By now you know Ryan Seacrest is the new host of Live with Kelly Ripa.

But there are some rumors that American Idol is coming back to your small screen, and he could still be its host.

Only thing is, he’s now living in New York, and AI shoots in LA.

Here’s how it could happen.

Ryan does Live with Kelly on Thursday and pre-tapes his Friday show. Then jumps on private jet early that afternoon to the west coast. He preps for AI on Friday, shoots the show on Sunday at 5 pm local time… then jumps back on his plane at 7pm and gets a few hours of sleep and arrives in NY at 3 am.

He can do live with Kelly on Monday… jump back in the car by 10:15 and head back to LA. He’ll land there around 3 in the afternoon, shoots the results show at 5, and high tails it back to New York by 7 pm.

He sleeps on the plane and lands in the Big Apple on Tuesday morning around 3 am and be ready for Live with Kelly for his 9 am show.

Exhausting, but possible.
