- Tom Snyder, who passed away in 2007, was a broadcast legend who has deep connections to the David Letterman mythos.
For years he followed Johnny Carson's Tonight Show by hosting 'The Tomorrow Show,' a long form conversation television program featuring world class panelists from entertainment, politics, and pop culture. David Letterman was a dedicated viewer of the program and made multiple appearances on the show as a guest.
When 'Late Night with David Letterman' began it replaced the Tomorrow Show, and Tom continuing his broadcasting career, worked on multiple projects, including his radio/television show on CNBC.
In 1994 when it was time for David Letterman to pick the first host for the show that would follow Late Show with David Letterman, Dave knew who he wanted, and on January 9th 1995, The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder was born.
This episode of The Letterman Podcast is hopefully our first of many episodes focused on Tom. We are very pleased that his daughter Annie has joined us for a really nice conversation about her dad, and she shares insights on many of the things we love about Tom, and hints at a few upcoming projects based around him and his incredible body of work. She has also given us her blessing to show footage of Tom and his programs as well, for which we are very grateful. We also show footage of the press conference announcing Tom's move to CBS as well. The audio on that is a little lower because the footage is old.

TS is such a legend / genius (esp. in context w / longform podcasts so pervasive / popular today)... So many legendary interviews - what a catalogue.
Yes! How great was it when Annie dropped the bombshell that these episodes will be put out in podcast form? Cannot wait to subscribe to that!
I loved Tom. This was great.
Cannot thank you enough for watching and are delighted you enjoyed it.
Hey, this was wonderful to see Tom Synder, back in time. Tom was a great person on TV, in all his formats. A wonderful conversationalist. He had a great sense of curiosity, and had a wonderful manner with his guests. Thank you for this episode.
It was an absolute pleasure. Thank you for letting us know :)
This was a great episode. I am glad you were able to incorporate video clips and stills into this. I saw Tom as having some similarities to Dick Cavett, both of them being masters of the long form interview. The Late Late Show with Tom also had some things in common with Later with Bob Costas. Both had no sidekick, studio audience or band. The only response to the show that was audible was from the crew. I appreciate that The Letterman Podcast looks at the whole spectrum of the Worldwide Pants history, and The Late Late Show was an important part of that. Thanks for including that clip of Tom "flipping the bird" as news anchor, never saw that. One thing that Snyder fans may enjoy was his combative interview with Howard Stern when Tom filled in for Bob Costas.
You know, we wanted to ask Annie about the Stern stuff, but intentionally saved things that might be featured in some of the future projects she spoke of. It will be a lot of fun to have her back and dive into that stuff when the time is right.
44:28 Well, as Tom Snyder would say, "We're number 1!"
lol. Exactly.
If you saw the Julia Child movie then you know that she viewed her being parodied by SNL (Dan Akroyd played the role of Julia) as a sign that she was a success.
Absolutely.
Bob Dole loved Norm Macdonald’s impression as well.
It was also fun to see Norm attempt to parody Dave.
@@thelettermanpodcast I recall how animated Bob Dole could be about Norm. Senator Dole was a great one for not taking himself seriously.
Tom created the long-form conversation format? What about Cavett?
@@marksobolik8943 Great point. Cavet was in many respects, perfect counter programming for Carson because while there was still comedy and ‘variety’ his show featured more intellectual conversation as well.
We had him on our show and hope to do something with him in the future as well.
I was in my teens when Snyder was on (after Dave), but I really liked Tom's style even back then. There was something calm, cool and collected about Tom in contrast to the zaniness of Conan and Dave and phoniness of Jay.
We could not agree more. But imagine if we could….woah…
