Casey Kasem
Kemal Amin Kasem, professionally known as Casey Kasem (born April 27, 1932), is a Lebanese American radio personality and voice actor. He is perhaps best known as the voice of "Shaggy" in the Scooby-Doo cartoons, and for hosting the weekly American Top 40 radio program from 1970 to 1988, and again from the late 1990s. He also hosted a TV show called America's Top 10 for a time in the 1980s.
Kasem was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1992.
Rehersal recordings of a frustrated Kasem in an extended profane rant appeared on Negativland's single "U2 ".
