Thomas Joseph Leykis (born August 1, 1956 in New York, New York) is a radio talk show host, syndicated nationally and internationally (USA and formerly in Canada) by Westwood One.

Radio career

---

As a teenager in 1970, Leykis won a contest for a one-time radio appearance on a station in Long Island, and he was asked back several times to serve as a fill-in host. He got a regular job hosting Sunday mornings at another station in 1979. He moved to Albany in 1981 to do an evening show five times a week. The station wanted someone controversial, and Leykis was just that. Some listeners sent in angry letters, but his ratings soon earned him the morning drive slot and a position as program director. He then took a job in Miami where he became number one in the ratings in 1984, over a competing host who had been number one for the previous six years. Leykis subsequently did local shows in Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Boston.
