Bob & Tom Cast

Bob Kevoian

 

Bob was born in Los Angeles, California in 1950. He's a 1973 graduate of Long Beach State University.

 

Bob traveled extensively with "The Young Americans" theater group before beginning his radio career in Michigan in 1979. In early 1983, Bob and his partner Tom Griswold established "The BOB & TOM Show." This comedy-based early morning program is among the highest rated in American radio and has been nationally syndicated since 1995.

 

BOB & TOM were recognized for their achievements in 1993, '95, '97, '99 and now 2006 by winning the prestigious Marconi Award presented by the National Association of Broadcasters. Our morning show hosts were the recipients of this year’s National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award for Top Syndicated Personality of the Year and the Radio & Records (R&R) award for Classic Rock Personality/Show of the Year and National Personality/Show of the Year for the classic rock format at the Annual NAB convention. This is BOB&TOM's fifth Marconi award and eighth R&R award.

 

From '91 to '98 BOB & TOM repeatedly received "The Billboard Magazine Radio Personality of the Year" award and in 1996, BOB & TOM were awarded the National Chairman's Citation Award from the Leukemia Society of America for their fund/awareness raising efforts for the Leukemia Society.

 

BOB & TOM are not only recognized for their comedy, they're also well known for their charitable work. Their 30-plus comedy albums have generated millions of dollars which they have donated to various local charities.

 

Tom Griswold

 


Tommy G. was born in Cleveland, OH in 1953. He's a 1971 graduate of University School in Chagrin Fall, OH and a graduate of Columbia University. Tom began working in radio down in Florida and later moved to Michigan before teaming up with Bob in early 1983.

 

Together, they established "The BOB & TOM Show." This comedy-based early morning program is among the highest rated in American radio and has been nationally syndicated since 1995.

 

BOB & TOM were recognized for their achievements in 1993, '95, '97 and '99 by winning the prestigious Marconi Award presented by the National Association of Broadcasters. This made The BOB&TOM Show the only program to become a four time winner of this award.

 

BOB & TOM are not only recognized for comedy, they're also well known for their charitable work. Their 30-plus comedy albums have generated millions of dollars which they have donated to various local charities.

 

Tom also has produced recordings for comedians Heywood Banks, Rodney Carrington, Paul Gilmartin, Sean Morey, Tim Wilson as well as BOB & TOM Band musical director, Steve Allee.

 

 

Kristi Lee

 

The lovely Kristi Lee is not only the prettiest face in the studio, and usually the voice of reason, she's also the News Director of the nationally syndicated BOB & TOM Show. Although she tries her best each and every morning, the boys rarely, if ever, allow her to finish a full news cast before jumping in and turning the headlines into punchlines. Kristi can get in her share of one-liners as well, and has always been a good sport since joining the show back in the early days.

 

 

 

 

Chick McGee

 

The legendary Chick McGee may be moody, and some may question his work ethic, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone with better comedic timing or possessing a more dramatic announcer voice. Chick is married to his "current" wife Cathi, who has been featured on numerous bits, most notably "The Nagigator." Though he's often the punchline of BOB & TOM's jokes, he proved his loyalty to the show after some recent heart troubles. Tom bet that Chick wouldn't have open heart surgery "for the show", but in '97, Chick underwent double-bypass surgery and Tom was forced to pay off the $5.00 bet. Chick's attraction to Bob is well known, if not entirely understood. By the way, Chick is also the Sports Director for the BOB & TOM Show.

 

 

 

 

Dean Metcalf - Producer

 

Dean Metcalf is one of the most versatile players on the BOB & TOM Show staff. Dean not only produces the BOB & TOM radio show (which is no small feat - size 12's as a matter of fact!), but he is also the lead guitar player in The Electric Amish, and provides the voices for a number of our most beloved call in characters including The Pope, Jumbo the Elephant and Bill, the guy with a woman trapped in a pit. Dean is also an accomplished guitar player, although he'll lie and say he's not very good, he loves bluegrass music, and he is available for parties, receptions, and political rallies.
