Mike Siegel is an American radio talk show host. Siegel is a native of New York, Jewish and a political conservative. He has worked on stations from Seattle's KVI to Boston's WRKO and hosted a webcast. He has substituted for nationally syndicated conservative talk show hosts, including Michael Reagan.
Siegel was the host of the late-night talk show Coast to Coast AM from April 2000 until January 2001. He became a frequent substitute of the show's host, Art Bell in late 1999, and when Bell announced his retirement in early 2000, he recommended Siegel to succeed him. Siegel maintained the format of the show that Art Bell had created, but his personal style was very different, and the show became less popular. Early in 2001, Bell decided to return, and Siegel left the show. Siegel hosted the show from Seattle, Washington, where he lived.
Later, Siegel hosted a daily talk show on WLIE, in Islip, Long Island. During this tenure, he promoted the movement to make Long Island the 51st state (with himself as its first Governor), and advocated "smoke-ins" to protest the county's smoking ban.
Siegel was the host of first a conservative noon-time to three pm talk show on KVI in Seattle, Washington; followed by a move to morning drive, on KTTH in Seattle, Washington. He was key in movements of the time to introduce accountability to Washington state government. He helped former representative Linda Smith and initiative to the people "King" Tim Eyman to get motor vehicle license fees reduced from 2.2% of the vehicle's value to $30 a year.
