Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa trade tearful goodbyes on his final 'Live' show

Ryan Seacrest gave an emotional farewell speech Friday on his final episode of ABC's "Live With Kelly and Ryan" — his morning-TV home since 2017.

Kelly Ripa and Seacrest, joining his co-host for the last time on the show's soundstage, said their tearful goodbyes and engaged in a complimentary love-fest.

"I'm a very lucky guy. I want you all to know it's not lost on me how fortunate I am," Seacrest said. "Fortunate to have had this seat next to you, Kell, for six years. You're incomparable. There's no one like you."
