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

[@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

[@Buce-ku9vx]

Tom always slayed it. Love his stuff from 70's Tomorrow show till the end. Class act.

[@jeremyhouchens8711]

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

[@bhulett]

the best. Ace 🤘🏻

[@francispetaluma]

Tom Snyder was so underrated. Who else could take on Stern.

[@joeybrisk1869]

He was one of a kind.

[@Danimal77]

Take on Stern in his PRIME nonetheless.

[@siggylloyd3566]

@@Danimal77 there was nothing to "take on." Stern was always an act, hamming up a supposedly antagonistic, edgy persona for the microphone & camera. When it came down to it, both Snyder and Stern were broadcasters with mutual respect for the other.

[@bennythepooh4905]

Stern was aggravated because he knew Tom had something that he could never have.

[@rjpg]

Except Tom sucked. Howard kicked his ass and everything he said would happen, did.

[@Lioninthenight]

I remember watching this in 91 and video taping it. It's one of the best interviews ever. Up close and personal and highly confrontational.

[@franklynpolster8949]

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

[@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!

[@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 😂

[@keepitsimple7604]

Oh, my, gosh. This was absolutely priceless. Two of the greats clashing. I love them both. Good times, good times.

[@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

[@MrAitraining]

This was just great TV. I still love watching it. Howard slowly making Snyder crazy and angry throughout.

[@Kedeas]

I love Stern BUT Tom got so far up Howard's ASS his shoes were resting on Howard's Lips. When Tom hit him with the murder scenario Howard Lost it.. Howard repeated that part Over and Over. It was a very good interview but Tom got the Best of Howard By Far.

[@khav11]

dont forget the commercials...does the gal ad is still available LOL

[@painful-Jay]

I used to listen to Synder’s late late show in the 90’s to fall asleep. Soothing voice I guess.

[@kenlegg9042]

Love the interaction . Both at the top of their game !! I really miss Tom

[@gregdavis861]

Two heavyweights going at each other. TS we miss you!

[@stevebakker6884]

Great to see this classic telecast posted. At a later date Howard would have Jerry Seinfeld on his radio show and Jerry stated that loved this exchange between Howard and Tom. Jerry actually called Jay Leno during the telecast and asked him to tape it.

[@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

[@Danimal77]

What happened to THIS Howard Stern? The HONEST one who wasn't afraid to say what he really felt? He became everything he rallied against.

[@efs120]

Wow people lose their edge as the grow old? Can’t believe it

[@spb7883]

For a clue, listen again to the part where he talks about how grateful his fans are for being able to listen to something while they’re stuck in traffic. Now, compare that situation 31 years ago to today in 2022: satellite radio, Spotify, Deezer. Stern lost his edge because people don’t need him anymore.

[@byrontownsel7274]

​@efs120 He didn't just lose his edge, he became Access Hollywood. It sux.

[@steviedub9370]

It’s called getting old. I love this Stern but it would be sad if he was still doing this at 70.

[@yavitvexe9997]

Give an example

[@mrearlygold]

Tom Snyder was a class act

[@jamesbevin2723]

I totally agree 👍 👌

[@KB1983.]

more like an idiot

[@Aaliyahchannel2024]

He's the most dull presenter in the history of TV.

[@WestvilleCaper]

He said shit on the air twice. He was bested here and anyone saying the opposite just doesn’t like Howard.

[@YesNo-pe3bl]

The irony here is the fact that Howard's style has evolved into something that mirrors Snyder's overall style.

[@Aaliyahchannel2024]

So true

[@torccchaser6712]

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

[@Rb1330]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bigworldddd9566]

It seems like there was some level of genuine affection here. This was great stuff!

[@tw364]

@Belarion A.D. Tom exposed what a fool Stern was. He was frustrated only that had it been his show Stern would never be on.

[@cmp1868]

Hilarious-now Howard Stern makes T.Snyder look like 'the rebel.' Funny how things change. Back then Snyder was the conservative one and Stern was edgy...not now!!!

[@joeybrisk1869]

Exactly. Modern stern is an embarrassment…. Talk about OUT OF TOUCH

[@billjim334]

@Daniel Drader out of touch because the “edgy people” now aren’t edgy at all. They’re all about towing the line, being politically correct, following trends, and doing everything the government tells them. The conservatives are the edgy ones now because we have independent thought, rebel against wokeness, PC culture, and generally dislike big government. the tables have turned

[@billjim334]

@Daniel Drader And to further answer ur question about stern being out of touch, refer to 22:35 where he makes the argument against censorship. Fast forward to today, he openly calls for people to be censored, such as Alex jones. He has no conviction. he’s a fuckin phony

[@ManFrancisco]

@Daniel Drader second this. People tend to forget that Howard moved from terrestrial radio to Sirius…thus allowing him creative freedom but in the long run to be less “shocking”. He’s also became more of an interviewer because of this

[@MrAitraining]

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

[@HomeAtLast501]

Tom was above this BS.

[@tillsatt50]

[@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.......

[@gregorycrawford5279]

Tom Snyder: Unreal talent.

Vintage Stern was provocative, candid & entertaining. And for pure escapism, you could not take your eyes off it. In the end, it's humor. And if we laughed at ourselves more and stopped threatening to sue every 5 min for defamation, we'd have a better world.

[@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 .

[@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.

[@jamesmauzy3582]

Such a classic interview that breeds controversy and hostility That makes you which there were more interviews like this where everybody was down everybody’s throat.

[@bloodravenzx4438]

I am a fan of howards but I do like tom snyder here, I do not know much about the man but I wish these two had their own show today just to argue. I am sorry to hear he passed away in 2007, he was a bit ahead of my time.

[@winonafrog]

Tom is great, many classic late-night TV interviews, pranks with Letterman, &c

[@theossy]

I came here waiting to be confirmed in my belief that Tom Snyder was being obnoxious to Stern... Came away just thinking Stern is absolutely mental in a bad way. He tries to have it both ways... If he was just going to be "real", "provocative", "out there", "funny", whatever - fine by me, totally :) But the way he tries to both be "crazy" and at the same time earnestly insisting that Tom is being hostile and impolite to him - moments before interrupting him saying "I don't know how OLD YOU ARE". I mean... That's just.. Stern commit to either or :)

[@fe5018]

Seriously? I didn't think Snyder was obnoxious but I have no beef with Howard's frenetic style.

[@scorsese1]

A classic. Saw the original airing. Have it ob videotape.

[@riffdigger2133]

14:20 - pow, ouch. “...you’re getting old-“ it’s like a boxing match. Tom is getting cut up. Certain words are zingers. Howard is brutal and full of surprise blows that hit hard. Intense. I had to put it on pause. Yes, I bought the HS Crucified By The FCC box set of CD’s with photo book.

Genius, back before Howard Stern sold out, this interview now embarrasses Howard Stern lol.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

Honestly, it embarrassed him way back in early 2006. I'm listening through the entire first year of sirius, and he talks about this interview during the second Friday show on Feb 21 2006. He was embarrassed by this LONG before Marci Turk and going Hollywood. The only reason I'm watching this video is because I paused his show so I could hear what embarrassed him.

[@joeybrisk1869]

Howard looks like a female gym teacher

[@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.

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 :)

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

[@kellylewis7190]

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

[@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.
