On his radio program and blog, Seacrest expanded:

“She thinks [On Air with Ryan Seacrest] is just low brow,” said Ryan. “I just want to be clear, it is the low brow show she wanted to be on twice to come promote her stuff.”

Seacrest’s website also notes that “during her father’s Presidential campaign, Ryan welcomed McCain onto the radio show to promote a children’s book she wrote about her experiences growing up.”
