The Myth of the Perpetual Bachelor
For decades, the name Ryan Seacrest has been synonymous with relentless ambition, a legendary work ethic, and an almost superhuman schedule. From waking before dawn to anchor national morning broadcasts to flying across the country for live television events, his professional life has played out entirely in front of a global audience.
