Seacrest’s commitment to multiple projects—including his daily iHeartRadio show, his role as an executive producer of The Kardashians, and hosting duties for American Idol—is said to be wearing him thin. Sources close to the media mogul claim the pressure is finally catching up with him.

“He’s got too much on his plate and doesn’t know when to slow down,” an insider revealed. “His frame is noticeably thinner, and despite showcasing comfort food on social media, he’s not eating enough to maintain a healthy weight. The consensus is clear—he’s overwhelmed.”

Wheel of Fortune’s Struggles Add to the Pressure

Seacrest’s debut season as the new host of Wheel of Fortune has been anything but smooth. Ratings have taken a noticeable dip since he took over for longtime host Pat Sajak, and fans have been vocal about the changes. Some have taken to social media to express their disappointment, blaming the drop in viewership on the show’s lack of chemistry and the shift in hosting dynamics.

“He’s trying everything he can to keep audiences engaged, but it’s not working,” a source familiar with the situation said. “The stress of trying to revive a struggling show, on top of his other responsibilities, is seriously impacting his well-being.”

 

Fans Notice Seacrest Looking Tired and Run-Down

Concern for Seacrest’s health has been growing among fans. Social media users recently pointed out that he appeared noticeably exhausted during a March 9 episode of American Idol.

“The last two episodes he has looked really run-down, like different than normal. Heavy eye bags, weathered, etc.,” one Reddit user commented. Another added, “Yeah, he looks tired or about to crash.”

This isn’t the first time fans have expressed worry about Seacrest’s well-being. In May 2020, he sparked health concerns when he appeared droopy-eyed and struggled to read the teleprompter during a live broadcast. Many speculated that he had suffered a stroke, though his team later denied the claims, saying he simply needed rest.

Overworking Could Lead to Burnout

Seacrest’s jam-packed schedule is leaving little room for self-care, and insiders fear he is headed for a serious burnout.

“He’s not sleeping enough and relies on makeup to cover up the exhaustion,” a source disclosed. “Everyone around him believes that if he doesn’t slow down soon, his body will force him to.”

Despite the growing concerns, Seacrest has shown no signs of stepping back from his commitments. However, those closest to him believe it may only be a matter of time before his relentless work schedule takes a serious toll.

As Wheel of Fortune struggles to regain its footing and Seacrest continues to balance his overwhelming workload, the question remains—how long can he keep up this pace before it all comes crashing down?
