It's a fun little thing called a contract. He had multi-year contract that expired as of the 41st show of this season. He announced, last year, that he would be retiring as of the 41st show of this season. You may have missed that show, when he made the announcement, or maybe you've forgotten what he said when he made it.
But he spent the last year fulfilling his contractual obligations. And the network is happy with him, and he will be assisting Ryan Seacrest behind the scenes to get the next season rolling smoothly, as a co-producer for the upcoming year.
