Kelly was absent from Live With Kelly and Ryan on Wednesday’s episode, so Ali Wentworth filled her spot.

As she and Ryan took their seats, he showed off his very short “schoolboy shorts” partnered with his shirt and suit jacket.

Fans “wooed” at him and hollered and the host chuckled and quietly said: “Thank you.”

Ali asked if the camera could get a full view of his outfit and he said that the cameraperson looked surprised.

“I love shorts, loafers, and a jacket,” Ali said.

“To celebrate Ali Wentworth here, I’m in my summer suit,” he said.

“Thank you. I love this,” she told him. “I have to get George Stephanopoulos in this.”

Ryan said that designers are making these new suits because “the planet is warming” and it’s “so hot outside.”

He continued: “The reason I put this on is that I was waiting for a special occasion. And the weather.”

“I read an article that shorts are the new skirt and so skirts are out and shorts are in for everybody.”

After Ryan said that he was comfortable in it, Ali told him he looked “very dapper.”

WHY RYAN?

At the end of the show, Ryan and Ali participated in the segment, Inbox, where they read fan mail.

And many of the letters were about the podcast host’s choice of outfit.

Ali read off the first one, which said: “Ryan, you are one handsome man. But that short pantsuit outfit is not up to your standards. Did you lose a bet or is that to get back at the ‘ankle haters’?”

She looked shocked as Ryan laughed.

He didn’t give an answer and said he only remembered her saying he was “handsome.”

Ryan read off another outfit insulting letter.

“Your ankles are bad enough with long pants and socks. Now it looks like you’re 10 and in Bermuda,” it read.

The 47-year-old said that would be his dream to be in Bermuda and encouraged the fan not to turn the channel.

“Awful. Awful. Awful. Put on pants that fit and cover your ankles,” another fan sent in.

One fan said he should wear a skort next time on TV and another said his outfit was “so cool.”

YOU LOOK GREAT!

Twitter fans also reacted to his wardrobe choice and many of them liked it.

“Ryan serving British schoolboy realness today with his cute outfit @RyanSeacrest #KellyandRyan,” wrote one fan.

“@RyanSeacrest those inboxes today were cruel and all lies!!! You looked sexier today than ever!!! Great ankles, sexy legs and with co-host Allie … you guys are all the rave. I never tweet, but today I had to correct the wrongs. #Sexyman #Hatersgoing2hate #hott,” said another.

A third chimed in: “@RyanSeacrest The people saying mean things about your short pants/ankles obviously have no style!!! Keep doing you… You look great.”

Another said: “@RyanSeacrest with the suit shorts set…Fresh. He is definitely living La Dolce Vita.”

NOT SO FLY

Ryan wearing shorts comes after he suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction while hosting Live with a guest co-host on Tuesday.

The host is no stranger to clothing issues on set, as he has revealed multiple awkward mishaps to viewers in the past.

With Kelly off from the show for a little time away, Ryan has been having various guest co-hosts on to help him out.

On Monday, his American Idol co-star Luke Bryan joined him, while Tuesday’s show featured TV personality, Carson Kressley.

After walking out to set with Carson, Ryan helped the newcomer get situated in Kelly’s chair before sitting in his own usual spot.

Once he was seated, Ryan realized he had suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.

As he straightened out his suit, something caught the Idol host’s attention.

“By the way, my fly is down,” Ryan revealed to everyone as he quickly worked to zip up and correct the situation.

Guest co-host Carson cheekily joked in response: “What? I guess you’re just happy to see me!”

Ryan laughed and told Carson that he had made a quick change in the back because he saw how great the guest co-host looked in his suit.

“No, it looks fantastic,” the Queer Eye alum assured Ryan after the blunder.

OH MY!

Last month, Ryan showed off his shocking new undergarments after suffering another wardrobe malfunction on the morning show.

The American Idol host shared what he described as an “awkward wardrobe moment backstage.”

He explained that Esther, the person who helps him pick out his clothes for the show, wanted him to wear a tank top under the long-sleeved blue polo shirt, though he declined.

Instead, he was given two pasties to wear on his chest to cover up his nipples.

Ryan described the undergarments, saying that “they are strange looking stickers, they have ears and a big face…and they’re the color of skin.”

A shocked Kelly told her co-host that she really wanted him to show the audience and viewers.

Influenced by the cheering crowd and his clapping colleague, Ryan reached under his shirt and pulled one of the nipple pasties free.

Throughout the episode, Ryan had a little trouble with his chest pasties and worked to make sure they stayed stuck on his skin throughout the show.

At the end of Wednesday’s show, Ryan stood up and showed off his legs in his comfy shorts.

Live With Kelly and Ryan airs on weekdays at 9 am on ABC.
