Howard Stern challenges the late Casey Kasem in his Ice Bucket Challenge
Radio host and provocateur Howard Stern accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge from Jennifer Aniston and Matt Lauer on Monday and extended the challenge to Casey Kasem.
Of course, Kasem -- a radio legend most famous for his Top 40 countdown -- died this June after a battle with dementia.
In the video, a shirtless Stern took a piece of ice from a bucket and placed it in a shot glass, then poured it over his head and jiggled wildly.
The late Kasem is certainly a questionable choice, though I'm inclined to think it was more of a perverse homage than disrespect.
After he passed, Stern spoke fondy about Kasem's body of work.
"He had an amazing career," Stern said. "Amazing career. How many guys in radio wouldn't give a left arm to have a career like Casey?"
"I couldn't help but envy the guy," Stern continued. "Honestly. How could you not envy that career? He was very successful. And I feel very bad for his children."
Someone on Twitter pointed out to Stern that Kasem had died, prompting this response.
Right Steve, next time i'll think it through. rt @stevehendley gonna be kinda hard for Casey kasem to do it seeing how he's dead
