Is Ryan Seacrest set to replace Matt Lauer on the Today Show? Hey everyone this is Ani Esmailian for Hollyscoop. Ryan Seacrest isn't content with having four full time jobs so he may be taking over for Matt Lauer on the Today Show if Lauer doesn't renew his contract next year. Sources told the Wall Street Journal that Ryan is a 'possible successor' for the morning show, and he has reportedly already met with executives for the show earlier this week. Lauer's contract doesn't end until December 2012 so he had plenty of time to reconsider leaving. And in the meanwhile I'm sure Ryan will pick up 8 more full times jobs..
