Ryan Seacrest had a hilarious reunion with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos during his guest appearance on Thursday’s (May 18) episode of Live With Kelly and Mark.

Just one month after making his exit from the show, Seacrest came back to promote the season finale of his other gig American Idol, set to air this Sunday (May 21.) But he also took the chance to boast about how much free time he has to pursue new hobbies.

“I’ve got all kinds of time,” Seacrest said. “There’s this fascinating thing I’ve experienced called time. I don’t know if you guys know about it. The alarm chimes in the morning. It’s a soft nudge.” He joked that he now has enough time to walk “through the forest” and harvest his own coffee beans every morning.

Prior to his exit in April, Seacrest co-hosted Live for six years at Ripa’s side.

He also took the time to praise Ripa and Consuelos for carrying the show since he’s been gone. “I have to say, I’ve been watching—you guys are so great,” he praised. “I love Mark doing the teases. I love the promos I see. I love the game.”

Seacrest then tried his best to win a Live With Kelly and Mark mug as a memento. In a round of the game in question, Ripa and Consuelos had to figure out if Seacrest picked up an animal movement cardio class or began studying dendrology since he left Live.

“Animal movement, I’m familiar with that,” Consuelos said. “Can you show me a couple animal movements?”

He didn’t have to ask Seacrest twice. The American Idol host immediately got down on all fours and crawled across the stage. At Consuelos’ urge to demonstrate another, Seacrest leapt back across the stage.

“If I know Ryan Seacrest – and I think I do – these are both lies,” Ripa joked once the timer was up.

Consuelos eventually got it right, however. Seacrest, apparently, has started studying dendrology, or the study of trees, in his free time. But that animal movement cardio seemed very believable for a second there.

Luckily for Seacrest, he got a new Live With Kelly and Mark mug to take home.
