Ryan and Casey

News broke yesterday that Ryan Seacrest has signed a deal to become a special correspondent for NBC’s Today show.  Interestingly enough, yesterday also happened to be a milestone birthday for Seacrest’s predecessor in one of his other jobs.  Casey Kasem, who originated American Top 40, which now features Ryan Seacrest, celebrated birthday number 80 yesterday.

Check out the clip above, in which Seacrest references Kasem while talking about the first time he hosted AT40.
