With his contract set to expire soon, Ryan Seacrest said Sunday he “can’t imagine life without ‘American Idol.’”

Though negotiations are ongoing, it remains to be seen whether Seacrest will stay on as host of the hit reality series or take his talents elsewhere.

In December, it was reported the TV personality is in talks with NBC to host the “Today Show,” if Matt Lauer leaves at the end of 2012.

Speaking during the “Idol” panel at the Television Critics Association’s Winter press tour, Seacrest said he “can’t comment on that” but admitted, “At this point… I only see myself hosting ‘American Idol.’”

Added FOX reality head Mike Darnell, “Our expectation is he’ll be on this television show for as long as we can keep him on the show.”

Do you think Seacrest should remain the “American Idol” host?
