Early ‘Bob & Tom’ cast members set holiday reunion

If you're looking for a gift for the "Bob & Tom Show" fan in your life, Kristi Lee has you covered.

"Bob & Tom" news director Lee is gathering five alumni of the show, including retired co-founder Bob Kevoian, for a live edition of her "Kristi Lee Uninterrupted" podcast Dec. 21 at Morty's Comedy Joint.

Billed as a "Dysfunctional Holiday" show, the event will feature onstage appearances by Kevoian, Jimmy "Mad Dog" Matis, Mark Patrick, Jay Baker and Whit Grayson.

"I am excited to bring a part of my radio family to Morty's for a night full of stories, laughter and holiday cheer," Lee said.

Tickets for the 7:15 p.m. show, $20, are available at MortysComedy.com.

Kevoian made his final appearance on "The Bob & Tom Show" on Dec. 17, 2015. In retirement, he entertains nearly 90,000 Twitter followers with social-media quips.

Tom Griswold and Kevoian launched "The Bob & Tom Show" at WFBQ-FM (94.7) on March 7, 1983. The duo came to Indianapolis from a station in Petoskey, Mich., where DJ Kevoian brought on Griswold as his newsman sidekick.

The duo hired Lee in 1984. She's heard weekdays on "The Bob & Tom Show," alongside Griswold and fellow cast members Chick McGee and Josh Arnold. The syndicated show is heard on more than 100 radio stations.
