I'm surprised I haven't seen a thread on this yet.  I assume there are a few Bob & Tom fans here and enjoy the comedy of Ron Sexton.

If you've never listened to the Bob & Tom Show on the radio then you probably wouldn't know him.  I would say he's been one of the most popular comedians the last 10 years or so though.

One of my favorite shorts from him.

I wonder if he had been sick for a while. I hadn't seen many new clips on his IG lately.

This is SADS news. It's terrible when someone dies suddenly from unknown causes.

What is the Bob and Tom show ? Local ? On XM ?

It's a national comedy radio show that's on in the mornings.  Pretty much every major comedian has been on their show and done their tours.

Originated in Indianapolis in the 1980s.  Back then, they really pushed the envelope.  When they went national, they toned down a ton.  Tom is no longer part of the show and overall it’s a shadow of what it once was.

I guess it’s not on in the NY radio market

It brought the Funny in the 90's  and haven't listen to it much since. This one is a classic.

Grew up listening to Bob and Tom show. I believe it was Q95 FM around here. It was actually 94.7 but called Q95. If my memory is right.

You got Bob and Tom mixed up. Bob is no longer with the show. I believe he retired for health reasons.
