From season 3 of Switch:
Casey Kasem guest stars as a movie producer who hires detectives Frank McBride (Eddie Albert, ex-Green Acres) and Pete Ryan (Robert Wagner, ex-It Takes a Thief) to find out who's trying to kill one of his top stars. Andrew Duggan (ex-Lancer) also appears in "Fade Out":
This was the same season where producer Glen A. Larson had Casey rent a certain rumpled trenchcoat to play a Columbo impersonator on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries over on ABC, which we've previously covered. Larson's background in the music business would explain any professional relationship he had with Casey, and we wonder if Casey plugged this episode on American Top 40........

@Hobbyfan: I bought a copy of Pete Battistini's book American Top 40 (The 1970s) and it's companion book American Top 40 (The 1980s) a few years back on Amazon, and according to it, this episode was plugged on AT40 the week of October 8th, 1977.
Unfortunately, Casey was off that week, as guest host Mark Elliott was the one who promoted Casey's appearance...
Which says Casey was not one to toot his own horn.......
