Dwight York
"I hope you like jokes" may seem an absurd way for a comedian to begin a show but those are the words that comedian Dwight York uses to introduce himself to his audience each night. Then the joke-slinging begins and never ends until York says "goodnight" a couple hundred perfect one-liners later.
During the first of many appearances on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Network, York joked, "I was homeless for awhile. I didn't want anyone to know so I slept in front of a Ticket Master." It sent the morning crew howling with delight, became Tom Griswold's "new favorite joke" and was featured on The Bob And Tom CD You Guys Rock. Since then York has been a regular guest on the show and was part of the 2005 "Friends of Bob and Tom Show" concert tour.
