As opposed to the gravitas of appearing on an MTV Town Hall or The Daily Show. Somebody listens to Ryan Seacrest or he wouldn't have been #44 in Forbes' magazine's "Celebrity 100" list of the richest and most powerful celebrities, outranking Conan O'Brien among others and right below Glenn Beck. There's rumors that he is being courted to replace Larry King and/or Oprah. It's stylish to mock Seacrest but if you are trying to energize that amorphous group known as "the young people" it probably isn't a mistake to take a stab at some of them from that venue. His $51 million a year in income indicates he has more than a couple of fans out there.
