The Tom Leykis Show : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tom Leykis
Thomas Joseph "Tom" Leykis (pronounced: ;〔 born August 1, 1956) is an American talk radio personality best known for hosting ''The Tom Leykis Show'' from 1994 to 2009 (nationally syndicated), and April 2012 to the present (internet streamcast/podcast). The show follows the hot talk format, which brought Leykis much success,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heavy Hundred 2008 )〕 particularly in the Southern California radio market.〔 Due to the provocative nature of the show, Leykis has often been described as a shock jock.〔〔〔〔 The show's best-known feature is "Leykis 101", in which he purports to teach men "how to get laid" while spending the least amount of time, money, and effort. He is also the host of ''The Tasting Room with Tom Leykis'', a most-weekly lifestyle program dealing with fine food and drink, airing weekends mainly in West Coast markets. ==Early life== Tom Leykis was born August 1, 1956, at a time when his parents, Harry and Laura (née O'Mara),〔Newsday (November 24, 1998) ''Obituaries: Laura G. (nee O'Mara) Leykis'' Section: News; Page A60.〕 lived in the Bronx.〔New York Daily News (October 9, 1995) ''(Obituary: Harry Leykis )'' Section: News; Page 28.〕 Leykis spent his early childhood in The Bronx,〔 New York City, New York and has two sisters (Terry, Anne) and a brother (Jim). His grandfather, who originated in Kiev, Ukraine, emigrated to Lithuania and later to the United States at the turn of the 20th century presumably to escape the historical anti-Semitic pogroms in the Russian Empire. Tom Leykis has repeatedly stated that his lineage is irrelevant to his life and his accomplishments in the radio business. His father was a union leader at ''The New York Post''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://w3.newsmax.com/talkradio/detail.cfm?id=25 )〕 At a point in Leykis' childhood, he moved with his family to Selden, Long Island, where he completed high school and graduated at 16〔 from Newfield High School. He then moved away from the family home to study broadcasting at Fordham University and dropped out due to financial issues.
