The Friends of The Bob & Tom Show Comedy Tour is part of the Graham Automall 2014-2015 Renaissance Season, is presented by Shaw Ott Medical and MoCoopinz.com and is sponsored by My Town Partners and Goyal Industries, with support from the Ohio Arts council.
Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold originally teamed up in the early 1980s at the Petoskey, Michigan station WJML. In their current incarnation, they are joined on air by Chick McGee who acts as sports commentator as well as comic foil, and by Kristi Lee, who is the show’s news anchor and occasional target of the show’s humor. Dave “Gunner” Gunn also joins the show when any of the regulars are out, and has done so from the beginning of the show’s syndication in January 1995.
The show is a comedy-variety show. Each day, there are usually several guests on the show, including many comedians. During the show, live or pre-recorded comic songs and skits are often played, including many from a huge library of archived pieces. There are frequent impromptu “calls” from numerous characters voiced by various members of the show’s staff.
Bob and Tom ceased doing a traveling show of their own in 2003 now organize and support The Friends of The Bob & Tom Comedy Tour, which includes many of their frequent guests.
