In a 2021 Instagram post, he said that Gary had been 'battling cancer for several years.' At the time, they thought it was 'no longer detectable,' but on Monday's 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest,' he tearfully admitted that his father's cancer 'got worse and it spread.' 10 Ryan Seacrest gets emotional on the July 21 episode of 'On Air With Ryan Seacrest.' onairwithryan/Instagram 10 Ryan Seacrest in an Instagram photo. Ryan Seacrest/Instagram The former 'Live with Kelly and Ryan' co-host said that when this happens to a loved one, it's 'a hard thing to see, because the treatments that are commonly recommended can be barbaric to the system. They can cause so much damage to your body in other ways.' Gary also got pneumonia while undergoing chemotherapy, Ryan revealed. During 'American Idol' last season, he said that his sister Meredith called him to say, 'Dad is in the ICU, and how fast can you get here?' 10 Ryan Seacrest and Aubrey Paige in 2024. aubreypaige_/Instagram 10 Ryan Seacrest at 'American Idol.' Disney via Getty Images After he finished 'American Idol,' he recalled flying to Atlanta to go to the hospital. 'The night that I got there, the conversation they were having with [my father] about an emergency surgery was a life or death conversation, and I've never seen my strong, very smart father with the look on his face that he had — and the concern, and looking at me to help guide what decisions should be made in this moment,' Ryan said. Gary decided not to have surgery, but Ryan stuck around at the time and broadcast 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest' from his Atlanta hotel. 10 Ryan Seacrest and his sister Meredith, his dad Gary Seacrest and his mom, Connie. ryanseacrest/Instagram 'When you see a parent suffering and when you see them going through this and you don't understand it yourself, you're just listening to all the different doctors and trying to make sense of what they're trying to suggest and do,' he explained. The 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest' host said about his father: 'He could not get up to sit. He could not eat. He could not drink water. He could not go to the bathroom. Weeks go by in ICU and finally he began to get some strength back.' Ryan's mother, Connie, is also in remission after a cancer battle, which made him want to help out more, he explained. 10 Ryan Seacrest at 'Live with Kelly and Ryan.'

He added that his parents have been married 'for over 55 years. They've got each other and the pneumonia is gone, but his cancer is not.' The prolific TV host explained that the nurses who looked after his father were 'angels… that nurture and care and have emotion about their patients' and that he 'loved' them. 10 Ryan Seacrest and his dad Gary Seacrest in 2021. ryanseacrest/Instagram 10 Ryan Seacrest and his dad Gary Seacrest and his family in 2021. ryanseacrest/Instagram Gary was released earlier this month and is home in Atlanta, Ryan said. He revealed that he's flown from Los Angeles to Atlanta every weekend to visit his father, who struggled to stand up from his chair. Getting emotional and saying, 'I'm embarrassed,' Ryan continued, 'I got the most powerful, good, happy picture from my dad and my mother, who was with him. They went to a beach to sit outside. They just went to look at the water. They can't do much, but I saw him smile. I saw my mom smile.' Ryan ended by sharing, 'Cancer affects every one of us in some ways. And it sucks. And the treatments suck … treatments are tough. But I know he's going to get through this.'

Logic's ‘Paradise Records' Trailer is a Rollicking Chronicle of a ‘Hero's Journey'
Seven years ago, Logic announced that he had written a comedy film. 'I love range, as far as acting, from like drama and all types of stuff, but if I'm going to come out the gate, I just want to make people laugh,' he said during On Air With Ryan Seacrest at the time, teasing that the film would revolve around a record store, but not giving much past that. On Friday, Logic once against traversed genres, and released the trailer for Paradise Records, which he both directs and stars in. A quick synopsis of the film reads: 'Cooper is trying to keep the doors of Paradise Records open with its motley crew of entertaining employees, even as the world works against him.' The clip opens with Cooper (played by Logic) behind the counter of his neighborhood record shop before cutting to a scene of the hard-pressed store owner getting the news that he needs a whopping $178,000 to keep the doors open.

While the trailer promises a chaotic series of events from a robbery to a 'plot twist,' the film will no doubt be centered around 'the hero's journey where something crazy happens' and Cooper will have to 'figure it out.' The upcoming film is set to premiere on June 6 at Tribeca Film Festival. Kevin Smith executive produced the project, alongside Logic, Jordan Monsanto, Liz Destro. Tramayne Hudson, Reed Northrup, and Mary Elizabeth Kelly also star in the film.
