NOT BEING NORMAL HIS SPEECH WAS
OFF AND HIGH SHUTTING HALFWAY.
SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT.
HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS HAVING A
STROKE.
A REP SAID RYAN DID NOT HAVE ANY
KIND OF STROKE.
LIKE MANY PEOPLE RYAN IS

HE KEEPS A FULL PLATE.
>> THE REASON I HAVE 10 THINGS,
I’M AFRAID I’LL LOSE FIVE.
NOTHING WILL REPLACE THIS BUT
I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF WHAT MIGHT BE
NEXT.
>> NOW, IF IT’S EVEN FOR A
MOMENT, SEACREST IS HITTING
PAUSE.
FOR "TODAY," JOE FRYER, NBC

>> YEAH, GUYS, I DON’T KNOW IF
YOU HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH THAT
VIDEOTAPE OF HIS REP SAYING IT

CERTAINLY HOPE HE’S OKAY.
>> WE SHOULD POINT OUT, TOO,
CARSON, HE’S A REAL HEALTH NUT,
