The syndicated TV series "On-Air With Ryan Seacrest" is going off the air, permanently.

Seacrest was unable to turn his visibility as host of Fox's "American Idol" into success for the talk and music show, and low ratings led Twentieth Television this week to announce the end of production.

"I am proud of my team, who worked tirelessly every day," Seacrest said in a statement. "I wouldn't have changed anything about this entire experience and I look forward to building my business within Twentieth Television."

The Fox TV-owned studio said it believed the goal of providing viewers with "an engaging and alternative source of entertainment" was accomplished.

:D

7. D'oh!

That was exactly what I was going to say but you beat me to it.

My wife and I were listening to the latest Death Cab for Cutie album and there's one song where the word "seacrest" is in the lyrics. I said "Did he just say Seacrest? Seacrest OUT!" and started laughing hysterically. My wife looked perplexed. When I tried to explain it to her, she ragged on me pretty hard. I'm no longer allowed to talk about anything having to do with Howard Stern around her.

4. Put "Judge Judy" back in that time slot...

...so I can see it when I get off work.

6. Bad move on his part.

The show wasn't that bad. Some good guests. They spent a TON of money on the set which is now empty. It was in the Hollywood/Highland complex, a great location.

BUT, I think Ryan over extended what he thought was his popularity. He screwed up when he left his afternoon drive home gig and took over Rick Dees' morning spot when he left. Ryan's now up against Stern on KLSX and Jamie & Danny (Bonaduce) on STAR-98 here in LA.

Sorry cutie-pie, that nice ass of yours only can go so far.
