Ryan Seacrest is dropping the mic.

The longtime E! red carpet emcee is leaving his hosting gig after 14 years. 

"After 14 years of hosting E!’s Live from the Red Carpet I’ve decided to move on to new adventures. I’ll miss the whole crew that works so hard behind the scenes and of course my amazing partner Giuliana [Rancic]. Thanks to everyone for watching all these years," the 46-year-old announced on social media Thursday.

The comments section was flooded with messages calling Seacrest "the best," a "legend" on TV, and a "red carpet master."

Longtime "Bachelor" host Chris Harrison wrote, "Congratulations on an amazing run my friend." While "Housewives" star Lisa Rinna called him an "icon."
