Ryan Seacrest Jumps Agencies After Signing $45 Million Deal THR

Ryan Seacrest left the William Morris Agency, his home for 10 years, and signed with CAA, just days after concluding his three-year, $45 million deal to continue hosting “American Idol,” The Hollywood Reporter says.

WMA didn’t represent him in that deal; his attorney Craig Jacobson did, along with Adam Sher, a former WMA agent who once co-represented him until joining Seacrest's Ryan Seacrest Prods.

CAA now represents three of the show’s key players: creator Simon Fuller, judge Simon Cowell and Seacrest.
