Tom Leykis Calls KFI's John and Ken "Total Fucking Pussies" For Apologizing Over Their Whitney Houston "Crack Ho" Remark

• my other number is 916-3846628 

• Tom leykis is not normal. Tom  is a wife beater too. if you have questions call me @ 916 606-2539 just ask for me amy hunter

•  alex jone is a nazi who works for comrade obama.

• listening to his new show streaming right now. more nasty than ever. tom has finally found a place where he can truly speak his mind.

• Lest anyone doubt Leykis's vaunted fearsome machismo (Gustavo here apparently numbered among his pool boys) just take a listen on weekends to his hardcore uncensored *wine-tasting show* "My my does not this Zinfandel have the most delicious bouquet! Take me out w/ a bong hit, oohh yeah!!!"

• That's not quickly dude, that was a great show but it ended 18 years ago. How Tom went from that to the crap he barfed out on his last show made me lose all respect for the guy. The fact that Tom's later show for undersexed morons and John and Kens current show are/were both hugely successful and Rush's show went national while Tom's original political KFI show was cancelled says a lot about the stupidity of the American public or the Corporate controllers of the airwaves desire to keep them that way.

• You're an idiot! I'm sure you know that though.

• Why would anyone bother taping your show? Sorry, I mean the show you used to have. I'm a musician who lives in Hollywoos Tom ( and met you once at Barney's Beanery and once at a party). If you are straight, so is Micheal Bachman's husband. Definitely the most effeminate "ultra straight" guy I've ever met. So what is it, self-hating gay?

• I've met him him twice in person. The guy is clearly a gay man, so it is quite strange, his hatred for women, and his leykis 101 bs.

• Well said.

• Leykis is an idiot who can't get sex without paying for it and panders to the lowest common denominator and John and Ken are just idiots. So at least they have that in common.

• As much as I hated the apology, does ANY serious John & Ken fan (I am one) really want them to get FIRED?  That is exactly what would have happened had they not done it. As for Leykis, I like him.  I listened to him at both KFI and KLSX.  His firing at either station was not his fault.  KFI simply wanted to go in a new direction.  KLSX did as well....

• She probably deserved a good ass beating!...what do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes? Nothing! She has already been told twice!!

• Apparently there is an unwritten rule that white males are not allowed to refer to black woman as "hos".   For example, "nappy-headed hos", "crack hos", etc.The ignorant minions of John and Ken quickly forget that Leykis had one of the best political shows in LA before changing his format to its modern form.  Like their minions, John & Ken are completely ignorant and just stir up topics without knowing most of the facts.   It is shock radio with a political slant.  They were right calling Whitney a crack ho and should have stood their ground.

• Pinche pocho, no sabe lo que esta hablando.. Blah blah blah.

• 1.1 million listeners each and every day. readers of OC weekly? 9.6 laughable. 

• I believe it's because Tom is still under contract. The morons at CBS fired him even though they still have to continue PAYING him a 6 figure salary. Nothing like getting paid a 6 figure salary to relax on vacation for years. Kind of like the NY school teacher's "rubber room" but on a grander scale!

• Thank you Tom for speaking out the truth. The suspension of John and Ken was GREAT advertising for the Tom Leykis show!!!!!

• Aka Lesbian

• I want to hear them.  But they are no surprise.

• How about i just prove you are a wife beater?

• I can produce a tape that proves Tom is a big fat moron.

• Why didn't Leykis follow Howard Stern to Sirius? I thought Don Buchwald was also Tom's agent.

• Darren.,,,you might want to look at the radio ratings again, both J&K and Handel (and even Conway BEAT the syndicated fare on KFI.  Rush's ratings in the LA market are in some cases half of what J&K do.  Syndicated fare is not bolstering the ratings at KFI, why do you think they dropped Dr. Laura?

• How many listeners?

• Why is whitney houston above being critisized?  She was in fact a boozing druggie!  She was nothing but an entertainer, NOTHING MORE!  Blew through millions and left a kid alone.  GEEEEZ!  Yet a molecular biology student doing post grad work at a UC is eating Ramen noodles for dinner 3 days a week.  Are you people sick in the head or something! 

• Hey, I'm a liberal, feminist, pro-gay-rights, card-carrying-member-of-the-ACLU Democrat, and I *LUV* John & Ken.

• Leykis's comments were hardly "cruel."  He made an entirely rational statement that the woman had a inherited genetic disorder that she had a strong possibility (or was it a certainty) of passing on to her children, and questioned whether or not it was a selfish decision to have biological children knowing of this possibility.  This is the type of question that is discussed in medical ethics every day: does a person have a moral right to procreate knowing that his or her child has a high risk of being born with a serious disease or deformity? In fact, both of her children inherited her ectrodactyly. BTW, Oprah Winfrey made similar comments.  Does anyone remember Winfrey getting attacked for it?

• Could we possibly use a term other than "pussy"? I detest JohnKen too...but I don't think it's productive to keep hurling an insult at them that slurs women as well. Whatever happened to "cowardly" or even "chickenshit" for example? I find it ironic the term "pussy" is being tossed around so freely considering you're all so pissed at JohnKen for defaming Whitney Houston (a woman) in the first place. Just something to think about. John and Ken can still go to hell! :-)

• English, please: ENGLISH.

• Pretty interesting comment that "he was right on about dating and marriage. Lykis beats up his wife, threatens to kill her and that, according to you, is a role model for dating and marriage? Huh?

• Not even close. Lykis couldn't empty Sam's trash. Don't bring Sam into this.

• Deluded? Not at all. John and Ken have a HUGE following and nothing written in  this article is going to have an effect on that. one point one million daily listeners, largest non syndicated audience in America and building every. Is it true Lykis liked to punch his wife? Funny...nothing was said about that....HHHmmm........

• The best part of this story BY FAR is how it demonstrates how Pathetic our boy GUS is.  He has been trying for years to get scare of John and Kens advertisors like the little pathetic Weiner he is.  To zero avail.  Yet they call Whitney Houston a crack ho and BOOM there off.  Haha.  Nice Lobby youve got GUS.  Nice reality check buddy.  Keep plugging away with those Azatlan dreams. 

•  STALKER ALERT. Be careful commenters. Chmielewski is among the creepiest, he'll look you up and stalk you. Send you unwanted packages, call your wife and kids. CREEPY.  

• Tom worked for RKO radio in Boston when I lived there.  I remember he was arrested for beating up his wife after the station Christmas Party.  I think it was his second or third wife.  Here's the link from TheSmoking Gun:  http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/abuse-rap-dj-who-named-kobes-accuser

• ftp://ftp.fcc.gov/pub/Bureaus/Mass_Media/Databases/documents_collection/da92-179.pdf Re the comments about Tom and Bree Walker.  In 1991, Tom (at KFI) and another KFI host, Jane Norris, made comments about Bree Walker's deformity.  Walker and several handicapped advocacy organizations filed a formal complaint with the FCC.  The FCC denied the complaint and threw out the case.  See link above.

• ftp://ftp.fcc.gov/pub/Bureaus/Mass_Media/Databases/documents_collection/da92-179.pdf Re the comments about Tom and Bree Walker.  After Tom and another KFI host (Jane Norris) commented on her deformity in 1991, Bree Walker filed a formal complaint against KFI with the FCC.  The FCC denied and threw out her complaint.  See link above.

• largest none sydicated radio audience in the country.  OOPS.

• Umm...with all due respect. Are you sure this entire argument isn't based on the fact that KFI is obviously a radio station for republicans and OC Weekly is; while not strictly for democrats, most certainly leans that way? C'mon it's the elephant in the room and we all know it.

• tom stole kinisons act

• tom stole kinisons act

• Wow, the JohnKen nation and their hard-on for their boys is laughable. JohnKen are the height of "cruel comments," and that you can't see that just shows how deluded the JohnKen audience truly is...

• What did it prove other than to show the cruel nature of the individual to comment about Bree Walker. Here a person with a horrible deformity overcame that and went on to do good things with her life. How many with that affliction would put themselves in the public eye and not skip a beat. So here comes Lykis with some cruel comments for what? Shame on you. I guess when your target audience is teenagers and twenty year olds who think it's funny to be cruel what can be expected. Good luck with your new adventure, kind of like putting lipstick on a pig or painting a turd...

•  If that's the real Tom Leykis, then he's good for the money, so prove your claims..

• Amusing, the statement saying John and Kens suspension as the "big media story of the week" . I haven't heard about it anywhere other than from KFI"s other hosts.   Boycotts. They don't work, especially not with their show. Sponsors drop serious coin to get to the 1.1million listeners. Most sponsors see great results and come back for more.  How many Hollywood types get caught with their pants down, folks think they will not work again and then another movie comes out with their raggedy ass on there. People forget, this incident will be forgotten and if anything will boost their ratings even higher. Watch. John and Ken will continue, the jealous will be even more jealous and continue with name calling and the beat will go on. Another day in ( good)  talk radio.

• Ahem....ALEX JONES!!!

• They forgot to say she was a hype also.

• People are tuning out these fake-ass motherf*ckers for real talk, and you'll get that on the internet. Better to be real than to be a brown-nosing pussy!

• I remember that too.   Tom choking up as he wet himself and said he was sorry.

• I challenge you to prove that. I NEVER apologized for talking about Bree Walker's lobster claws. EVER. I will pay you $100,000 for a tape of that apology. Now: produce it.

• Leykis is a know nothing fag.  He is just a HOWARD STERN wannabe.  Before he tried that he would just make fun of lobster clawed newscaster (I remember him apolgizing like a cry baby bitch after that).  He is a loser as for his millions HAHA.

• All these Leykis haters are just a bunch of Pussies who now hate Tom because they know that he was right on the money when it came to dating and marriage! You pathetic little cunts are a joke and I bet whatever skank you are with has you by the balls! LOL! Keep hating you Twats! As for a comeback, Tom doesn't even have to do anything anymore, he could have begun full retirement the day 97.1 was reformatted! He made millions of dollars already, so it doesn't really matter anymore if he gets the audience he used to get, he can buy and sell every single one of you little Cunts six times over between now and sunday! LEYKIS 101 all the way baby! FUCK THESE PUSSY HATERS!

• Karma is a bitch, and theirs 2 of them, you say? Till someone dies, for real, these, telling it like it is guys will make money~ wild wild wild west is coming~zippppp

• Pussies!

• John and Ken, one point one million listeners every day. When Lykis falls flat on his face(again) the thud won't be heard because no one listens. Lykis is trying to latch on to a story with support from the haters of a sucessful talk show. John and Ken raised tons of money for charity, yeah that's a bad thing. As far as Lykis's followers? Who? Where? Demographics? Who? . Doesn't matter how long his contract with himself is, Lykis is laughable. 

• Tom Leykis has been paid full his 7 figure annual salary since CBS decided to reformat. Also, if you look at satellite radio's ratings before Howard Stern, you would've said the same thing that you do about internet radio now, and how nobody listens. Leykis has an extraordinarily loyal following who aren't the "know nothing" racists which John and Ken appeal to. "Tehehehe he just called her a 'crack ho?'"

• You're probably a disgruntled woman he's "offended" somehow by telling the truth about you?

• Larger audience than Tom? How'd that syndication experiment work with JohnKen? That's right: they failed. Laughably.

• Old white men on AM radio.  What a joke.

• Mope from station to station?  He can't even get on the air.  At this point, he's been reduced to Internet radio which has about 1/1,000th the audience of terrestrial air.  Read his Twitter; all he does is claim "radio is dead."  Interestingly enough, if that were the case, then Clear Channel wouldn't be able to offer me literally 1/6,000th the amount of money to run the same length ad on the same time slots the same number of times for their IHeartRadio stream as they can over their same broadcast stations. I actually read the Arbitron ratings and outside of CBS's Internet content on Yahoo! Music, AOL Music and that whatever-dot-fm website they have, nobody on the Internet is pulling Millions of listeners.  That is a fact, period. KFI's audience, bolstered by syndicating SUCCESSFUL national syndicated radio hosts is what is paying their bills.  Whether you like his content or not, CBS didn't throw the whole FM talk model in the trash because it was doing so well.  It was a one-trick pony and they knew for a fact they could do better and pay A LOT less for it. As to the original story?  That's absolutely right.  Is Leykis going to step up and pay these guys' mortgage, car notes, utility bills and whatever else if Clear Channel tells these guys to walk the plank?  Absolutely not.  And sorry, a guest spot on a podcast with 5,000 listeners to complain about being fired from a successful, steady day-time radio gig is hardly worth it. Tom Leykis has made his millions.  He can sit from his Santa Barbara ranch and call anyone he likes a pussy.  The fact remains the rest of the people still left in that business still need to earn a regular pay check and if you've got to do what you're told with a gun to your head, it doesn't make you a pussy.  It makes you fucking pragmatic.  Nobody is going to care if you "stood your ground" behind a crass opinion while you have to explain to your family, your colleagues, your spouse that you lost your job because you were an idiot and/or an a-hole on the air.  You suck it up, like when Kobe Bryant called that ref. a fa-you-know-what, and keep your damn job in return.

• Usually when the name calling starts you have nothing else. it shows how ignorant you really are. I know exactly how ratings work. Having said what they said and then being told by their employer to apologize, would you throw away their paycheck to make a point that no one really cares about? I mean what do you guess they get paid? Half a mill? 3/4 mill a year? And Lykis? Hundred thou, maybe two? Tom's foul mouth got him where he is today, NO WHERE. Ask around, drop Tom"s name. People look at you like deer in the headlights. LMAO. In a week or two , actually already, no one will care what was said and by whom. John and Ken will continue to dominate the air waves, Tom will continue to mope from station to station. No brainer Dude, get with the program. 

• Christ, what an asshole. Does anyone know what made Leykis go insane in the late 80s and go into full-time misogyny? He was kinda funny before that. 

• of course this shows how much you know about ratings. Dumbass

• Tom Lykis. I remember when Tom was let go from KFI and i cannot remember anyone with a complaint. Tom"s show consisted of high school type criticism's and boring speeches that lacked any substance. Tom"s show and Tom himself lack basic knowledge of political issues and has done nothing, nothing, compared to the John and Ken show. Like John and Ken or not you cannot dispute their relentless efforts at the truth. John can be a dick however deep inside they have done more, have more followers and a larger audience than Lykis ever dreamed of. As usual, it's sour grapes for Tom, still looking to somehow boost his personality but not to worry, plenty of impressionable high schoolers coming up to support Tom's style. The bottom line is this, ratings increase revenue. A radio station is in it to make money, sponsors want their product sold and what does Tom have to promote? NADA. 

• Fuck Yeah! They are fucking pussies for apologizing because they spoke what everyone knows to be true!
