Jeffrey Lyons (born November 5, 1944) is the television and film critic for WNBC in New York City.
Lyons was born in New York City, to Sylvia Shoenberger and columnist Leonard Lyons. He joined NBC in October of 1996 as the station's film and theatre critic. He reports during "Live at Five" and "NewsChannel 4" newscasts, as well as co-hosting the weekly program "Reel Talk". Prior to joining WNBC, he was film critic for WPIX from 1970 to 1991, a co-host of "Sneak Previews" from 1982 to its demise in 1996, and host of "The Lyons Den" on WCBS (AM) from 1975 to 1993. He currently co-hosts "Lyons & Bailes Reel Talk" which runs in syndication.
"The Lyons Den" was originally the name of a long-running newspaper column in the "New York Post" written by Lyons' father, Leonard Lyons. The senior Lyons' column was devoted to showbiz news in general, not specifically films.
Lyons is the father of "Daily 10" film expert Ben Lyons.
