The 53-year-old TV personality was recently crowned a Disney Legend at D23's Ultimate Disney Fan Event, complete with a few touching remarks from Seacrest. But when she got backstage, the All My Children alum stopped by her pal's dressing room and snuck in, curious to see what he's been snacking on .
She shared footage to her IG Story and said, "Here we are, outside of Ryan's dressing room, and I feel like I should break in and see what kind of snacks he has."

In the clip, she opens the door and offers fans a quick glimpse of the room, which includes a few cozy armchairs and a small makeup station.

But within seconds, Ripa heads straight to the snack table, zooms in on the food and says, "Okay, literally, pita bread, which he's not going to eat…hummus, which he probably dipped his finger in."
The star then moves on to the fruit basket, which seems to be missing a fruit. Ripa guessed, "Maybe he had an orange."

Ripa then pointed the camera to herself and concluded, "Very disappointing."
She followed up with another clip after spotting an Erewhon bag that looked promising, but it turns out Seacrest was only reusing the bag for his clothes. Ripa captioned the video, "Thought I found good snacks @ryanseacrest." And in response, Seacrest simply reposted the story with an "LOL" gif.

Aside from hunting for snacks backstage, Ripa got to deliver a speech after receiving her special honor. She quipped, "Ryan, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm just so glad you finally found something else to host."
She added, "It is a very rare thing, anybody can tell you, in this industry, to be employed consistently by the same company for 34 years, it is my great good fortune. I owe everything to Disney."
In an exclusive Q&A with Disney Legends , Ripa also discussed how Seacrest's tribute made the milestone achievement even more memorable. She said, "It’s special that Disney does recognize our co-dependence with each other, and I think it makes sense. We can only give and receive awards from each other, so it is very special, and it gives me a chance to of course harass him on a public stage, which I never get tired of doing."
Perhaps this will inspire Seacrest to upgrade his snack game—especially when Kelly's around.
