Tom Griswold

Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold began their on-air partnership in 1981, hosting mornings in Michigan at WJML-AM in Petoskey. In 1983, they joined WFBQ-FM in Indianapolis as the station’s morning team. Once there, The Bob & Tom Show became the city’s top-rated morning show. The Bob & Tom Show has offered an unpredictable blend of news from Kristi Lee, sports from Chick McGee, talk, celebrity guests, in-studio musical performances, sketch comedy and topical, sometimes irreverent, humor. The Bob & Tom Show is recognized for giving national exposure to young and developing comedians including George Lopez, Brad Garrett, Tim Allen and Rodney Carrington. In 1995, The Bob & Tom Show began national syndication. The show has been heard on more than 400 stations nationwide and The American Forces Radio Network. The show has won over twenty major industry awards, including five Marconi Awards from The National Association of Broadcasters, and the show has released more than 60 comedy albums.

Kevoian and Griswold were inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2016.
