Former American Idol host Brian Dunkleman clapped back at haters for driving an Uber when reports of his then-current occupation surfaced. Since then things have taken quite a turn, keep reading to find out.


In 2002 Idol introduced the world to two talented hosts but only one of them would make their mark in the entertainment world. Ryan Seacrest’s career has soared since his first stint on national television. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same for his former co-host Brian Dunkleman.

TMZ took the liberty to reveal Dunkleman’s current occupation while reporting on details of his tumultuous divorce. The network reports that financial documents filed show Dunkleman’s occupation as an “Uber driver.

According to TMZ, he began working as a ride-share driver in 2016, where he said he works about 45 hours a week and earns around $800 a week.

All we have to say is there’s absolutely nothing wrong with an honest job and doing what’s best for you and your family.
