  The show was broadcast live from a studio in the Hollywood and Highland complex in Hollywood and featured a background view of the street scene below. The title came from his morning radio show of the same name, which also debuted in 2004 and later went nationwide as a daily syndicated radio series in 2008.

  On Air struggled in the ratings throughout its short run. It featured well-known guests, and capitalized upon the fact that host Ryan Seacrest concurrently hosted American Idol by featuring contestants who had been eliminated from the popular talent program the night before.
  
  Seacrest would return to daytime talk television thirteen years later, when he began working in New York City on May 1, 2017, as co-host of the syndicated talk show Live with Kelly and Ryan.
