Tom Snyder was a class act. Loved his infectious laugh

[@NoxiousRob]

I'm a Brit, so I never saw the likes of Tom Snyder or Dick Cavett doing their interviews back in the day, but I really enjoy watching them on KZbin. Both absolutely consummate interviewers, closest we got in Britain was Michael Parkinson, who also seemed to have a natural ability to engage a guest and get the best out of them.

[@ATMyles]

Parkinson is the best comparison. I’m American but I’ve watched British television since I was a child.

[@patrickfennell6372]

Tom was the best interviewer in his day.

[@antonio78230]

The respect each one had for the other is palpable. I also see how Snyder's thoughtful interviewing style was appealing to so many, including people like Pesci who normally didn't do chat shows. I miss seeing guys like Snyder on television. The shortened attention span of viewers, the quick pace of television offerings, and the increasingly dumbing down of America these days would make a Tom Snyder implausible were he to emerge today. I miss this sort of television -- thoughtful, sincere conversation without gimmicks or penchant for the salacious.

[@jess4metoo]

I wanted this show to continue. Tom Snyder was therapy for my insomnia. RIP

[@scottsteel2395]

He was a Godsend for us late nighters. It was like having a good friend over for quiet coffee late at night.✌

[@sdot5389]

Same. I was in late high school and early college when this show ran. I rarely missed an episode. What an absolute treasure.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

@@jkt4748 Oh, gosh is THAT right? Oh, DEAR! :( :( I loved him and his interviewing style, not to mention his raucous laughter, SO MUCH! :) :)

[@edub9930]

1st time i saw Mr Pesci was on Home Alone as a kid. As I grew older I enjoyed his "heavier" roles & thoroughly enjoyed each & everyone. RIP Mr Snyder

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

I miss Snyder so damn much! Pesci is so elegant in real life, and calmly spoken that it is so hard to imagine him playing a role like Tommy in GoodFellas. Man, that role was scary as Hell!

[@SLOESIPPA]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@johnmoeller8654]

God bless Joe’s dad, he sounds like an amazing man!

[@walkertongdee]

what a great interview only Tom can do this...

[@enjoythemoment6596]

All interviewers should take notes… Tom Snyder is outstanding…. and Joe Pesci is a hell of a great actor. Much ❤️ to them both.

[@JuanHernandez-ry9dr]

Tom a great host. Always well prepare. No small talk

[@Channel-cm7yc]

A living & breathing portrait in the art of superb conversation. I’ve always liked Tom and his guests and the great stories that Tom always brought to life brilliantly. Joe himself is brilliant at his craft and never pretentious and is always very humble about being a celebrity which makes him a fun and kind person to interview and listen to.

[@moznoraz6658]

holy hell you come up with all these rare gems, thanks!

[@advids5572]

Your welcome/My pleasure!

[@michaelbarlow6610]

It is so nice to see that Joe Pesci is such a nice and very humble guy!

[@Cccc-ky4vq]

Jersey guy!!! Old school Italian tradition

[@kariyoshi5628]

One of my favourite actor of all-time...a genuine guy and truly a legend. 👍

[@reservoirdayak3923]

Thanks for the rare gem! What a great Sinatra story at the end. Lol

[@mirazusta2002]

Although a tough man in his own right, as a nonprofessional boxer, Joe Pesci showed a lot of courage stepping in a ring with Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran, one of the greatest in the sport, even if it was under a non-agression kind of pact. I bet Mr. Pesci learnt quite a few tricks from the "Hands of Stone (lucky him)." He deserves respect for that. Thank you for posting.

[@mikelezcurra810]

What a treat. Too bad we rarely see such conversations these days.

[@garymcaleer6112]

Joe's a good sport! He played the underdog in this where other times that man kicked ass. That's a range of roles I'll respect to my last breath. All the best, sir. And to Tom too. Life in these days is incomplete without you. I always search for morals; and I find them.

[@peternagy-im4be]

He was underused as a comedian because he was very funny.

[@scottsteel2395]

Tom was so good at late night TV. Great conversation. Funny. Intimate.These shows were like having friends over for coffee at 1:00 am. What happened to slow paced, interesting, intimate, conversation ? Quiet, dim light, late night, coffee, and Carson and Snyder. Those were great nights for television.

[@johnf120]

“When fans see you on the street, how do they react to the characters you play?” “It depends on the movie they saw last, and I can usually tell by the way they approach me” Now that’s the sign of a talented actor!

[@joecaroselli5858]

I think that Mr. Pesci sort of looks like another "Joe" in this particular video... former NY Yankees manager and now baseball executive Joe Torre. This is a superb interview. I respect both gentlemen.

[@theflorgeormix]

Joe's interviews are gold

[@chuckdieselkicksdisks2380]

Joe pesci another great legend

[@elvis-jj1sc]

we need talk show host like tom back!

[@ajluvzlondon4214]

thank you so much for sharing this...Mr. Pesci seems like such an authentic man. Also, you can see that the set-up is like an actual 1-1 interview (as opposed to the current late night talk shows)...

[@advids5572]

Thank you for watching. The host Tom Snyder was one of the best at his profession & with Pesci they had great chemistry together.

Yes he was one of the best ever.

[@sto59]

Tom Snyder RIP. Miss Old TS. Thanks Tom.

[@SueProv]

The more I see Tom Snyder the more I see what a great interviewer and fun interviewer he was. I saw in a couple of places Johnny Carson thought he had no talent and once went up to his table and let him gave it. Snyder was in shock. Must have beev insecurity. Johnny was great in his venue and Tom in his. Tom was really great to watch.

[@advids5572]

Yes he was one of the best at what he did and gets overlooked over Carson, Letterman and others. Snyder was sincere and a real as they come.

[@SueProv]

@@advids5572 He wasn't overlioked by Letterman for sire because World Wide Pants which was owned by Letterman hired Tom for 5 years. I heard Dave and Conan praise him. There is no way Johnny was right . His insecurity told him how grwat Ton was. Thanks for putting these up. It's reallt a treasure to keep enjoying him.

[@advids5572]

Overlooked by the viewers not Letterman & Carson.

[@runadamill]

That Sinatra story is crazy. People you think would have never crossed paths. Pesci, Pacino & Sinatra...3 of the greatest Italian artists ever.

[@chuckberg8321]

I know some people have ripped Tom Snyder for interrupting guests, but I think he's a fantastic interviewer with a soothing cadence. Didnt discover him until some years ago, but can't get enough of his interviews on KZbin.

[@janski1982]

I loved Brad Pitt in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, but I think Pesci should have won an Oscar from his performance in The Irishman.

[@googoo-gjoob]

well, _that_ was the fastest 24 minutes!

[@dltguitar6532]

Pesci has so much class!

[@63bplumb]

Right after this promotion for Lethal Weapon 4 in July of 1998, Joe Pesci went into hiding for 8 and a half years and reappeared in December 2006 with a new movie called "The Good Shepherd."

[@Niles-Guy]

I felt like the fly on the wall just listening to this great conversation. Another time period I missed out on
