NBC-LATER-3/22/91-Tom Snyder, Howard Stern

Tom Snyder was filling in for Bob Costas. This is a very contentious interview between Tom Snyder and Howard Stern. They both made no effort to hide their distaste for one another. I also posted another version with improved audio. Here's the link- • NBC LATER- 3 -22- 91 T...

[@TreeintheQuad]

Tom Snyder was a badass and a top notch interviewer. So glad I discovered him through youtube.

[@zachbrown1988]

Same honestly. Now I relive the old days of late night television lol

[@jeremyhouchens8711]

The Tom Snyder interview with Kiss, particularly Ace Frehley was legendary

[@bhulett]

the best. Ace 🤘🏻

[@SIUDESIGN]

I can't take sides here, these two guys are/were giants in their field and this is a pleasure to watch. Thanks for posting it!

[@mpf4114]

so very true

[@Rb1330]

You're welcome!

[@davet5260]

Credit to Tom! Good interview.

[@charliedriver1717]

After 22 minutes, I didn’t think it could get better but... “you are what is wrong with television” is just such a great way to go out

[@crazywolf1x1x]

Must have watched this interview a thousand times. This is the best copy of this I've seen online. saved it to my favs. Thanks for this.

[@Rb1330]

That's nice to hear. You're welcome.

[@roostersideburns3440]

this seems tame compared with today

[@tw364]

Love it, Howard usually got his way on television, hosts would sit and take it, all the plugs, snide remarks, etc, Snyder didn't play that way, it made for great television. I think Howard a little frightened by Tom, he was physically imposing, kind of old school wise guy and ace broadcaster. Reminds me when Snyder threw Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold off his CNBC Talk Show. Tom never suffered fools gladly, we miss you man.

[@WestvilleCaper]

You are delusional 😂

[@franklynpolster8949]

One of my favorite interviews. Like a train reck I can't stop watching.

[@survivinginflation8579]

Love this original footage though. Commercials are amazing.

[@peterblack1639]

This is surreal . Howard has become so mainstream and so big in 2020 signing a multi million dollar broadcasting which allows him to work from home . He still portrays the oppressed underdog which people champion and that's part of his immense success.......

[@torccchaser6712]

was great to see again..thank you for sharing !

[@Rb1330]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bruceflashback3877]

This interview was my first exposure to Howard Stern . I of course heard of him. Seeing Stern`s syndicated show later that year made me a fan .

[@ChangingTides777]

Then he succeeded.

[@guillermomaclachlan1072]

Like it or not both were pioneers in their field.

[@ChangingTides777]

I think they both knew EXACTLY what they were doing here.

[@MrAitraining]

"Where is Bob Costas?.......he lets you give a number!" LOL

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

Tom Snyder had a lot of class. Howard Stern was as questionable as it gets. Never understood Stern's appeal. It is get anything for ratings. Pat Cooper buried Stern well.

[@stevekay1925]

I saw the press conference interview from 1994 and Snyder said that this interview was staged and that they were cordial during the commercial.

[@ChangingTides777]

They both understood how to create good television.

[@3MFDS]

best interview ever

[@pattybush1842]

My granddaughter, 22,just came in. I said do you know who that is? She said no... who is it? I said Howard Stern. She said she had no idea who he was. My have the times have changed. She has all the tech gadgets, smart phone and Apple Watch. Different world. Tom Bush

[@nigabastard1268]

That’s sad

[@Ilyathe2nd]

Thank you very much for posting this gem! Heated debate, interesting, funny and never boring between two who have no respect for each other but do their jobs nonetheless. We all have a lot to learn from this :)

[@Rb1330]

You're welcome. Great comment!

[@tjacksondolph4026]

This is the work of a true master.

[@angelthman1659]

I watched this when it first aired. Classic!

[@dr.roberts4508]

Tom's the Best. Costas knew Tom could handle Howard. I remember this

[@edwardbliss8931]

I was visualizing points like they do in basketball games, Stern-67, Snyder-54. Update, Snyder is making up ground...Stern-74, Snyder-68

[@sfogliatelle]

What a fantastic interview! Tom Snyder was huge at this time, bigger than Howard was. Howard was such an interesting guest here, the interview really kept Tom on his toes and was such a stand out amidst the typical boring celebrity interviews. This is why Howard is still at it today, he really has that something special. Even people who say they hate him watch his interviews and listen to clips here long enough to say thefy hate him :)

[@Katy-ye1zr]

I watched because of Tom Snyder, since it was a clip I'd never seen before, not because of Stern. Tom Snyder after Johnny Carson - two perfect night time show hosts.

[@gregorycrawford5279]

Tom Snyder: Unreal talent.

[@jamesleonard4895]

Super funny interview. Classic

[@coffeehigh420]

that was so easy to read his lips when he said 1-800-52-STERN @ 6:04

[@fastfoodreviewandelvistoo]

They both liked each other is my gut feeling

[@GregCurtin45]

Howard Stern reminds me of any interview with Gene Simmons (and that isn't a compliment) Long live the memory and spirit of Tom Synder.

[@RoaroftheTiger]

Hey NOW ! "Gotta call that '900' Number, right away !" lol It's a shame, that obviously Tom didn't get it ... 'These Two' together, were Great ! Truly, one of the most entertaining interviews, ever !

[@themako990mako9]

Wish Brooklyn was still like that.

[@liamcragin]

Trashy with the smell of cocaine and hairspray?

[@OMGWUNSIU]

This was great! 🔥🔥🔥🔥God I miss the country we used to have before everything turned to shit

[@ChangingTides777]

I blame Jay Leno for that.

[@nogi7028]

Snyder was a heavyweight and Howard wasn't ready for that

[@rs.matr1x]

What's funny is Howard Stern today after he made his money completely changed his philosophy. At least Tom Snyder was consistent.

[@mottthehoople684]

I miss Tom Synder

[@crazywolf1x1x]

I liked him as well. I watched the late late show and loved his interview style. He wasn't gossipy he would just sit with his guests and have a conversation. It was very nice.

[@posysdogovych2065]

He was a hero of mine when I was a teen and I discovered him on CNBC. I loved the way he would talk about mundane things that happened in his everyday life, like little experiences while shopping in a grocery story and seeing people do cute things, etc.

[@j.a.freeland2127]

jay1776 tomorrow show ;)

[@madambutterfly7513]

I do too, what we have today is worthless

[@glennhoddle10]

@@madambutterfly7513 Agreed. Worthless is the only word to describe the talentless clowns we have nowadays.

[@ynotttt]

2 complete opposites but Tom had much class Howard didn’t. It’s very clear here.

[@steviedub9370]

Howard became everything he criticized Tom for

[@ChangingTides777]

That's fair.

[@user-ye9ph5iq5z]

Howard used to be so funny and had true balls and didn’t care who he pissed off. Back in the day he was unbeatable, I miss the old Howard.

[@user-ye9ph5iq5z]

It’s like someone castrated him. I used to listen to him everyday and couldn’t wait for the show, now he barely works, repeats the same stuff over and over & shills for the Democrats. I looked to him for an escape not to hear about politics endlessly. Ronnie is the best thing on the show.

[@michaelandrew964]

Someone should have “cancelled” Stern in his cradle.

[@setpunks13]

Two heavyweights slugging it out. Saw this when it first aired. Definitely not boring.

[@saprissa30]

I love to see howard backpedaling. Tom know what he is doing.

[@Dueville7777]

Funny how HollyWood Howie was begging for plugs back then, and now he's worth a gazillion dollars

[@jeremyhouchens8711]

He tried not to laugh when he said word association

[@browningautomatic2393]

great show !

[@RickBeatsWorld]

The sad thing is the Howard Genuinely wanted Tom to like him. He respected the relationship between him and Dave. He loved Tom, but at the end of the day he way just too "Old Guard" to be swayed. Stern really believed in a Letterman NBC 11:30 and a Snyder 12:30 block. Its a shame really.

[@rexspencer5107]

That was great!!

[@waylonmercy8125]

Mrs poodle hair was a jerk, I don't know if it was just an act or he was being serious. Clearly tom snyder was mad afterwards.

[@DanielDangerous]

It's kinda refreshing seeing someone not be afraid of Howard, who's ultimately just a provocateur. Howard comes out swinging like he always does to off balance Tom and Tom easily bats it off and then Howard can only try to gaslight him and put words in his mouth. Obviously, it's annoying to anyone and especially when you're attempting to have a conversation with someone that doesn't want to really have a conversation, but Tom handles it like a pro, gives Howard enough to think he got Tom's number just to accidentally have a conversation. Total pro, Tom is a class act.

[@davidblackwelder6473]

WOW! Staged? Yes, Funny? Hysterical. Great Stuff. RIP to The wonderful Tom Snyder.. Baba Booey!

[@ChangingTides777]

Agreed.

[@johndee5892]

Howard is just sooo amazing on these shows. Something about him hes so lovable. And funny and relaxed

[@MrAitraining]

Best talk show guest ever imo.

[@kdubya-6910]

Tom mentioned the DMV...and Stern thought he was referring to Vietnam.....the DMZ.....hehehe

[@zoso1980]

Howard knew what was going on and what the DMV was. He was just distorting to piss Snyder off and throw him off.

[@jeremyhouchens8711]

Look at him he’s laughing, that’s the moment they became friends

[@CaptenMidnite13]

Funny interview lmao😀

[@serigraph73]

and now Stern is everything he railed against....sad. he should have retired a long time ago

[@Rhezoloution]

I dint follow stern..but am curious...where and when did he go wrong?

No Howard Stern grew up and made a lot of money married a crazy women. Not funny anymore but still has done it all doesn’t regret his career now is slowing down at 65.

@@Rhezoloution he got wealthy, bruh. that make you lame.

[@rolliehatch3075]

Great back and forth, even if it doesn't ultimately go anywhere. Snyder's comments about Rebecca Shaeffer were sort of ridiculous, considering a law was passed a few years later to prevent the DMV from selling private information, specifically inspired by that case.

[@kellylewis7190]

between the two of these guys Tom Snyder was the one being real.

[@reedkennethia]

I saw an interview Snyder did with Letterman where he said that him and Stern planned out what they were going to say during the commercial breaks.

[@kennethlatham3133]

Well, that went about like I thought it would.

[@Katy-ye1zr]

uh huh

[@timothytobin3911]

I'm sure they shook hands after this and laughed about , of camera Howard is a very likeable guy ..very entertaining!

[@mikestevenson576]

Snyder claimed they laughed about it during every commercial break. Likened the friction to "professional wrestling".

[@bcdrummer1962]

I had the same thought. This was pure entertainment and I guarantee HS had great respect off camera for Tom Snyder. At several point you can see them looking at each other totally enjoying themeselves.

[@Danimal77]

I doubt it. Tom literally took of his mic and walked off the set leaving Howard there by himself. Hosts NEVER do that. Tom really disliked Howard.

[@zoso1980]

@@Danimal77 Yes, that un-micing walking off was real. That is NOT Tom's style. He was visibly annoyed.

yup, Howard nailed Tom to the teeeee. This was an interrogation and Tom was out of touch. Everything Howard said that was going to happen, went as he said.

[@perennialmisfit]

Man, was Snyder an antagonistic ass here. Get 'im, Stern!

[@zoso1980]

You don't get Stern's schtick then. Stern by interrupting, cutting off, personalizing and changing the topic - he's effectively throwing the interviewer off trying to enrage them. Snyder was class. Howard was just employing junior debate tactics to piss off the person in the other chair. Sorry, Tom nailed Stern in several ways including most importantly the lack of respect for how he affects people by the tone and tactics he uses and the responsibility to use it with some sense of decency.

[@justinbrockshus8483]

Howard Stern said on Conan once that Tom Snyder's teeth are very disturbing. LMAO

[@bucksdiaryfan]

This "feud" felt a little stagey

[@Darrin.Crawford]

I thought that at first as well but after watching it a second time and listening to a few of the topics it convinced me otherwise that this was as real as it gets.

[@johnnycritical]

Bababooey’s description of this interview is so far off. He said Howard was pissing him off so bad and you could tell Tom hated him. That Tom threw his mic down and stormed off the set. If anything I think Tom was joking at the end there, because he was a great sport through the whole thing and they both seemed to be enjoying the interaction for the most part.

Little Tommy was owned on this one. Maybe it was the era and clash of stiffness and looseness.... perfectly exemplified by the dance moves in the commercial at 16:45 which could double as an ad for hip replacements.
