Today is the 10th Anniversary of the Best Show!

[TheBrettster]

Ever since I stumbled upon the broadcast of a birthday party for a child named Petey on my radio, I have been hooked on the Best Show. I've turned so many friends onto the show, and I've made so many friends from the show. Tom, Jon, Mike and all of you FOTs that I've met over the years have all been insanely nice and supportive and great and I want to thank all of you for everything. If it weren't for the Best Show, I would have been a much different person than I am today. Tom rules.

P.S. Someday I will get the Sajak creedo tattooed on my neck.

To top it off, last night I got to meet Tom and while I was nervous as all hell, he was really nice and very funny and it was a really awesome experience. And that just speaks volumes about the guy and this show.

Where did you meet him, and did you ask him about the show's future?

I'm embarrassed to say I never heard of TBS or Tom until someone sent me a clip of the now classic riff he and PFT did on the Insane Clown Posse.  This was in July of 09.  I thought it was hilarious and did some Wiki-ing of Tom and found out about his fake calls with Wurster.  Being a longtime Phil Hendrie fan, I dove right in and fell in love with the Newbridge-verse and TBS.

I've now bought every S&W album and listen every Tuesday.

I'd been listening to a couple of other shows on the station for a year or so, but I wasn't aware of TBSOW. On April 19, 2005 I tuned into WFMU just to see what was playing. Tom had Bishop Pablo Fontana on the show. I was completely captivated by the whole exchange. It was only during the following week's show that I discovered the FOT site and the old board and realized I had been fooled.

I probably would've found out about the show from someone or other eventually, but I was extremely lucky to have stumbled upon it by chance like that, especially during such a fascinating call. What a proper and awesome way to get introduced to the show.

So funny and great and rewarding. Best Show for Life!

I was a relative latecomer to the Best Show having first discovered it about four years ago. There have been a handful of times in my life when I have said to myself: "This is what I've been waiting for" and the first time I heard The Best Show was one of them (The others are the first time I met my wife, the first time I met my dog, and the first time I saw Get a Life).

Over the last four years The Best Show has made me laugh, introduced me to new things and wonderful people and basically been a force of good in my life. I would like to thank Tom, Jon, Jillian Barbarie, All of the AP's and everyone who has been associated with the Best Show, my life is better thanks to you.

This show has brought me more enjoyment over the last 4 years than any other piece of entertainment in any format. Thanks Tom and Jon (and all the amazing FOT)!

I've been tuning in for about two years now, and i'll tune in for as many more years as Tom wants to go for. But a hearty congratulations to Tom, Jon, Mike and everyone else for 10 years of the single greatest radio show to ever hit the airwaves!

[Hugman 3.0]

I love you, daddy.

I started listening to the Best Show about three years ago.  I never would have thought I could like a radio show as much as this but it's now one of my favorite things in the world.  Congratulations to Tom and Jon on ten great years!

[Jillian Barberie]

Can i ask Everybody here to please call in with your fave funny stories or just warm regards for Tom on his 10th Anniversary show tomorrow please? Thank you so much!

[Sarah]

But did he not tweet that Mike and Therese will be filling in?

[leather]

Hi Sarah,

Yes, Mike and I will be filling in- but in honor of the 10th anniversary we would love for as many people to call in with favorite Best Show moments.  Hope to hear from as many of you as possible!

Thanks!

Therese

Ah.  It was the "his" that confused me (I am tired and thus in literal mode).  Now I understand.

 Nine years, thanks for the good times Tom.

I've been listening to the Best Show for a while, but this is my first post on the boards. I can't say enough about The Best Show, to anyone who will listen. Congratulations to Tom and Jon and anyone even remotely involved with the greatest show ever to be broadcast anywhere. And now, because I know how much Tom loves it, I will cut myself off in the middle of typing "have a good n

I only discovered The Best Show in mid-2009, but now, as cliched as it sounds, I can't imagine life without it. Nothing makes me laugh harder, but more amazing to me is the degree of emotional attachment I feel to the show and everyone involved. As others have said, the show has seen me through a fairly rough year, and Tom truly makes me feel that I, too, can DO IT. No one is there for the underdog like Tom and Jon. Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed to this universe.
