Such a rich experience, and I think we owe so much, to so many, principally Tom.
Here is a contribution. Please feel free to add more stanzas, refrains, etc.. There is so much to cover.

THE BEST SHOW
Prelude:
It's True! It's true! Big Tom has made it clear
The Best Show finally ends this year.
Stanzas:
A program started thirteen years ago here
providing mirth that no one could outgrow
with content that was always from the top tier
... was the Best Show.
This entertainment gave us laughs and mayhem
and characters that all would come to know
from podcasts, streaming and an FM station
... was the Best Show.
Refrain:
The Best Show! The Best Show!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre.
But on The Best Show! The Best Show!
That's how the callers are.
Stanzas:
Tom screened the calls so there was not a swear there
a call from Huntsville was simpatico
while Larry D. asked how you're doing d'ere, d'ere
... on the Best Show.
A wacky call from Newbridge did endear here
This town is not on any map you know
and AP Mike chi-koo's another beer here
... on the Best Show.
Refrain:
The Best Show! The Best Show!
It has gone on for thirteen years
but with The Best Show! The Best Show!
Its end will bring our tears.
Half-Stanza and End:
The final show will happen on this Tuesday
with memories and friends in-studio
... The show burned sweet and hot
... we were a joyous lot
for thirteen years of Tuesdays
gifted us with The Best Show.
Thanks Tom, Jon, Mike, and all
Dick from Edison
