America’s sexiest daytime host Ryan Seacrest was born for superstardom. His mother, Constance Marie, told The Atlanta Journal Constitution, "Instead of playing with G.I. Joes or Cowboys and Indians, Ryan would always have a little microphone and do shows in the house.”
Seacrest got his start in radio while still in high school. When a regular DJ called in sick, the daytime talker was given his chance to shine, and he impressed the program director so much, he was given the weekend overnight shift at Star 94 in Atlanta.
