#22: Ryan Seacrest’s Unfortunate High-Five Mishap

In a memorable and cringe-worthy American Idol moment, Ryan Seacrest, known for his friendly and supportive demeanor, attempted to give a high five to a contestant as a congratulatory gesture. However, he didn’t realize the contestant was blind, leading to an awkward pause as the contestant didn’t respond to the gesture.

Quickly realizing the mistake, Seacrest tried to save the moment by smoothly transitioning into a handshake instead. While uncomfortable, both parties handled the moment with grace, but it remains one of those unforgettable live TV mishaps that left viewers squirming in their seats.
