'LIVE' Television Gets Responsible 'ON AIR w/RYAN SEACREST' Proves That Viewers Come First (Transcripts Attached Below) LOS ANGELES, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- In this day of heightened sensitivity towards indecency, Ryan Seacrest proves that LIVE television can and should be responsible. On yesterday's "ON AIR w/ RYAN SEACREST" (syndicated-check local listings), Seacrest invited "America's Next Top Model" judge Janice Dickinson to appear, only to have the interview slant immediately to the obscene. Touted as the "first" supermodel, Dickinson took this LIVE television appearance to the extreme with unbecoming language and sexual gestures, not fit for Seacrest's audience. "We are not afraid to walk the line ....but we don't want to cross it," Seacrest said. "I want a show that's suitable for the entire family to watch, which is why I made the conscious decision to cut to commercial and not continue Ms. Dickinson's interview." "ON AIR" has been on a seven-second delay since the show launched on January 12, 04, but had never been instituted before yesterday's show. The show's website was inundated with thousands of e-mails in support from the public on the show's decision to cut the interview short. "ON AIR" is produced at The Hollywood & Highland Entertainment Complex in Hollywood, CA by Larchmont Productions, in association with Twentieth Television.
