For Ryan Seacrest, the glow must go on. 

Even after the On Air With Ryan Seacrest host learned that his first-ever spray tan turned out more subtle than he intended, he maintained that he was proud of his UV-free, sunkissed look. 

“My debut spray tanning was last night. Never done it before,” Seacrest said during a Nov. 10 taping of his radio show, noting that his selected tan level was “two.” 

Though his co-host Patty Rodriguez suggested the American Idol star opt for at least a level three, Seacrest understandably wanted to avoid accidentally recreating Ross Geller’s infamous tan fail in Friends. 

As he put it, “I was nervous because they told me if I go too far, you just can’t really downgrade it.” 

And as contributor Tanya Radz also confessed she couldn’t tell a difference after the treatment, the 51-year-old stood by his understated aesthetic, replying, “Maybe that’s good.” 

As for one reason the producer’s reveal was so underwhelming?
