Rick Dees is an internationally known DJ, entertainer and comedian.

He hosts the morning show at Movin' 93.9 in Los Angeles and will be guest-starring on The Young and the Restless later this fall.

The DJ spoke about the stint in a recent interview:

How did this role come about?
This is exciting. You know what happened was that we were talking on the radio on Movin' 93.9 and someone said 'If you were going to be a guest on a show, that runs now, which show would it be' and I said 'Not only does it run now but it has been on the air for more then 30 years and that would be The Young and the Restless.

They have done more than 9000 episodes and counting. So if I could pick a show that would be it. Everybody was on board so we said let's go through the process. We went to the casting director. We went to the promotions and publicity department and we went to The Young and the Restless.com and finally we got a hit.
