Thomas Joseph Leykis (pronounce: /LYE-kiss/; born August 1, 1956) is an American radio host. His Los Angeles-based hot talk show, The Tom Leykis Show, airs Monday through Friday and is syndicated throughout the United States by CBS Radio. The show's most well-known feature is "Leykis 101," in which he purports to teach men "how to get laid" while expending less time, money, and effort. Leykis also hosts The Tasting Room with Tom Leykis, a weekly lifestyle program dealing with fine food and drink. It airs on Saturday in many markets and, like Leykis's primary show, is syndicated by CBS Radio. Leykis has been described as a shock jock by many. His current success is largely due to his performance with the Hot Talk format.
