A publicity stunt or what?

Sounds a little "fishy" to me...

Should be picked up by "The Fish"...

Souldn't it be Ryan Seacreast has jumped the shark?

BITE ME SHYGUY, that was my line........

WTF is jump the shark anyway?

I don't think I fully get it.

It's a little like the "peter principle".

kskd: you're kidding right?
One of THE most well known sayings of the 20th Century?
Think "Happy Days" last season and the "Fonz".
It's a CLASSIC!

That shark could smell a stinky morning show from a mile away. And the Ryan Seacrest Morning show is a STINKY MORNING SHOW.

Have you heard his morning show in LA? Its Awful, and Ellen K brings NOTHING to the show! She has Zero personality. She was in Playboy, and I think thats the ONLY reason why she got the job on the show. This is radio, who F'ing cares what you look like.

You know the fishiest part of this? The quote, "Seacrest, 33, said the shark's tooth 'wasn't a great thing to find. It was like finding a splinter!'"

Seacrest? 33?

Yeah right!

According to IMDB.com, Ryan Seacrest was born December 24th, 1974. Looks like 33 to me.

What the heck does his age have to do with anything?

@Dodger: No! I wasn't kidding. Nobody ever made the Happy Days reference, and I just never thought to ask.

It makes perfect sense now. For years, I never knew what the damn shark had to do with peaking.

Thanks!!

On the upside, there is at least one "Happy Days" I've not seen. (goes off to video sites, looking for the root of the shark.)

His age has nothing to do with the shark bite incident. That just jumped out at me because it is a huge lie.

Shaving, anyone?

Ryan Seacrest has always had a KILLER morning show!! LOL!

Get it? Killer as in a shark, as in a shark trying to kill Ryan Seacrest. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

And why would Ryan Seacrest be shaving his legs? What, are you calling him gay? Or his he just a metrosexual?

This just in -

The acting bug has yet to bite Paris Hilton.

I wonder if Ryan Seacrest was "Once bitten Twice shy" by Great White? HA!


My guess is that Ryan Seacrest was not bitten by a shark. I'm betting he was shaving his hairy toes and the razor stuck him. Trust me, Seacrest is a Metro Sexual, Im betting he shaves every single strand of hair off his body, including his pubes, and his hairy butt cheeks.

That's a great song!(first paragraph, not second)

I think it was the great Def Leppard that said "LOVE BITES", even when its from a shark. HAR DE HAR HAR!

Its too bad the shark didn't bite Ryan Seacrests Head off.

It's a little like the "peter principle".

What the HELL is "the peter principle" smooch?

The Peter Principle states that everyone rises to their own level of incompetency. That means you do a job really well and get promoted again and again until you can no longer perform the job properly and there you stay!

Since nobody seems to be interested in clarifying what "jump the shark" means, I'll try...

There was an episode in the 4th season of "Happy Days" in which The Fonz dons water skis (Of course, he's REALLY good at it; he's cool, he's "The Fonz"!) and, quite ridiculously, executes a perfect ski-jump over a shark (um, yeah.. in a lake, a shark...).

This scene became the model of the exact point when a show becomes patently ridiculous and should never be taken with any seriousness again, or has at least reached its peak never to return. Of course, this is subject to widely varying opinion... After all, Happy Days ran for SIX highly-rated seasons after that infamous episode was shown.

There is a website called jumptheshark.com on which viewers can vote and comment on all manner of tv shows regarding whether they have "jumped the shark" or not, and exactly when, why and how.
