A Fond Farewell

77-year-old Casey Kasem has stepped down from hosting the American Top 20 and American Top 10 radio shows.

Kasem launched his weekly American Top 40 show in 1970, which Ryan Seacrest took over while Kasem went on to host his spinoffs.

Casey’s last show was this past weekend.

Kasem said that he “loved every minute” of radio work, but that he’s moving on to “free up time I need to focus on myriad other projects.”

Enjoy your time off!

Thanks for the memories.
