Other roles
Apart from his work in animation, Kasem was also a popular radio disc jockey. He was the co-creator and host for the American Top 40 countdown; starting from its original run in 1970 to 1988, and then its revival from 1998 up until his retirement in 2009. In between the show's hiatus, he hosted Casey's Top 40 from 1989 to 1998. He also founded the American Video Awards in 1983, and continued to co-produce and host it until its final show in 1987.
Behind the scenes
- In season two of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Shaggy became a vegetarian out of request of Kasem, who became a vegetarian around this time (and then later a vegan). Kasem had briefly quit his role in 1995, after he was requested to do a Burger King commercial with his character. Seven years later in What's New, Scooby-Doo?, he returned to it when the producers agreed to make Shaggy a vegetarian once more.[1][2]
