Roger Ebert on The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder 8/11/97

[@satch234]

Great interview, Roger seems to be in rare form with his storytelling, thanks for the upload!

[@advids5572]

My pleasure & your welcome

[@Subo23]

His memoir is a terrific read

[@jeshkam]

​@@Subo23Also, there's a brand new book about S&E by Matt Singer

[@Subo23]

@@jeshkam Yeah gotta get on that

[@Rob_Kates]

As Tom Snyder would say..."Sit back, relax, fire up a color-tini, and watch the pictures as they fly through the air."

[@Kk-fc5jw]

This is how interviews are done......period

[@tomdalton4293]

Tom was great, my wife and I saw him coming out of a restaurant years ago in LA, we said hello, he could not have been nicer and took a moment to chat with us

[@erichaynes7502]

These Tom Snyder episodes are just fantastic..I just watch these instead of Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and any of the other late night snooze fests.

[@advids5572]

I know. Tom Snyder was one of the best at what he did. His show had an atmosphere and ambience not seen anymore.

[@tagmisterb]

26:26 "I think people are beginning to get tired of explosions." It's a pity he wasn't right about that.

[@mt.treverest5465]

I love Tom's monologue at the top of the episodes. Very laid back and relaxing. Thanks for the upload!

[@FordFracture]

Its hard to believe that they are both gone now

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

I'll say! 😢

[@PD-hv4js]

Gawd, I miss these guys!

[@jennifersman7990]

Such a great storyteller. Even after he lost the ability to speak, he was just as great with his reviews in print and the use of different celebs to “read” his reviews every week on the tv show

[@blinkzone1]

Best interview show ever

[@BartSimpson-nr1dy]

Wow, now that’s a great intro and a fantastic interview. Yeah gotta love Tom.

[@CraigCairney83]

Great interview! Miss Roger’s film reviews.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

I have always loved Tom Snyder's shows.

[@donadams7943]

One of the best interviews I have seen in a long time.

[@davebushmediadesign]

Tom was special. His genuine interest in every interview made me a fan when I was a teenager back in the old Tomorrow Show days. I'm thankful these clips are available. I miss him.

[@darj617]

I've never seen toms show while it was still on the air, but I'm really enjoying these episodes. His voice, the look and the way he interacts with his guests, just the ultimate pro from a bygone era. Miss this

[@advids5572]

Yes, Tom Snyder was one of the best at what he did. He always delivered quality television.

[@OhSankYouDoktor]

No words. Two true greats.

[@deckofcards87]

Thank you for uploading these gems! Being able to extract so much from a guest within a 29 to 30 minute time slot is truly a lost art, and Snyder was one of the best at it. And I miss Siskel and Ebert soo much... Never missed an episode of ATM and I looked forward to Roger's review column every week. R.I.P. to all three gentleman.

[@advids5572]

Thanks for watching

[@spacemissing]

Years ago when I went to LA a lot I used to buy fuel at the 76 station at 6678 Santa Monica BL for 94 to 98 cents a gallon. Those were the days!

[@apatheism]

I find the camera setup really interesting on this show. It was a bit jarring at first but as ive watched more and more episodes ive grown the really like it. At 18:35 he checks in with the audience to add context and its exactly as if you were watching and listening to your father and his buddy telling stories. The camera places you in the conversation naturally and adds to the overall vibe. The 4th wall is broken in talk shows all the time but its usually to land a joke or make a statement. Here its to give you the impression you're sitting down in the conversation rather than watching it from a distance. Good shit.

[@viddeojunke]

David Sanborn plays the saxophone on the theme song of Late Late Show. May he rest in peace.

[@aeropilot4419]

Indeed 🙏🏼🎷

[@troydavis2117]

Miss you Tom 1/22/21...

[@billakers7650]

Roger writes as good as he speaks (Pulitzer Prize winner) ...

[@mrjasonwhite73]

This is gold.

[@KevinJohnson-yz2tb]

14:27 Great hearing Roger laugh like that.

[@midwestdepressed]

Dick Cavett is my favorite interviewer. That said, Tom Snyder is slowly gaining on him, in my mind.

[@GH-oi2jf]

Was that the same Bob Hale who was KING's cartooning weatherman in Seattle ca. 1960? Edit: It must be. KING fired Hale in 1963, probably related to his drinking, and he turned up at KOGO in San Diego for a spell. Hale was back in Seattle within the year, though, but after being fired again by KING, then KIRO, he went in 1970 to KNBC in Los Angeles where he and Snyder met.

[@orbison]

It was going good until 16:24, then the "arthritic thumb" had me howling in laughter.

[@lilmelvin11]

Great interview ! Thank you !

[@advids5572]

Thanks for watching.

[@stevenbatke2447]

Still watching!

[@donnahartman5220]

No one like Tom. His voice is magic.

[@photomanwilliams4147]

OH the lost art.......... I do mean art of the storyteller. conversation on TV today is about the quick wit, fast Zingers, broken up by a tv ad every 4 min. I so miss this type of entertainment.

[@tentcater4710]

A bygone era now so sad!

[@BartSimpson-nr1dy]

And well over 20 years later, the hero is still out running the special affects. When oh when will Hollywood make an old fashioned movie?

[@jedijones]

The movies with explosions and special effects did not end up going away. 🤯

[@mjanderson4]

Idk Tom got Roger to talk about a drinking story since Roger is a reformed Alcoholic. Lost Highway was not that bad, I always felt Roger was too harsh on Lynch after Blue Velvet.

[@VideoHeadMan]

Cause Tom wasn’t a sensationalist and they go back so it wasn’t scary to Roger but cathartic.

[@toufexiselias]

I could watch 50 hours of this

i had to pause the video that Groucho Marx story was so good. got me gufffawing

[@appidydafoo]

7:11 - heavy and true

[@BigBingFan]

I, too, enjoy Tom's 5-6 minute monologues at the top of the show. Of course, the guests are great, too, but Tom's monologues would be awesome to be put on videos, from CNBC and CBS days. ANYONE, especially AD Vids, know who, if anyone, has all the Radio Shows of Tom, from the mid-80's-up to right before his CNBC Show?

[@HumanBeanbag]

Tom Snyder makes Craig Ferguson look like George Carlin.

[@dancelli714]

I liked Ebert. So awful what happened to him later in life and Siskel too. By the way, this was the first time I heard Ebert laugh big time, nice to hear. P.S. I remember Ebert wanted to date Oparh and when she heard that she bust out laughing in front of him, that wasn't classy.

[@langdonalger9219]

They did go out a couple of times I believe.

[@jackbailey8631]

Oprah did a profile on Ebert during the period that he was going through surgery and she said that they did go on a date. They remained close until his death so I don’t know what you’re talking about.

[@katiezee2]

2 thumbs up on this !

[@ginny5937]

That joke was horrible, Tom!!
