While Ryan Seacrest hasn’t confirmed he’ll be hosting the American Idol reboot, the co-host of Live with Kelly and Ryan revealed that he would like American Idol to be set in the Big Apple.

Ryan, who just moved to NYC, said, “Just move American Idol, [that] would be so much easier!”

As we previously reported, a source said that it’s “entirely possible to do American Idol in New York City. It could be more costly, but worth it.”

Another source told Entertainment Tonight, ”Ryan has a lot of affection for American Idol, given the significance to his career and all the connectivity it has to the things he loves — live, pop music, talent discovery, etc. There have been no formal discussions with Ryan about his involvement but I’m sure he would be open to it, in the right capacity in the scenario that fits the other pieces above.”
