Amidst all the many celebrities that have been accused of sexual harassment, only a few have managed to find a clean chit and more so, resume work with people willing to hire them again. Partially belonging to that category now is host, Ryan Seacrest.

The man was accused of sexual harassment as a part of the #MeToo movement last year but there hasn't been too much development on his case ever since. Needless to say, he was removed from American Idol and hosting red carpets at award functions ever since. But now, after all this time, Seacrest is all set to make his comeback as he has been signed on to be the host yet again on American Idol's upcoming season.

According to a report in Variety, Seacrest will also continue hosting and executive producing “On Air with Ryan Seacrest,” his nationally syndicated L.A. morning drive-time radio show. He also serves as co-host and executive producer on ABC’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” as well as ABC’s annual live show “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.”

The news comes after it was announced in August that the judging panel of Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie would all be returning for the new season of American Idol as well. Seacrest has been with the show since it launched on Fox back in 2002.

“We are delighted that our entire ‘Idol’ dream team will be reuniting for the upcoming season on ABC,” said Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment. “Ryan has been hosting ‘Idol’ since the beginning, and the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the show after 17 seasons are remarkable. We can’t wait to see what’s in store as Ryan, our superstar judges and in-house mentor set out on their nationwide search for the next great music sensation.”
