Report: E! may employ a 30-second delay for Ryan Seacest's red carpet interviews

Deadline

E! is planning several "defensive scenarios" for today's E! Live from the Red Carpet broadcast in response to Seacrest's sexual harassment scandal, according to Deadline's source. Another insider added: "The plan being considered is to mainly ensure plenty of time to either cut to Giuliana or to pull the plug altogether unnoticed if an on-camera encounter with Ryan goes into tricky territory." Asked to respond, an E! spokesperson said this morning: "It’s business as usual. As always, we tape multiple sources of content simultaneously to deliver the best possible show, and there are often brief delays between interviews.”
