We&amp;apos;ve done this show for nine years. When they take me out into the audience, sometimes the energy out there takes me to a different place,&amp;quot; adds Seacrest, who also hosts a morning radio show on KIIS-FM, produces several shows for the E! network and hosts its news show.Of his decision to dance with a beefy guy in the audience, which he joked was season 8 contestant Michael Sarver (it wasn&amp;apos;t), he says, &amp;quot;That guy looked like the most inappropriate person to dance with, so I figured, &amp;apos;Let&amp;apos;s pick him up and just dance with him for a second.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Amazing Idol makeovers(Urban, meanwhile, has said, &amp;quot;I didn&amp;apos;t really know what they were doing...people were laughing, so I just had to zone out and keep thinking about my song.&amp;quot;)Seacrest says most of his dialogue is &amp;quot;unscripted,&amp;quot; including his quip to Lambert (he told the season 8 runner-up, &amp;quot;My tongue isn&amp;apos;t nearly as talented as yours&amp;quot;) and his joke about season 1 co-host Brian Dunkleman helming Idol Gives Back.&amp;quot;I was also setting up the fact that we&amp;apos;re going to do a 10-year anniversary and look back on all of the different things that have been a part of this show... including my see-through shirts, my frosted tips, Simon with the bad hair and his pants jacked up,&amp;quot; Seacrest says, &amp;quot;so the 10th-anniversary season is gonna be fun.&amp;quot;\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
