Seacrest high-fives blind contestant. Fail.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Poor Ryan Seacrest. As hard as he tries, he still comes off as Mr. Roboto. PopCrunch reports:
In case you missed it, E!’s “The Soup” has snagged a clip of the “Smallest Man In Showbusiness” making the giant boo-boo of trying to a high-five legally blind contestant on last night’s season premiere of “American Idol.”
Yes, people. Ryan Seacrest tried high-fiving visually impaired musician Scott MacIntyre, who secured a Golden Ticket after wowing the judges during last summer’s “Idol” auditions in Phoenix.
What is Seacrest even doing giving high-fives, anyway? Tired.
