Tom and Nathan have a great conversation about various topics including Nathan's early career as a standup comedian with Patrick Stack, working with Mickey Rooney and George C. Scott, jobs he'd held before becoming a professional actor, going to Catholic school, doing "Merlin: The Magical Musical" on Broadway and so many other topics. They also take a few phone calls.
"He doesn't wanna talk about his childhood! He just fell out of a TREE!"

Nathan is such a delight! Ever so adorable

MouseHunt is an awesome movie, and he is cool in the movie. Good thing they didn't make a movie like that now, or it would've been a series. Seems like so many movie-makers are obsessed with making series instead of just movies. The movie is great by itself, when it was made. It doesn't need any help.

He looks soooo like Albert Goldman here!!! He is such a cutie here. So sweet. Wish he had remained like this forever. It's a pity time passes and people get old.

[@adarkimpurity]

Too many of his quips go unnoticed!

[@utubenotebanco]

He hadn't come out yet when this interview was made.

[@ShiksaWithChutzpah1]

One of my very favorites since I was 12 years old. I'm 30 now and still love him to pieces.

Brilliant Nathan!

Flippin, Arkansas - that's hilarious! "Hey, I live in Flippin! Don't piss me off!"

[@diannerussell9653]

Why would anyone tell that story about the mice. I find with Tom he interrupts or hijacks the conversation. Is he interviewing himself or the guest.

[@GMLSUPP]

This was from DECEMBER 16th 1997

[@hectorlopez1069]

He was good on Mousehunt, him and his friend trying to kill the mouse, but they didn't.

[@aec9174]

Maybe it's just me, but the older I get, the less patience I have with talk show hosts who talk over their guests. I want to hear the guest, NOT the host!!!

Tom was a blowhard.

Wish Nathan had a girlfriend or a wife!

[@15acesplz15]

Well, he has a husband

[@brainsareus]

Even though Snyder was a corny simpleton, he was an entertaining interviewer for the most part.
