Ryan Seacrest reveals shocking salary details and extent of participation on The Kardashians after show’s move to Hulu
RYAN Seacrest has revealed details about his salary and his part in The Kardashians after the show transitioned to Hulu.
The TV star opened up about where he stands with the Kardashian-Jenner family on Tuesday's installment of Kelly Ripa's podcast, .
At one point in the episode, Kelly, 53, asked Ryan, 48, how much he's a part of the show after it's move from E! to the streaming service in 2022.
Ryan was the co-creator and producer of the family's former cable series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but got the boot when it ended in May 2021.
And it appears he has little involvement in the new series - which recently premiered its fourth season.
"Now I don't do much of anything," the former talk show host admitted.
"I talk to [the family] every once in a while. The show, when we put it on E!, was one phase of the series, and now it's gone over to Hulu, and it's in autopilot for me."
Kelly then pushed her ex-Live co-host to dish about his paycheck, assuming he makes a pretty penny off the massively successful reality TV family.
"But they have to pay you a fortune, am I right?" she asked, though Ryan revealed that wasn't the case, replying: "No. No. No."
He then went on to gush over the new show and highlight its impressive marketing of the family's multiple businesses and brands.

SWEET GESTURE
Ryan has been a good sport from the start about The Kardashians launch on Hulu and even sent Khloe and Kourtney a bouquet of flowers to celebrate its debut.
Khloe, 39, shared a beautiful arrangement of multi-colored orange and pink roses on her Instagram Stories.
She held up the card, which read: "Good luck with the launch! Love Ryan Seacrest."
The Good American founder then tagged her long-time pal and wrote: "Class act."
Kourtney, 44, later shared a similar photo with the same cheerful message.
NO BAD BLOOD
Ryan made it clear there were no hard feelings about the move in an interview with People Magazine in February 2021.
"I think they have a lot of ideas and [will do] a lot of things that they may have not had a chance to do with Keeping Up with the Kardashians because it was such a strong franchise and people wanted what they saw from the family. And that's what they got for 20 seasons," he told the publication.
"So I have a feeling they have a stack of ideas. My guess would be they want to evolve a little bit from the show that everybody has seen and do something differently."
