For the former professional footballer of the same name, see Lee Marshall (footballer) Lee Marshall was a professional wrestling announcer for the American Wrestling Association (AWA). He later joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to co-host WCW Thunder alongside Bobby Heenan and Tony Schiavone. He interviewed and announced alongside Mike Tenay and Scott Hudson on WCW Saturday Night as well. A staple of WCW Monday Nitro was his regular cracking of "Weasel" jokes directed at Heenan, which would conclude his road reports. Marshall was also involved in the Women of Wrestling pay-per-view in 2000. He was also known for traveling across the country to host Nitro parties for WCW, which often got quite out of hand with Marshall around. With his exceptionally deep voice, Marshall recently went on to replace the late Thurl Ravenscroft, providing the voice for the Frosted Flakes mascot Tony the Tiger, signing a 10-year contract with Kellogg's in 2006. Marshall is also a longtime radio announcer, working at such stations as KABC and KGFJ (now KYPA) in Los Angeles and CKLW in Windsor, Ontario, Canada (Detroit). At CKLW, he was one of the anchors for the station's famous "20/20 News" updates, and at KGFJ, he was "King News," bringing attention to the issue of gang violence. Marshall is also the ex-bassist for Jack White's new side project band, the Racounters.
