Thank U, Seacrest! Tanya Rad hilariously — and epically, if we do say so ourselves — personalized and remixed Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” as a Christmas present for Ryan Seacrest on-air on Friday, December 14.
“Her’s is the smallest,” Ryan said on-air when Tanya presented him with a tiny gift bag. “Oh boy, what’s this? It’s not even a gift? It’s a piece of paper: ‘Merry Christmas your gift is on soundboard one,’” he read before playing the LOL song. “Cut No. seven.’”
Tanya remixed the lyrics to instead read: “Thought I’d end up in promo, but it wasn’t a match / tried to be cool in LA, now I look back and laugh / even almost got married and moved to Arizona / but I can say thank you to Ryan, because you were my angel / And for that I say thank you Seacrest, thank you Seacrest, thank you Seacrest / You’re my best friend that’s the opposite sex.”
😂😂😂😂
“I have to say … that is a unique gift,” Ryan said, after nearly peeing his pant with laughter. “I’m honored to be your ‘best friend — of the opposite sex.’”
Watch back the hilarious moment in the video above and to see the adorable gifts Sisanie and Patty Rodriguez also gifted Ry.
“Thank You, Seacrest” Lyrics:
Thought I’d end up in promo
But it wasn’t a match
Tried to be cool in LA
Now I look back & laugh
Even almost got married
& moved to Arizona
Glad I can say thank you Ryan
Cuz you were my angel
You’ve seen me in love
You’ve seen me be not so patient
You’ve seen me in pain
Now I’m so amazing
I’ve loved and I’ve lost
& you’ve stood right beside me
Now look where I am
Look at all you’ve taught me
And for that I say
Thank you, seacrest
Thank you, seacrest
You’re my best friend thats the opposite sex
Thank you, seacrest
Thank you, seacrest
Spend more time with my cowokers
I ain’t worried bout nothing
Cuz they all like fam
We havin’ better discussions
I know you tell me to blink real fast
But I’m having a blast
Doesn’t even feel like we’re workin’
And I’m so good with that
