- Tom Snyder's last episode on his cable talk show aired live on December 1, 1994. His guests that night were Bob Newhart, telling great stories, and Calvert DeForest, plugging his book, Cheap Advice, which he had no hand in writing. Dave Letterman, Tom's forthcoming boss, called in as "Elliot from Gas City, Indiana."*
Tom would return on air the following month, on January 9, 1995, to launch his new Dave-owned talk show, "Late Late Show with Tom Snyder" on CBS, right after Letterman's "Late Show."
Following the show is a profile CNN aired on January 9, 1995, that featured Tom and his new "Late Late Show," which would debut later that night.

One of the greatest, most heartfelt intros and monologues in the history of tv. Tom gave a level of intimacy that no other show even came close to touching. Every single night just felt like some friends having a discussion before bed. I’m going to cry now
Tom was perhaps the greatest broadcaster on TV. Severely underrated. He brought his talent from radio to the tv medium and kept the audience with his voice and stories and not flashy visuals.
maybe but I still think John Chancellor and Walter Cronkite are a step above in terms of broadcasting. It’s his interview skills that are top notch in my humble opinion. It’s great when he talks with people that are quite opposite of him like Jerry Garcia or Ken Kesey.
Nobody could do a better interview than Tom Snyder.
Tom was a great broadcaster, so relaxed and natural on the air. I loved his stories and anecdotes.
Rob Kates I agree. Tom endeared himself to me when he interviewed John Lennon.
What a sweetheart Calvert DeForest was. I really miss seeing him on TV.
There is something so human about this format and these people. I'm gratefully watching it after a long day like it was live.
This is precious, Newhart is still one of the funniest human beings ever, I was a diehard fan of Tom Snyder, of all his tv shows and his radio show when it was broadcast nationally, I lived on the border in México and listened every night in my car on the way to home from my job. Thanks for posting this.
Wow. His opening remarks were quite prophetic
The attacks on Christmas have only intensified.
He really doesn't get why it bothers people. He is totally clueless.
Snyder was one of a kind. He plugged a lot of holes in broad cast time slots for the networks. And people did follow him from show to show to show.
Don, thanks so much for posting this gem from T.S.'s Final CNBC Colorcast. He was a great Broadcaster and a gem of a guy.
I remember loving Tom so much, AS A KID, that I wrote him a letter in 1991 or so (age 12) and got a return message with a signed headshot. I was an odd kid.
Nothing odd about that.
Nothing odd about it at all..I was the same type of kid!
@@ChangingTides777 I'm glad to find out I am not so weird after all!
I still watch these videos every now and again and sit in awe of how brilliant the man was.
But a wonderful, insightful adult. ❤
I could listen to Bob Newhart tell stories all night long. Now that is comedy.
Hilarious that "Jerry" from Indiana is actually David Letterman calling in at 25:09
Here’s a collection of Dave’s prank calls to Tom. - ruclips.net/video/OkH4JV0wpZE/видео.html
Tom Snyder was a legend. What a personality and talent.
I love Calvert "Larry Bud" DeForest, and I was so excited to have found this site where I could see him as himself. Unfortunately, every caller from Indiana to California was auditioning for their own comedy act, giving the guest very little time. Still, I enjoyed seeing Calvert be himself.
Listen again. One was Letterman
The guy from Indiana was David Letterman posing as a rando
@@Symphing12 Of course. That's a long time David prank. I meant the guy identified as Brian in Indiana, which they corrected to Ohio. Geographic error.
@@piesusan17 I was referring to the caller named Brian, who was wrongly identified as being in Indiana.
I love Bob Newhart. One of the greatest ever .
Love Tom. His interviews were always fascinating.
"Jerry" sounds like he could be David Letterman.
Definitely. He used to call into the radio show.

It is David Letterman.
LOL, he threw me! The line wasn't clear, and his voice sounded rather disguised. Thanks for IDing "Jerry from Tipton for me!
" I do, I do, I do for you kids.....and THIS is the thanks I get! "
25:00. That’s definitely David Letterman.
Nobody reads my descriptions.

When I used to make mix tapes, back in the 1970s this songs was just the right length to fit on one side. Great Disco hit.
He was one of the best. No one laughed like him. Maybe Letterman.
Miss Tom.
If only there were a new "TS." It is nice to dream though. LOL. Tom Snyder was simply the best! This was a LIVE show.
Legend of late night
I used to love watching his show!
"Rule #1: Think of something people want. Rule #2: Make it cheap. Rule #3: Sell it for a lot."
Hahaha.
Thank you for mentioning The Hungry I in San Francisco. Enrico Banducci owned this iconic club and launched the careers of The Smother's Bros Jonathan Winters, Mort Sahl, Professor Irwin Corey, Pat Paulson and Phyllis Diller.
This is just great, thanks for posting, Don. Funny to hear Newhart (one of my favorite comedians) say that no one could steal from comics like him, Shelley Berman and Nichols & May, because in Marc Maron’s interview with Berman, he said Newhart stole his man-on-the-phone bit. Apparently he stewed over that for decades!
That pause after Tom asks Calvert if he was close to his mother.
Yeah, I thought DeForest would be much more engaging than he was, but he really had nothing to say through the whole interview.
@@MattRichardsonX He wasn’t an entertainer.
You can hear Calvert sniffling some tears away throughout the caller's next question after the one about his mom. I'm sure she meant well but you can tell that made him very sad. 😢
Shows like this with no AUDIENCE should be brought back. The last one as far as I know was Charlie Rose.
Tom Snyder was the last. You had Jack Paar and Dick Cavett and it was all over.
Watch the pictures fly through the air.
Just had a thought.
It’s too bad that Tom never had Frank Zappa as a guest.
I wish I could see the show he did with Elayne Boosler...the night before this show.
RIP 🌈 Tom
24:58 for "Jerry" from Tipton, IN

Merry Christmas
Lol... I forgot all about the "colortini"
Snyder was referring to Hefner's later TV show. Newhart was on the earlier one.
1:20: "... this triggers the people at the ACLU". I wonder if this is an early use of the term "trigger" in this context. I don't think that term, in that sense, was widely used in 1994.
Back in the day this was on too late at night and I really didn't care for Tom's style. Now, 35 years later, I would love to watch him.
Back in the day this particular show aired on CNBC at 9PM. It was his next show that aired on CBS at 12:35 am.
Added bonus Charles Gordon calls in and he was already hired to replace Tom Snyder.
Watch the pictures fly through the air...Tom Snyder The Godfather of Instagram.

Thanks. He had a great career. I was a big fan. It is ironic since Letterman replaced him in the 12:30 am slot on NBC in 1982, then Letterman hired him to follow his show at CBS in 1995. Supposedly, Johnny Carson did not like Snyder at all. He wanted Letterman to follow The Tonight Show. (Carson wanted Letterman to take over his show too, not Leno, but that's another can of worms).
Pretty jarring to hear Roger Ailes' name at the beginning
well, he wasn´t darth vader back then
Roger became REAL nasty when he got drunk with power when he became involved in politics. I'm betting he was always terrible to women. Once a sleaze always a sleaze. We just never heard about any of it back in the day. And women had no real power, in Hollywood or elsewhere. You spoke up, you got fired. If you wanted to keep on working, you took all the crap, all the groping & just shut up about it.
I don’t know if it’s just this episode or the format of the show, but there seems to be an awkwardness in giving so much time to having conversations with callers instead of the guest. Calvert DeForest was literally just sitting there, with not even a reaction shot on camera, while Tom laughs at crank callers and chats with nice old ladies calling in to ask about songs she can’t remember.
It was like Calvert was a guest listener.
I also wonder how many people sprung 24 bucks for a VHS copy of an episode. They must have been following Calvert’s business advice about having something people want, making it cheaply, and selling for as much as possible :)
Calvert was shown to have very little to say. He was promoting a book he never wrote and likely never even read.
@@dongiller Makes sense. It was also Synder’s last show on CNBC so there was a lot of focus on his goodbyes.
I think much of Calvert’s charm was his hilarious unpolished, bumbling, and natural performances of written sketches and man-in-the-field interviews, not his deep insight or articulation skills.
Still would have liked Synder to ask a couple more questions about specific events at Late Night/Late Show.
Who is that at 43:01?
Kathleen Sullivan.
@@dongiller thank you
In 2024 Bob is the last of his cohort.
Is Calvert's book any good, or is it more of a "Couch Potato Workout" situation?
Chamber of Commerce approved concerning holidays. Chinese New Years?
Is "Jerry" also a crank caller?
Just "Elliot."
Jerry sounds like one, right? Talking about wrestling and such.
I think you Dave is "Jerry," talking about his wife "Linda."
Sorry, I was confusing this with "Elliot" who called Tom with Larry King. From the video collection I put up earlier tonight.
brewer921 - “Jerry” was David Letterman.
TV needs another good interviewer - male or female- in this NON AUDIENCE. format.
There's definitely a more intimate vibe to it, isn't there? More like Radio. With COVID lockdown, we've seen that many hosts don't do as well without an audience. Tom would have been perfect.
Spose Calvert was gay?
I guess so too.
