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.
I understand contracts. But, to me, announcing retirement a year before he retires is a mistake. He should not have been allowed to do that. Also, making a heartwarming farewell speech on Friday, and then, on Monday, he shows up as the host of the show again is ridiculous. And, I don't think Ryan Seacrest needs his help. Just my opinion.
