating on him because hes canadian. fuck, all americans are jealous of canadian celebrities. they just hate on all of them. people are hating on justin bieber, drake and now ryan seacrest cause they are canadian. go canada! al canadians celebs deserve repsect.

  • @TheAce1082 HA!

    I like your spirit, but bring it down a notch canadian guy, jeez.

    You should probably put a capitol 'c' on canada too.

    Just a heads up.

  • whos ryan secrest? His name rings a bell but i cnat remember from where he is

  • Proof of your SLAVERY peasants hope you worked hard today!

    "WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!"

  • @TommyTurntables1 I worked hard today but as i drove home in my Porsche i thought it was worth it....

    What did you do loser?

  • @TheKaos007 My Dad owns a Porsche dealership i was the only one in my high school with a Boxer S :-p

  • @TommyTurntables1 You are still a loser even if you drive daddie's cars

  • Damn, when does Ryan have time for himself?

  • For a moment i thought they said jerk threads FTW lol

  • He definitely deserves that money more than Ke$ha deserves hers. He works hard. I like him on Z100 too.

  • Vanilla... My favorite ice cream flavor. >>

  • Americans average $47,000 per year, and they got it from pillage and plundering other countries and used slave labour from Africans. So all the Whitey Americans descendents definitely don't deserve to be rich :)

  • Ana, Cenk I have one thing to say to you: haters gonna hate

  • Should Cenk have a TV show?

  • @TheKaos007 hahaha 

  • Oh this is terrible, as a TYT subscriber

    this is utterly terrible, Ana comes across bitter,

    Cenk comes across pushing Seacrest down, unfortunately

    this is what the right wing uses for its platform,

    that the left do not want anybody to earn more money socialism

    like the headtitle should Ryan be rich,

    Ryan is one of the nicest guys i ever met, and he is extremely talented

    in entertainment, business, and he deserved it.

    cause thats what people watch right more customers more money.

  • Let's be clear, Ann's guess of $134 million was not "way off" as Cenk laughed – it was well within a factor of three of the actual amount ($64 million). Better than, say, a (reasonable?) guess of $20 million, which is more than a factor of 3.

  • yea give celebrities millions who do little to nothing to earn it while the the working to lower class gets rape, america is going in the toilet while self righteous celebrities are commended and exalted for NOTHING!

  • why do people give this guy (seacrest)money? he isn't entertaining and he is obnoxious....

  • bad choice of anna to use those last couple words

  • ryan seacrest should be rocketed into the sun....

  • Why shouldn't Ryan Seacrest be rich? He works his ass off. If Sanjay is still part of the American lexicon, Ryan deserves every penny. The American marketing body that manufactures celebrities. Why can't he get a piece of all that pie?

  • The thing is though, he worked his butt off to get big in radio which is how he got the exposure to get on American Idol and so on. It's the same as athletes, he brings tons of advertising revenue to the people he works for so he gets tons of money.

  • I get a father/daughter kind of vibe with Cenk and Ana. They keep it interesting. :)

  • Nobody on the face of this earth deserves 60 million a year in income, I guess if he had to pay 90% of that in taxes I'd be OK with it, but being he pays the same or less percentage in income taxes than the average American I'm disgusted by the fact he makes this much. "Don't hate the player, hate the game" is a good quote as some here have mentioned, but at what point do we say as a people that this is just not OK. I hate the players, the game, and the fans(viewers) who created this monster.

  • who's ryan seacrest

  • Hey, wait one second.

    I like vanilla, it has a rich, creamy, smooth texture. And unlike rocky road and whatnot, I don't feel this overwhelming urge to brush my teeth and wipe my lips afterwards. The problem is all this all-natural vanilla which has a watered down taste compared to some of the artificial sweetening that really gives some vanilla its kick.

  • Ryan Seacrest has been hosting, producing,..heck doing almost everything there is on many shows. Much as he works, hell I'd love to work for him. The man just does the job in many ways as possible. People think it's easy when in reality it's not. (Not that I would know, but hell that would be pressuring for me to handle doing shows every week.)

  • I never knew he made that much. He makes more than the people he talks about. Its kinda ridiculous, but I don't care. If things go the way the should, he will get taxed out the ass on all that money, but you know what these damn republicans are trying to do......

  • I've never seen an episode of American Idol, but I do know that he is not a judge. What does he do on the show then? Just introduce people?

  • @ijustwannawatchshite

    That and helping to murder the music industry along with just standing around looking pretty while on camera.

  • damn, i just got a lot more respect for him...that guy actually works really hard.

  • @chrisknows

    He really does. I like him because he works hard for the money, a lot of money but hey...that's amazing.

  • I figured he was making a heck of a lot of money, but I didn't think it was $60 million. Congrats to him

    (*whispers* Pst...Ryan if you're reading this...please donate to my Broke College Student Fund: Help a Student Live a Dream. It's for a great cause!)

  • Ryan who?

  • wow, I didn't know Simon Cowell earned 134 millions. Was that really per season as they make it sound or was it overall?

    If it's per season, then I really don't feel like Seacrest earning 60 million/year, because the dude is all over the place working his ass off (maybe literally at times) and has no life outside his job. It's more deserved than 134 millions to sit in a tight black shirt showing your nipples and trying to be the asshole for TV ratings.

  • okay... what exactly do they mean .... vanilla???

  • @NeoQuello boring, nothing special.no real discernible talent.

    He gets $60 million a year to look like a douchebag and say words with specific emphasis while reading a script... what a world we live in...

  • Can't hate on him for making his money.. KEEP DOING YOU RYAN

  • Thanks to congress he gets to keep almost all of that 60 million.

  • @vitalem4 Good for him,it's his money.

  • What the hell is guesstimate?

  • Love these new openings.

    FTW.

  • Who is Ryan Seacrest?

  • is it me, or has there been a huge amount of new sponsors for tyt?

  • and i thought athletes get overpaid... Atleast they put their bodies and spend most of the day training to an intense level thats about human capabilities

  • Why would anyone listen to Seacrest on the radio. He's so incredibly dull.

  • Comment removed

  • some guys have all the luck :(

  • OMG ANA wot the fuck was that number u said, utter clueless

  • 60 million huh? He'll be able to afford to move out of the Keebler Elf tree.

  • forget being a surgeon, a teacher, a scientist, or someone who actually makes a difference in the world...

    let's be ryan seacrest, y'all.

  • Ryan seacrest and ricky martin are the same person.

  • Vanilla goes well with just about anything...Seacrest is the ultimate "get out of the way guy"

  • 28 hours of the day? lol.

  • Even after getting my bachelors degree and getting a "good" paying job I will still be making a fraction of what these celebrities make which is just sad to think about

  • Seacrest isn't worth that much obviously (who is). But I find him pretty likable and easy to listen to on TV. Granted I basically only see him on the opening weeks of Idol and New Years Eve.

  • That's 1,90 $ per second (if I didn't miscalculate) So even when he's sleeping, eating or scratching his ass, he's making almost 2 Dollars a second. Fuck! I'm in the wrong business ^^

  • Yup, Bill Hicks called it. Dick Clark is the antichrist.

  • I'm going to ask the real question "what would you pay Ryan Seacrest for anything?"

  • Had he made anything with high cultural or artistic value it would have been justified but as he is a talentless douche who makes banal crap for the idiot viewers he does not deserve it in the slightest. Give that money to teachers or doctors or real artists who deserve it.

  • And republicans would say that he deserves to keep every penny, and to ask him to give 39% to the country would kill jobs!

  • um let's see here .... FUCK NO!

  • at is with the racist vanilla comments

  • THIS GUY IS NOT LIKED AT MSNBC. HE WAS CAUGHT JERKING OFF IN THE STALL. AND HE MADE A JOKE ABOUT OLBERMANN PISSING ON HIMSELF. HE IS AN ASSHOLE

  • good question

  • ryan, lemme get a milli

  • vanilla is my favorite flavor..

  • I love reading the whining comments complaining about how much money Ryan makes. Its called jealously

  • Can someone please explain why people hate Ryan Seacrest so much? I am not American, and though I have followed some episodes of American Idol, I really don't see where all the hate comes from. I'm kinda indifferent to him... he is an okay host, but I really don't think he is THAT unlikeable. So what is the problem? What did I miss? What did he do? Surely he must have done something to deserve this burning hatred aimed at him from everyone.

  • You could plug in ANYONE who can speak clearly and without impediments and they would do better than this talentless douchebag.

  • don't hate the player, hate the guy who let the player play the game.

  • Will Ryan pull a Ricky Martin and come out of the closet 14 years in his career?...cause when i see Ryan i don´t see a manly man but i see a Nancy man...

  • The one ime I saw that guy on Larry King I was so sure he was on some drug. He was so hyper and he was blinking all the time and he had nothing smart to say.

  • @davefgranger No, I don't think anybody involved in anything so transient as entertainment should earn a quarter of that in a lifetime. Respond to my statement, not your straw men.

    If you actually read what I said I made the point that Cowell makes that money from not just "being a cunt to people" he owns rights, he takes a ownership cuts etc.. and for better or for worse has rather rare qualifications.

    Seacrest on the other hand is just a dime a dozen talking head. Large difference.

  • @CmdrTobs what matters is how much money he produces to this companies, if he gets pay 60.000.000 million in 3 years, the corporation that hires him gets double

  • @fackafacka

    Not necessarily. Sometimes "entertainers" do not earn the revenue to justify their salary. Look at athletes who do not perform after a high contract year or star actors who lose their appeal and their film flops.

  • @mistacramer yes, that happens too, theres always some risk.

  • @fackafacka In free market capitalism with all the envisioned efficiency it's not just how much a person makes for the company it's how rare there skills are to achieve that. Hence why postgrades will only earn £30,000 a year in a drug company that makes Billions.

    The point is his skills are dime a dozen (Vanilla). The books of any agency will have dozens of Ceacrests. Yet he earns 60M.

    The point here is inefficiency in broadcasting, from historic lack of competition.

  • @CmdrTobs maybe, but it might seem like theres two million guys like him, but he is there and he works quite hard for it. What would ana or cenk give to be in his place? if you give ANYONE in the TYT crew 60.000.000 for three years, they would be as vanilla as you want. FO sure

  • @fackafacka "What would ana or cenk give to be in his place?" - How many legs does a caterpillar have?

    In capitalism hardwork does not entitle you to any wage, your worth (any worth) is a function of demand. A PC costs less than a hunk of diamond that does nothing. It's all priced on demand.

    In Seacrests case there is a glut of money in TV . He is milking that glut. That's all. As the internet takes ever more advertising money away from TV they will soon have to trim there costs.....

  • Please don't say "guesstimate"

    Please...

  • I get it. He's a good radio host. That on top of American Idol and all the other shit he does I get it. Dude works hard.

  • When I grow up, I wanna be a douchebag like the people on TV.

  • When I read the title of this video all I thought was: Who the hell is Ryan Seacrest?!

  • Noooo! Must not extend broadcast. Makes my ears bleed like Fred.

  • i cant understand why these people dont retire, if i made like 60 mil, even 40 mil in one year, i would just fkin retire after that year, thats more then enough money to last you, greedy ass people o.o

  • @satbir129 well, they buy all this stuff that requires them to keep making money, if you have mansions and cars and many other things, you spend more money ; the more you make , the more you need . Its like drugs.

  • how fuck face like this get 60 mil a year

  • Ana is so dumb

  • no one can maintain his kind of workload for very long can't wait to see the melt down

  • The man sells advertising which in turn gets people to buy products. And the fact he works round the clock. You know what, I think now you're just against rich people and when they get too rich for working "28 hours a day" then you should not have that much money.
