Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night.

It seems Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home.”

A longtime friend and colleague dishes: Ryan’s been really burning the candle at both ends, and that American Idol finale was just the capper!

“He’d been up since very, very early in the morning … Ryan was juggling a lot of stuff in his own home studio. He was just completely wrung out, and he finally broke down!”

The following morning, the go-getter was absent from his daytime talk show, Live with Kelly & Ryan, but returned the next day to thank fans for their well-wishes.

“Working round the-clock, so I got a day off to relax. And at it on Live,” adds the weary host.

Says the pal: All his friends are hoping this will teach him a valuable lesson — that he needs to slow down. If he doesn’t, he could kill himself!
