1995 Nov. - Tom Snyder Interviews David Letterman

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Thomas James Snyder (May 12, 1936 - July 29, 2007) was an American television personality, news anchor, and radio personality best known for his late night talk shows Tomorrow, on NBC in the 1970s and 1980s, and The Late Late Show, on CBS in the 1990s. Snyder was also the pioneer anchor of the prime time NBC News Update, in the 1970s and early 1980s, which was a one-minute capsule of news updates in prime time.

Snyder and Letterman, 2 great late night broadcasters. I miss good old TS and the colorcast.

[@Souleman561]

Who else could handle David like this? Tom was a real legend

[@thegameshowguy1]

The Late Show host being interviewed by the Late Late Show host. And Dave and Peter Lasally produced and owned both shows.

[@ilovethetampabaylightning92]

I get a big thrill out of watching Tom Snyder's bushy and very lively eyebrows going up and down,up and down on his forehead.

[@Channel-cm7yc]

Lol lol

[@formerlyarandompropernameb9327]

HAHA me ToOooooo! Always have!!! I’ve never heard anyone else comment on this❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Rob_Kates]

It's interesting to know that Dave considered moving the show to LA from NY, to get better guests. Johnny Carson was based in NY from 1962-1972. In 1972, he moved the show to Burbank. But, these days, a lot of shows originate from NY, like Colbert, Fallon, Seth Meyers and others.

[@NxDoyle]

It's not location that gets you better guests, it's the ratings and the cachet of the show. For the first year or so at CBS, Dave had better ratings than Leno. Once Leno overtook Dave, ratings-wise, it stayed that way. But Dave always had the cachet. He was the natural successor to Johnny, just as Conan is natural successor to Dave. If your NY-based show has the prestige, the respect, you'll get the guests. It's just easier to get them when they live 30 mins away.

[@austinsandefer649]

I like David letterman, but. Man how I miss tom Snyder...

[@richardcook6284]

I didn't know he was into shortwave radio. I have been into it for years.

[@MrMenefrego1]

Me too!

[@Channel-cm7yc]

Oh yes he would openly talk about this on his 1980’s radio show through ABC. Trains as well and it was AWSOME to hear him talking about cars too.

[@roquefortfiles]

Back when Dave was hungry and full of piss n vinegar. Instead of phoning it in like now.

[@itstheburnz]

roquefortfiles he aged tremendously though too in all those years....and that heart surgery was a life altering experience ... That grind of the show....

[@sha11235]

So far, Letterman has never hosted the Oscars again.

[@philiphalpenny9761]

Uma...Oprah!

[@KnocksX]

I had no idea that Tom Snyder was such a tough interviewer! You don't see this on TV too often these days. Compare to Oprah and all other shit.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

NOBODY was aboard The Challenger

[@dingodingo82]

Great video letterman is a good interview and interviewer

[@MrMenefrego1]

SO TRUE!

[@jonhohensee3258]

So weird to have a collection of cars sitting in storage on the other side of the country.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales7218]

David Letterman 12/04/1947 74 años (75)

[@100kiloklingon]

10:50-11:05 is old school comedy gold..

[@johnking5174]

11:00 - Well that certainly changed by the mid-2000s.

[@MrGSfan]

Just a trivia, check the montage of guests on Tom's final Late Late Show episode (Dave's part) and 6:15.

[@Andromeda1741]

Love Tom!!!

[@masterlee814]

Thanks

[@sha11235]

Well, now Dave is leaving.

[@roberts1572]

Good bot

[@mynie]

This is like CHarmander fighting Charizard., when you think about it.

[@MrMenefrego1]

HUH?

[@tom2754]

Thanks for posting this. Could never stand Letterman though.

[@fostercathead]

Letterman thought he was funny.

[@billmiller119]

DAVE IS FUN TO LISTEN TO BUT HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN TIME TO BREATH SO TOM COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER INTERVIEW IT EVEN KEPT TOM ON EDGE SO THAT HE DIDN,T LAUGH MUCH ,ONE LINERS FROM DAVE WITH PAUSES WOULD HAVE DONE IT !....////

[@johnwest194]

letter man was over rated and never funny although he thought he was

[@JSB1882]

I hated David Letterman for replacing "The Tomorrow Show". The greatest talk show was Snyder's "The Tomorrow Show". I realized that it was NBC who destroyed "The Tomorrow Show". Later Letterman was supportive of Snyder and produced his shows. I still never cared for Letterman because he's like Carson. Nothing special in his show compared to Jack Paar's "Tonight Show".

[@CaptainSpalding72]

Jake Drew haha. Paar was a virulent homophobe. A mean fucker.

[@JSB1882]

Well - I have no idea about that, but Paar was fun to watch.

[@sha11235]

Jake Drew It had to do with Carson and his deal with NBC at the time.

[@JSB1882]

Well because I'm near 100 - Late night people like Cavett and Snyder tried to bring back the Jack Paar glory days of interviewing - when people talked. I hated Johnny Carson - not so much in the beginning because he did conduct interviews, but by the 1970s "The Tonight Show" became a 90 minute commercial for guests. Jay Leno was the worst. You might be right about anything on Television that shows intelligence. People aren't interested, which probably explains Donald Trump's presidential run.

[@AllDavidLetterman]

+Berryhill Associates Wow...really.... Which is why Dave hired Tom... that's right Dave chose Tom to host the Late, Late Show... They were great friends!!
