About the Host
Meet Tom Adair
Opinionated. Quick. Dangerously curious. The kind of conversationalist who asks the question everyone else was thinking — and then the follow-up nobody saw coming.
“Everybody's got a story. My job is to get it out of them before they realize what's happening.”
Tom Adair has spent a career talking into microphones and occasionally being listened to. Back in the early '80s he was doing stand-up in Omaha — which is like boot camp for comedians, except the drill sergeants are drinking and nobody's obligated to laugh. In 2011 he hosted his own radio show in Las Vegas, a city that has heard everything and is impressed by almost none of it.
Somewhere in between, he wrote 13 e-books, because apparently one wasn't enough to get it all out of his system. He still can't stop: these days his humorous observations and commentary land through TomServations, where nothing is too small to have an opinion about.
Between the comedy clubs and the radio booth, Tom figured out what he does best: sit across from someone interesting, ask one honest question, and let the conversation go wherever it wants. Sometimes it's hilarious. Sometimes it's surprisingly profound. It's never boring.
WGAF is the result — an unscripted show with a rotating cast of colorful guests and absolutely no adult supervision. No talking points. No rehearsals. Just Tom, a mic, and whoever's brave enough to sit down.
Broadcaster
Hosted his own radio show in Las Vegas in 2011 — a town where you learn fast how to keep people from changing the station.
