Kerri Kasem (born July 12, 1972 in Los Angeles, California) is a radio and television host, actress, and cover model. She has appeared in pictorials for such publications as Maxim and FHM.
Kerri is the daughter of the radio disc jockey/radio and TV show host Casey Kasem of the 1980's syndicated TV program America's Top 10 and its syndicated radio counterpart, American Top 40; and his first wife, Linda Myers Kasem, a United States Republican Party fund raiser. As a personality, producer and writer, she has made her mark all across radio and television. She grew up in the Kasems' Hollywood home with her brother Mike and sister Julie, with whom she organized and "directed" plays for the family throughout their childhood. Kasem graduated from the Academy of Radio Broadcasting as well as the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She jump-started her television career as an MTV video jockey in Asia. She made her big screen acting debut in the 1994 feature L.A. Wars, then appeared in the 1997 film James Dean: Race with Destiny. In 1998, Kerri appeared on both the television series Acapulco H.E.A.T. and MTV's My Generation. She also had a part in the 2001 feature My Life As a Troll.
Kasem can be heard on the syndicated Premiere show Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx 5 days a week from 7pm to 12am and weekends with The Sideshow Countdown. Besides anchoring her own show, The Kerri Kasem Podcast, Kerri showcased her love of motorcycles as co-host of Racing Rocks with Riki Rachtman, for almost 7 years. She also helps dish out real estate advice as host of the syndicated The Mortgage Radio Show.
Kerri was a reporter/host on E!, is a host on UFC, and a host on SiTV's The Rub. In 2003, Kerri was a contestant on the ESPN reality show Beg, Borrow & Deal. Along with her TV shows Kerri worked on radio shows such as; "Racing Rocks," syndicated on over 120 stations; the National Lampoon Comedy Countdown, The Solomon Free Money Hour, Pet Talk, and as co-host to Alan Stock on KXNT 840 AM in Las Vegas, Nevada for a morning radio talk show from 5am-9am US Pacific Time weekdays (KXNT.COM). She left KXNT in August 2007 for TV and radio in Los Angeles.
Kasem was picked as a co-host for the Premiere Radio Networks shows Sixx Sense and The Side Show Countdown, alongside famous bass guitarist Nikki Sixx, which began in early 2010. In doing so, she effectively follows in her father Casey's footsteps, as Casey's countdown shows were also syndicated through Premiere until his retirement in July 2009.
