And they also said what debuted and what fell off ...and they were radio professionals... Bob Eubanks and Wink Martindale was DJs b4 their game show careers... For, almost, all of Casey's original run, as well as his Casey's Top 40 run and the 98-04 AT40 revival, Casey's guest hosts were pros in the business, much like himself. It wasn't until the late 80's that we started seeing "celebrity" guest hosts. This was, largely, during Shadoe Stevens' tenure as host. Even then, those guest hosts were fully engaged in the show that they were hosting. Ryan's guests are just phoning it in, most of the time.

Jokes about the guest host not being Ryan Seacrest and about where Ryan is. What joke did she make about Ryan not being there?

I agree about Ryan phoning it inβ¦I always got the feeling AT40 is cobbled together from on air segments for the most part

But in the greater scheme of things we the fans of AT 40 and CT 40 prefer LONGEVITY. Casey's tenure was from what- 1970- 2004?? I hope Seacrest's run is that long; I consider him the true successor to what Casey created [sorry Shadoe Stevens]. Did anyone notice that both versions of AT 40 had DIFFERENT guest hosts this weekend? When was the last time that happened? Why did that happen? The Hot AC version had Pat Monahan of Train and he was KILLING IT. He was funny, witty, intelligent and had gravitas. I was impressed. He used to have his own show on SiriusXM- maybe that is why.

I do like how Ryan gives information about some songs and the artist about how the songs came about, like he did with The Joker and the Queen last week.I also like when he says breaking into the top 10
