Bob Kevoian of the 'Bob & Tom Show' Dies at 75

Kevoian helped build the syndicated radio show into a long-running hit and retired in 2015 after more than three decades on air.

  • On Friday, April 17, Bob Kevoian, co-founder of 'The Bob & Tom Show,' died at 75 after a three-year cancer battle. He passed away peacefully at his home.
  • Kevoian launched the program in 1983 alongside Tom Griswold in Indianapolis, building it into a nationally syndicated broadcast heard in more than 100 cities. The duo earned induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2015.
  • Following his 2015 retirement, Kevoian and his wife, Becky Kevoian, collaborated with best friend Whit Grayson on 'The Bob & Cancer Show.' The podcast aimed "to provide help and support to others in similar circumstances."
  • "Bob was a pioneering force in American radio," the show said in a release, highlighting his role building one of broadcasting's most successful syndicated programs. Griswold recalled Kevoian viewed their work as "a conversation between two friends not heard, but overheard."
  • Details regarding memorial services will be shared at a later time. Kevoian is survived by his wife, Becky, and remembered for his distinctive wit, including celebrating his mustache's 54th birthday in 2023.
