Thank you, Mr. Giller, for another fantastic piece of history. I'm a huge Letterman fan and I've thoroughly enjoyed so many of his episodes (the NBC days were my favorites), thanks to your decades of painstaking work. Here, you've delivered more great content from two other entertainers I enjoyed. Lots of love and appreciation to The Donz!
I kind of admired him in a strange way. I never understood celebrities who made tons of money but felt like they could never take it easy. Kilborn worked long enough to make enough money so that he'd never have to work again, and then he stopped working. Totally on-brand.
@@dongiller Actually, because Craig Kilborn was the first anchor of The Daily Show, and because The Daily Show has been on the air since 1996, "Your Moment Of Zen" has been a staple of that show since then, and Craig Kilborn created it. Of course, The Daily Show was created by Jon Stewart's former co-worker Lizz Winstead and David Letterman's former co-worker Madeleine Smithberg.
Craig Kilborn was incredible when he was on late night TV. It's too bad that he's not on late night TV anymore, but he's not wrong about how ridiculous it has become.
I dearly and emotionally miss Tom Snyder. Snyder was one of the Mount Rushmore of late night giants next to Carson, Letterman, Allen, and Paar. RIP TS, fire up the colortini, and watch the pictures and the angels in heaven as they fly thru the air.
You re.e. er Steve Allen a d Jack Paar when they each did Tonight? You got a few uears on me. I had plenty exposure to SA afterwards, nut just a few JP appearances as a guest. The main thing I can tell you a out Paar was he quit die to makor censorship. When they told him 'water closet' was verboten, he quit, maybe that same day. I'd put Dick Cavett on Rushmore for sure.
I love Tom Snyder but I can't find any clips of him when he was the news anchor for NBC Philly affiliate KYW Channel 3 from 1965 to 1970 ; he was with us from when I was 7 to12 yrs. old . But I was so glad when he did The Tomorrow Show and later The Late Late Show . Tom Snyder had it all . I miss him so much !
Reminds me how much I miss Tom Synder - listened to him on the radio too - and how much I don't think about Craig Kilborn. I was a fan but seeing this now I don't know why lol
Kilborn is sort of a unique combination of humble+smug and obnoxious, but the latter is mostly an exaggerated, entirely affected version of himself, a complete caricature of himself. Check out his instagram, and remember, it's all tongue in cheek. He got out of the business b/c he had gotten bored of it and he did not want to be pressured into being a political/social commentator. It didn't interest him. He saved up his money, retired early, seems like a good guy.
I loved the LLSwCK. I also liked Tom Snyder (on LLS or any of his other vehicles). Anything else you have of either CK or TS would be awesome. Thanks, Don!
this is gold; ironic that Kilby joked about being worried about Olberman...One reason Kilby got out of the business is that he was pressured to become a political hack and it held no interest to him. He had many traits that were like a blend of the best late night people: some of that mid-west Letterman sarcasm, the suave charm of Carson. Considering that the broadcast gods have been able to turn formerly bald shlub Jimmy Kimmel into a star, Kilby had huge potential. But he did not blow his money, he's doing fine, glad he's back doing some IG/podcast things.
Good interview with two LATE Late show hosts Tom Snyder and Craig Kilborn Too bad you dont see that on current late night TV shows we need late night TV more like Tom Snyder and CRAIG Kilborn and Dave and Jay and Conan and less like the kardashians and me too movement anyway RIP Tom Snyder
I was born in 1990, but I have an oddly specific memory of being six years old and staying with my dad at my uncle and aunt’s apartment for a night (mom and dad were having a brief period of issues that didn’t involve me, as can sometimes happen). I couldn’t sleep, and the TV was on CBS, so I just watched Dave Letterman and then Tom. I believe Sarah Jessica Parker was the guest that night (I wish I could find the episode here on yt). I don’t think I ever caught Tom’s LLS again (watched quite a bit of Kilborn’s), but somehow that event was really formative for me. I could listen to Tom talk all day haha
As soon as he mentioned Garlic Festival I knew somebody was going to end up talking about garlic ice cream ... something most of us would never really want
I love when local industry groups invent a food to make people buy more of an unsexy commodity. My college's dairy science school claimed to invent chocolate cheese, which no one ever tries more than once.
Kilborn's smirky smugness hasn't aged well, has it? Tom, on the other hand, is surprisingly wonderful, even the corny lines are charming, and he always had that sharp edge--he put the shiv in Larry King there.
Relax, @@dongiller... You know I'm not one of those ***holes who makes demands that make you question whether doing this is worth it. I'm just offering "general encouragement." :) If and when you do it? Great!
@@mactheknife7049 Try to understand that when someone says I “need” to spend the next few years digging out tapes currently inaccessible, I tend to resist what I “need” to do. There are so many hours in the day, and I “need” to spend them in a manner in which I choose, not what others feel I “need” to do. I’m at an age where my concern for what others “need” me to do is near non-existent. Especially at these rates. This isn’t an organization where specific paying jobs are allocated to various groups; this is a one-person operation making not a dime. So don’t tell me to “relax” when I’m subjected to what I “need” to do.
@@dongiller Jesus, Don, I'm probably more aware of what you're doing than anyone else who posts here on any kind of regular basis. I get it. You're really, really misreading what I've been saying. So I'll STFU going forward. You do you.
Ah, yes! Snyder & Kilborn: Together! This is awesome! You don't get interviews like this on late night TV anymore, do you? Now, do you happen to have Craig Ferguson's first appearance on Letterman and Craig Kilborn's very first night as the host of The Late Late Show?
It wasn't. Peter Lassally (sp?) has said in interviews that CBS leaned on WWP to cut Tom Snyder loose. Others within WWP have implied that the transition was framed as a retirement so it didn't seem as though Snyder weren't fired not once, but twice, from network late night gigs.
@Neal Cassidy Sure, I suppose Letterman *could have* thrown some weight around to keep Tom Snyder on, but that was never his way, nor was it Snyder's way to want to hang on when he wasn't wanted. By the time CBS was trying to show him the door, Snyder was 63 years old and had eight figures in the bank. In a similar position? I'd have done what he did - thanked Letterman and CBS for the opportunity, fired up a Colortini, and watched the pictures others made as they fly through the air. :)
Mac The Knife Snyder’s entry into that 12:30 slot at CBS came at a time when Dave was the biggest star in late night TV and the LS was still fresh and hot. I think by 1999 Leno had taken over in the whole ratings game (which of course mattered back then) and CBS was probably ready to put a smug dick like Kilborn in to compete with Conan O’Brien. But I largely agree that neither Dave nor Tom would have, in all their midwesterness- tried to fight it at this point. It was tragic cause LLS never beat Conan, even with Kilborn and Ferguson, and Snyder was a unique joy to have on just chatting with stars late at night.
Hi Don! Do you have Lauren Holly’s appearance on Letterman Show from November 1999? I have seen her previous appearances on Letterman, but never the one from 1999. I’ve tried for many years to find that episode, but no luck unfortunately. I enjoy your YT channel. Found many great stuff!
It's interesting to me that pressure to attract younger force early retirement on a guy that attracted me as a teenager in the midseventies. Tom was a journalist newsman first and foremost. Larger than life Tom was the King of no audience no pressure long-form interview. Kilborn was an abortion.
I don't know how any of my comments calling Kilborn an asshole could be any worse than you designating him as "an abortion," but hey, that's RUclips. Late-night "Abortions" are cool, but the word asshole, wow, gotta censor that because it could upset people.
If you watch EP Peter Lassally's fascinating TV Archive Interview, you learn that Kilborn got this job out of politics and Lassally was against the hire. Mainly because he felt Kilborn didn't read or have any interests other than himself. Contrasted with Carson, and Letterman, and Snyder who had a wide range of interests and knowledge and therefore made the best hosts.
What's funnier is how unbelievably unnecessary La Salle was for the last 20+ of his producing career, having essentially politcally positioned himself within the NBC royalty when working with Johnny. Watch any interview with La Salle; boring, empty, talentless, virtually afloat. Amazing to think that an asshole like that would get a job any of us would kill to have.
Lassally was a joke. He didn't get along with Snyder or Kilborn. Snyder didn't want him as his EP. Nothing Lassally says about Kilborn is accurate. Lassally is just a hater.
Jesus, Tom hates this guy. Wonder how they got him to do this. Kilborn is who he is, but he is funny and talented. He made himself a target being characterized as an asshole but it was more his tone then what he said . And truthfully, he is funny.
Imagine "making yourself a target." You mean, he is exactly what he is, a self-important puffed up university frat-boy wannabe pissing in his pants just out of sports broadcasting and praying for the network bigtime. Funny how none of it worked out for him. One wonders what alternate universe you woke up in.
@@GeorgiaOverdrive Does anyone here remember the Crimetime After Primetime TV series "Sweating Bullets" by chance? I swore on my life it was named "Tropical Heat" here in The States but I'm now seeing that it was otherwise named.
@@dongiller A lot of people would be in Nostalgia heaven if they could see more episodes of Tom Snyder . I know I would be . I miss him so much .

Result of a power struggle within world wide pants. Peter Lassally was against Kilborn, loved Snyder and prefer Jon Stewart as his replacement. Rob Burnett picked Kilborn and won out.
"Happiness is seeing Bristol in your rear-view mirror" I wish I could claim Sal Marciano's immortal line but he beat me to it. Spent 2 1/2 years at The Mother Ship and as a single guy 'living' there I can vouch for what Tom said, not only lonely at night but days too. If it wasn't for the access to civilization that I-84 and Merritt Pkwy. afforded going postal might have been an option. When I mentioned to locals working there that I went to 'The City' they assumed it was Hartford. YIKES!
Kilborn really "killed" his career when he & his agent bluffed Letterman's "Worldwide Pants" production company by playing the "i want more money or i'll walk" stunt. Craig Ferguson was a nice successor.
he left mostly because he was tired of the format and didn't want to get into social commentary/politics. He may have asked for more money as an offset for the fact he wasn't that interested in doing it longer, but it wasn't exactly as you describe.
@Gregory Papadopoulos craig ferguson is horrible, only people who dont like killborn are ferguson fanboys. This kind of stuff happens all the time with a person having fanboys and being the cause of somebody else being hated I’ve seen this 150 times
