Evidently,there are a ton of Casey Kasem aficionados across the country-Someone posted a lot of clips of Casey's old TV show "America's Top 10" on You Tube-Check them out if you get a chance-They're pretty awesome.

How did they make that prank call Scott? Did they use an outake of a recent tapping? Did Casey Kasem get involved with the prank call?

Obviously, I have no idea, as I don't work for Stern. But I'd imagine they had a bunch of pieces of Casey's voice pulled out of his programs. There's no way Casey would have participated in, nor otherwise endorsed, such a prank.

The clips currently up there from late 1988 are interesting as they're (I think) the only counting down Casey was doing at that time, after leaving AT40 and before Casey's Top 40 debuted.
Searching on "Casey Kasem" brings up a lot of AT10 (the 1980s/early 90s TV show, not his current radio one) clips, voiceover clips (in commercials, cartoons, etc.), as well as outtakes. These include various iterations of the "Dead Dog Dedication", the Negativland "U2" clip (is that legal?), and a recent blooper reel of Casey and Jeff "Casey" Grayson introducing a show for Fox 9/Minneapolis called "Plays Of Our Lives".

Casey was still hosting "America's Top 10" when "Casey's Top 40" premiered in January 1989-I remember announcer Charlie Tuna telling viewers to check out "CT40" on a station near them.

There's no way Casey would have participated in, nor otherwise endorsed, such a prank. no kiddin...... those are his tracks though. those could come from anywhere. maybe stern had those on hand from a time casey cut something for him..who knows.. a lot of radio automation software has what are called "hot keys" these are usually buttons tied to the keyboard or maybe buttons on a touch screen where someone can instantly hit a hot key tied to one of the voice tracks. like playing a piano, you can hit a key in response to someone on the other end of the phone, and voila, all of a sudden you're piecing a conversation together on the fly. you can actually get similar software for your home PC and play around with it that way. assign a wav file/track to one button or key and press it in response to someone on the phone. It beats using tape carts, but that's also a way to do it in the analog world. I've heard similar prank calls where instead of casey's voice, lines from movies, and particular actors, like joe peche were used. over the phone, you really have no idea who might be calling you on initial listening, so it can catch people. |
