Ryan Seacrest called in sick for 'American Idol' for the first time ever. He joked: "I am not Ryan Seacrest; I am Bobby Bones. Sadly, Ryan is sick, and I look most like him so they asked me to fill his shoes tonight. Ryan - who was live tweeting as he tuned in for the episode - replied: "Just needed a quick maintenance check. No, I really had to cash in on my very first sick day, but my friend and mentor Bobby Bones was kind enough to to fill in."
