American Idol and America's Top 40 host Ryan Seacrest has revealed that not did he used to pretend to be Casey Kasem, but that he blames ex-NFL football player and ABC Live! With Kelly & Michael host Michael Strahan for taking all the entertainment industry's jobs. The impossibly-white toothed star also gushed about this year's crop of American Idols, and talked about how much he loves Idol judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. Seacrest also revealed that the American Idol crew uncovered a Jimmy Fallon lookalike on last week's show!

On The Tonight Show with Fallon. Seacrest revealed he used to "pretend to be Casey Kasem" and was "such a radio geek" that he would set up a radio shack mixer in his bedroom and make tapes pretending to be the iconic America's Top 40 host.

And, it turns out, Seacrest loved Paula Abdul and Tony! Toni Tone!

The pair talked about hosting the Top 40 show, with Seacrest putting on a pretty amazing Casey Kasem impression -- and got Fallon to do his, which was pretty excellent -- and joked about Seacrest having too many jobs.

Seacrest, however, doesn't agree and adds that he feels like he should be doing more, but because Michael Strahan is now taking all the jobs, "he's starting to get under my skin a little bit," laughed Seacrest. "That's my whole thing, that's my niche."

The two also chatted about Seacrest's Golden Globe's broadcast which involved drama with steps and a selfie stick, and about this season of American Idol, as well as the judges, Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. "They're so good, so charming, and more people are watching each week, so we're super psyched about that."

Seacrest then pointed out that in last week's show, the American Idol crew discvoered a Jimmy Fallon lookalile. Check out the clip below:

Seacrest and Fallon also took on Empire star Taraji P Henson and Tariq from The Roots in a game of Charades. The American Idol host came up with some ingenious acting, as did Empire's very own Cookie Lyon. Watch it below:
