Ryan Seacrest hasn't jumped the shark. But he may be wishing he had.

During his KIIS-FM morning program Monday, the E! News host talks about his slight run-in over the weekend with a little marine life. (Listen to the discussion here.)

"I was bitten by a shark," recalls Ryan. "It swam up to me, and it took a bite, and then he left."

According to Ryan, the predator was the size of a cat and the incident took place offshore in water about 4 feet deep—with the shark leaving behind "three holes" in his toe.

"Don't let me fool you by my unbelievably comfortable state of being on the air right now, because I'm in pain."

Proof positive that nothing—even a fanged fish—can keep our man down.
