Yeah, I watch it every week, too. I like that it's family friendly and it makes for good water cooler talk the next morning at work.

Disasgree. In the early seasons he was annoying and had that cheesy tag-line ("Seacrest... out!"). Since then, I think he's gotten a LOT better at what he does. When the judges are all over the place, he tries to bring their message to a point. When Simon goes overboard with his cruelty, he engages him, deflects the criticism and softens the blow on the performer. He has a good sense of when to be silly and when to take a serious tone. Also consider that he has no script up there -- he's responding to unpredictable performers and unpredictable judges. I think he does a pretty good job.
