Casey Kasem has been counting down musical hits for millions of fans for the last 25 years. Currently he can be heard on "Casey's Top 40 with Casey Kasem," "Casey's Countdown," "Casey's Hot 20" and his five minute program, "Casey's Biggest Hits." His trademark trivia teasers -- which he developed in 1954 -- are now a familiar part of "American Top 40" and are a standard in the radio industry. Young Kemal Amen Kasem, the son of Lebanese Druze parents, dreamed of becoming a baseball player but instead wound up a high school sports announcer. His easy going style and crackling voice has since taken him to the very top of his profession. Over the years, he's done countless voiceovers for commercials and cartoons, has made guest appearances on dozens of television shows, has hosted many specials including the Annual American Video Awards and his own televised musical countdowns, and has cohosted Jerry Lewis' Labor Day Telethon since 1981.
