Brian Dunkelman played the buffoon to Seacrest's straight man. He played the part too well and came off silly, childish, jerky and dumb. His comments were so stupid, he added nothing to value to the show, actually was very annoying to viewers. Fox decided he'd never be missed. They were right.
Boy, do you have a good memory. I've watched since the beginning and I don't remember him. Have you tried a google search.
Brian Dunkleman, actually.
He says he didn't like doing it, and chose to step aside, although I think he just wasn't as good at it as Ryan.
I read somewhere that he thought that Idol wouldn't go more than 1 more seaon, & he wanted to get a"a real job". OOOPPS!!!
