Longtime newscaster Carl Kasell, the beloved "voicemail, ' judge and scorekeeper of NPR's 'Wait, Wait..."
He got his start as a late-night music DJ on a local station at just 16, and helped launch the WUNC station at the University of North Carolina with fellow student Charles Kuralt, who went on to have a successful career as a journalist with CBS. "But, as I told them, 'Carl will be the Rock of Gibraltar in NPR's newscast unit".

With a small budget, one of the prizes offered winners on the show was to have Kasell record the message for their answering machine or voice mail. He was urged by Griffith to pursue theater but Kasell fell in love with radio.
Carl Kasell, whose iconic voice delivered NPR news broadcasts to generations of listeners, died on Tuesday in Potomac, Maryland. "He was, and remains, the heart and soul of our show". A man who knew gravitas and goofiness could live as neighbors and co-conspirators.
