The 41-year-old host appeared on The Today Show on Tuesday morning (January 5) and was asked to pick his favorite winner from the past 14 seasons.

Ryan‘s pick… Carrie Underwood!

“Kelly [Clarkson] too, but I was just on New Years with Carrie and she’s just a superstar,” he said. “She really is.”

“I was just sort of thinking about that last episode, the last night, the final time we crown a winner and how emotional that will be,” Ryan said. “I love this show.”
