1995 May 24 - Tom Snyder Interviews David Letterman

I wish somebody would have told me not to have dubbed and redubbed all of my vhs tapes in case I would be sharing them with a zillion people...

Thanks for putting this up. I'm now digitizing it from my collection and will upload it later.

[@ryanw-oo1hh]

Sir, I’d like to applaud you for your incredible dedication to finding and preserving these old broadcasts. You’ve done a phenomenal service to the art and to modern culture.

@@ryanw-oo1hh Thanks!

Connie got what she deserved. These two guys are hysterical.

For those wondering, Dave's prediction about the Indy 500 that year was just a little off. Bobby Rahal didn't win; he came in 3rd.

David Letterman is the most naturally funny guy in broadcast TV history

[@randallgrathwohls8607]

Reminds of an incident back in 1969. I was going to a college in Kentucky and we had a 10 watt station and could play "Rockn Roll". One night the D.J. played "Lay Lady Lay" 3 times in a row. The next broadcast day it was a "Christian Music" only. ;-)

Randall Grathwohls hahaha

[@allendracabal0819]

Somebody was probably upset with the bad grammar in the song title. The intransitive verb form is "lie", not "lay".

[@andyb811]

Letterman was a guest on the show after his on the same night?

[@allendracabal0819]

Yes, that's right.

37:12 - Great reaction from Dave to Tom's excuse about saying NBC instead of CBS

[@jonhohensee3258]

It seems like when Dave would be interviewed he felt that every other thing he said had to be funny. Would have been nice if he just backed off that a bit.

[@allendracabal0819]

I agree, but it wasn't his style to do that. He did an interview with Bob Costas once where he didn't joke around quite as much as he does here.

[@sha11235]

I liked Dave at this time when he didn't wear his glasses on air.
