Before hosting Dick Clark’s Rock New Year’s Eve on ABC, Seacrest, 50, appeared on Good Morning America to talk about the traditions of the show – including the moment someone proposes in the crowd.
“Yes, that is something that has happened almost every year,” he shared through People on Monday, December 30. “Some of it makes TV, some of it doesn’t, but people love that moment of saying, ‘Will you be with me for the rest of our lives?'”
ABC reporter Will Reevewho proposed to a longtime girlfriend Amanda Dubin in New York City last month, joked, “I should have proposed on New Year’s Eve with Ryan. Amanda would have said no.”
Seacrest jokingly replied, “I still have time.”

In response to Seacrest’s joke on live TV, Reeve said, “This one’s with you, Ryan. However, we will not rush you.”
