The latest entry in the Late Night Saga concerns the friendship between David Letterman and Johnny Carson & Tom Snyder during the changing landscape of late-night television.
NOTE ON AUDIO:
At certain spots in this video, such as 15:00 and 22:33, some devices may not play the audio. I'm not sure what causes the phenomemon, I can hear the audio just fine on my computer and on my phone but some viewers have said it is missing. I would suggest viewing on a different device or switching between speakers and headphones to see if it works better.

I'm just so happy to see that someone else out there had watched an absurd amount of snyder
I only discovered him due to this project, but now I have watched an absurd amount.
@@FanboyFilms you seemed to find far superior copies than the ones I've seen. Full episodes of his shows have proven to be difficult to find for me, unlike most of the other late night hosts. I wonder if masters of any of those shows, especially that not so great ones still exist. Id love to have the magic hour in it's entirety. Or pat Sajak. Any good sources you can share?
No, basically everything I found was on CZcams. Sometimes under a not-so-obvious title. I just had to search a lot. In a few cases I touched up a clip with color correction or tape hiss reduction.
I noticed during this project that while Carson and Letterman are well preserved and still air in repeats (somewhere) that doesn't seem to be true of Snyder, particularly the Tomorrow show. I have started trying to archive everything on YT and any other sites like Dailymotion or Vimeo. A few Snyder clips have been released as DVD extras such as the KISS interview on the KISSology DVD set, or the Hitchcock interview on the Rebecca (1940) DVD. Although the versions I used in this video came from YT.
I only recently discovered the Magic Hour and most clips are pretty low quality. Sajak clips are a little better. It would be neat to find a streaming service with all of them. Can't even find torrents for most of it.
@@FanboyFilms well you did a great job. Your channel is one of the best up here. Do t know of youve seen this but it's a great resource for old defunct talk shows: deadshirt.net/category/tv/talk-show-graveyard/
@@NormieNormieNormie thanks, that's a pretty good site! I was wanting to take a look at the Dennis Miller Show at some point.
I have a feeling that Tom Snyder would have a great podcast if he was alive today.
I'd second that idea
He was a real genuine fellow with the type of intrigue and tensity a lot of people don’t seem to have anymore. I never met the fellow but I miss him deeply.
Tom Snyder seems like such a legit, genuine & decent, caring man, especially for the craft of producing great television.
I felt bad for him, it seems pretty clear they were trying to turn his thoughtful show into another Tonight Show, which he couldn't have been more clear about not wanting
Good thing you was completely wrong about late night television. He thinks people watch TV all day from 10:00 a.m. are you kidding me?
@@YodatheHobbit I think he had a low opinion of most TV, and was trying to do something more cerebral. I really respect that he just walked away, to do radio - so he meant what he said, and the money didn't sway him
@@YodatheHobbit oh yeah I'm sure with a name like that you've never sat in front of a screen all day.
And of course second fiddle Rona Barrett wanted first billing before Snyder, typical thing for an unappreciative thankless woman to do.Vanity always getting in the way of a woman's otherwise clearer thinking.
This was an absolutely wonderfully-made documentary. You can tell how much care FanBoyFilms has for the subject. Instead of doing what most smaller channels would do...(write a long script where he reads it fast, and never stops talking), he spent time finding all the relative clips, and let the actual news and hosts narrate the story, occasionally punctuated with his own narration to guide the whole thing. Very professional, A+ design, and I'm now a happy new subscriber.
Thank you! I try to intrude on the narrative as little as possible.
@@FanboyFilms it's really appreciated. These are so informative and interesting.
@@FanboyFilms BRAVO!!!
Very well done indeed
Absolutely. I've watched all the late night documentaries (they truly are documentaries) on this channel just tonight, this is a fantastic find. I even peeked back at his Star Trek mashups from many years ago, hilariously done! I am eager for what he comes out with next.
Carson is obviously a legend but Tom was so genuine and a real class act and should get more credit than he does for his contributions to television as we know it
I was introduced to TS's work when he was on ABC Radio and then his move to CNBC was epic! It was a great show too! Then, his historic move to CBS was a happy landing and ending to his marvelous career. A true gentleman indeed.
@@johnsjohnson448if I remember correctly, David Letterman asked Tom Snyder to follow him. That’s was awfully nice of him.
I can’t believe I just watched a 54 minute video about talk show hosts, awesome
This is more entertaining than reality tv
@@Jaheartsjonas agreed
Comedy Room damn right, besides Conan, Fallon, Kimmel, and Colbert all are the same to me.
Don’t get me started on Trevor Noah
I wanted more,
Especially a bit more about the feuds with the late night wars.
Could do with a part 2
Now go watch "the late night wars" and his other videos. All really good and oddly entertaining.
Letterman really is (for better or worse) responsible for bringing sarcasm and "smart assiness" into mainstream TV comedy. Even the original SNL was more satire than sarcasm. Dave paved the way for shows like Roseanne and the Simpsons and Married with Children. Now, of course, TV is nothing but sarcasm... even the news.
Letterman was also self-effacing. However, after his heart surgery he was a very different person on-screen, meaner.
@@seanwelch71 - Yeah, I feel he was like he was meaner after losing the Tonight Show. I never felt his show was very good after that. Very cynical and relying on the same few bits over and over.
No. Steve Allen did it first. Letterman just copied what he did.
@@TELEVISIONARCHIVES - Steve Allen was still "happy-go-lucky" though. Didn't seem like he hated everyone.
@@joeyday576 perhaps but I'm at David Letterman twice and he was really full of himself not a very approachable guy at all
The Lennon interview is one of the most insightful soft-spoken moments of television. You couldn't as canddid as that. Tom Snyder is underrated.
It's nice to see someone talking of Snyder.
So true I wish we had someone like him today , but society has changed forever . It always impressed me as Tom Snyder was always the bridesmaid ,but never the bride . May he rest in peace
Mr. Snyder always used to say how "The John Lennon Interview" was the most popular with the audience, but that he, himself was not especially impressed with it.
Yeah he didn’t know what he was talking about he didn’t know The Beatles music at all, he thought of them As Hard Days Night mop tops.
TS did not care for the Lennon interview. He said that it got a good rating but did not mean much to him at the time that he did it. Tom was terrific.
Mr. Snyder is most remembered for this segment but truthfully, never really cared for it. Watch his appearance on "Later with Bob Costas." It is a wonderful two episode featuring TS.
This desperately needs chapters so let's crowd source them.

I was born 20 years too late to see Snyder’s show but it seems like a much better late night show than most of the stuff on now
It was just Tom and a guest. Dark room. Laid back but also serious. Look him up on here; some good clips.
Much better than Seth Meyers at least.
It depends on whether you wanted comedy or news at that hour. If you wanted comedy, Snyder was painfully boring; Conan was a breath of fresh air.
Johnny Rotten on Tomorrow is TV and Rock and Roll legend
How about Dick Cavett?
Watching the interview with Tom Snyder just makes me realize how brilliant Dan Akroyd's SNL impression was.
People carrying guns confronted racial justice protesters at least 100 times since widespread protests began in May, The Times found. We reviewed hundreds of news reports, videos and social media posts and found that police officers regularly gave these armed groups a pass: czcams.com/video/Sa9_hJVmav8/video.html
Listening to this video and Tom's voice, I wouldn't be surprised if Hugo Weaving based Agent Smith's voice in The Matrix on Tom. The resemblance is uncanny.
I was in high when Letterman's daytime show started. My stoner buddies and I would cut school and watch it at our friend's house who lived close by. When he got his late night show, I was in college. My friends and I would gather in the common area and watch it every night. It's hard to imagine now, but there was nothing else like it on TV. Carson and the Tonight Show were for our parents and grandparents. Letterman was the first time there was a show like it that was for us. We worshipped Letterman, his comedy and his outlook influenced a whole generation of 80s and 90s kids
Johnny Carson, Tom Snyder , and David Letterman, WERE late night. Nobody comes CLOSE to those three. They were GOLD. There WAS a time when we all looked forward to late night TV. It was an EVENT every night. We will truly never see their like again. Three incredibly talented, unique, and special men. I miss looking forward to watching them every night, very, very, much.✌
I always liked Tom Snyders honest approach even as a kid watching the late late show i enjoyed it i loved hiw genuine he was and it really was about Tom he really put 10000 percent into his work
Thank you for your testimony granpa ☺️
Thank you so much for making this video. I have no idea why I, a 28 year old dude in Australia who never watched Johnny Carson or Tom Snyder and only caught the tail end of David Lettermans career has such a fascination with 20th century American late night talk shows. Am currently reading Bill Carters books and finding this video was a real treat. Keep up the great work.
Hey, it's nice to find another young Australian who's interested in this stuff for no clear reason. I thought I was alone.
@@HOTD108_ haha, it's definitely a niche interest here isn't it. I remember watching Jay and Conan on The Comedy Channel back in the early 00's when I was about 10-12 years old..
@@HOTD108_ I’ll join onto this party
Same but in Canada
Great to hear! When David moved to CBS in 1993, it was a BIG deal! It was an exciting era. Television was still BIG and Dave was a BIG Television Star!
I am not old enough to remember the Tomorrow Show on NBC with Tom Synder, but when David Letterman moved to CBS in 1993 I thought it was so classy of him to bring back Tom Synder as the original host of the Late Late Show taped at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. It was a very good show following Late Show with David Letterman.
There was no "3's a crowd" when Carson was alive. He was ahead of the pack, and would still be today. No doubt. Classy guy.
Unless you're Joan Rivers...
@ ce christine Well said. There was Mr Carson and then there was everyone else. The only one that I think kinda came close but still not quite in the same breath was Merv Griffin.
@@tdunph4250 today humor is smutty, rude, and just not funny. At least these guys could tell joke that was off color and not would be rude. True Kings of their crafts.
In year 29 it was three. The ratings were slipping and he was pushed out.
Whoever came up with that Three's a Crowd title couldnt have come up with a greater misnomer. Being alive back then (and old enough) to appreciate the three late-night giants every night was a thing to remember and to (years later) wistfully treasure. The lifespan overlap of these three shows didnt last long enough in
my opinion, but it was a nightly block of enjoyable quality TV, and I was lucky enough to have been there every night as I came home from my afternoon job.
Dear God…..I so appreciate the talent that made this documentary! I’m in my mid-60s, and all three of these broadcast giants had an impact on me at some point in my life, for which I am grateful. Regarding Jay Leno? I don’t mean to dismiss his talent, but I was never able to connect through the screen with him, quite like Carson-Snyder-Letterman. Bravo-Zulu, gentlemen…..well done on producing this video…..it was an hour well-spent!
It was refreshing to see someone put footnotes at the end of their show.
Is amazing how you can make a narrative with just clips from old shows
that's all a documentary is.
@@samaraisnt not really. Most documentaries consist of footage shot by a director and assembled into a narrative. This is a retrospective moreso than a documentary, and it's very well done
The thing about Johnny leaving, it was really the end of my childhood. He ended the Tonight Show a few weeks before I graduated high school in 1992. I grew up watching Carson. My mom watched him every night and when I couldn't sleep (which happened often) or if I were sick, I would sit beside her on the couch and watch Johnny. I literally grew up on that couch, sitting beside my mother watching the show. I'll never forget it.
Generations of people like you and I watched Mr. Carson. My Uncle Ted was a teacher and would always grade his student's papers while watching "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." My other Uncle Carl who was born in 1900 always watched every night too. LOL.
At 13:30 you can see the moment here where Johnny really took to Dave. That joke here from Dave really tickled Johnny, and if you could make Johnny laugh like this, you knew you were going to be a success. This is the moment I believe when Johnny started to really like Dave's humor.
What a great documentary! So much information I never knew.
I don't mind your narration, which your newer videos don't have; they're both great!
As someone who hasn't lived the late night era and who is not American, I love your videos. It really shows the care you guys have for broadcast.
Letterman must have seen something in Tom Snyders format as he had him on the Late Late show under the worldwide pants corporation
No, that was just him apologizing for bumping him off in 1982.
it was what America needed, something honest and thoughtful
Dave loved TS's "Tomorrow Show." He talked about it constantly whenever Tom was on his show. Robert "Morty" Morton worked on "Tomorrow" too and both were huge fans of TS.
Craig Ferguson and Conan are the only hosts who were even close to being in Letterman's league. With both of them gone, late night tv is worthless
This is great but I was hoping ud cover the aspects of Leno vs letterman.
How basically Leno/nbc put it into the papers that Leno would take over Carson before anything was announced or spoken to sabatoge letterman and carson.
Carson wasn't asked by nbc of his opinion nor did he decide to retire on his own and ofc favored letterman to takeover.
Also Leno would hide in closets listening in on executive conversations so he would have the inside info to persuade nbc to pick him.
As norm macdonald said, Leno out foxed king Carson, letterman and conan.
He has another video that covers just that
Watch the Late Night Wars Part II: Leno vs Conan. It goes into the Tonight Show civil war
Al Rrenoir what
@@HarmonySword not into the details that I mentioned. That's about conan not letterman and I've seen that too.
@Blood0cean It still served as a good prologue as it did cover Letterman/Leno a bit. OP did mention he would do that in detail next after a few short videos.
This video is an absolute masterpiece. This is what CZcams was meant for.
It has also made me the biggest Tom Snyder fan, as I now get incredibly excited whenever he briefly pops up in documentaries
I remember watching Dave Letterman daytime show
Me too. I thought it was hilarious, and was sad when they cancelled it.
@@0311Mushroom I watched it too.
Dave was wrong for the 10 A.M. timeslot, but perfect for the late night hours.
I feel privileged to say that I grew up in a world where Carson was late-night entertainment, and Cronkite was the trusted voice of news.
You are privileged indeed, Mr. SuperPussyFinger
@Hank3four Cronkite was a Satanist? Never heard that one.
Also a world when Hugh Downs woke America up, Jim McKay hosted the Olympics, Curt Gowdy called most other major sports events, and Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Burnett kept America home on Saturday nights.
@@altfactor And Johny Most ?
This channel is very slick and professional while still being personal and accessible. I'll be excited to root for you!
Shut up noob
I was going to wrtite the same!!!! This channel is so good! The writing, editing, holly smokes!
never heard of Snyder or his show but damn he was badass lowkey
When Lettermen went on Late Night. I just started staying up later
I've seen many of these clips separately because I'm such a fan of these broadcasters, but to compile them in a narrative like this - well done!
This video is well done and researched. As someone who grew up in the 1970’s and was in college in the 1980’s, David Letterman was my generation’s late night host and Tom Snyder was someone who did great long-form interviews. Great job on this.
I was initially reticent to watch another take on this whole thing but let me say this was a joy to watch and it came from a different place. It focused on different things and a lot of the clips were new to me. Bravo and thank you. At the end of the day, those three wanted to be top tier broadcasters… and they were. 🙏
The editing work on this channel is incredible. I can't imagine the work it took to gather and cut all of this footage. As someone too young to have any memories of many of these stories this genuinely feels like watching along in real time
This is OUTSTANDING work! TS was simply terrific. He was a pioneer, world class broadcaster, and a very kind gentleman. Johnny, Dave and Jay all ruled Late Night when Late Night Television was singular and BIG! Thank-You for your dedication, and for sharing!
watching tom and dave age through this video is so sad :( tom was a legend, luckily david is still with us.
Another fantastic installment!
I'm curious if you'll be covering Craig Ferguson at some point during this series. He came in and shook up the late night formula, deconstructing it and making a mockery of the kind of cookie cutter approach to these kinds of shows. That Larry King was a staple on his show is also fascinating.
This is why I'm glad there's a U-tube. Great job. This moved me. I escaped reality for a while and was right back in that happy place again.
This documentary style video is very well made. Good job sir!
agreed!!!
Larry Sanders Show is hilarious. One of best comedies ever.
I never knew about Tom Snyder but he does seem like an intelligent interviewer/host that I would have enjoyed watching. Amazing video as always, I'm pretty sure you're the de facto youtube historian on Late Night history
I watched Snyder's Late Late Show in the early 90s whenever I could. It was always great.
As someone who is a survivor of the collateral damage of the talk show wars, I was going to say this is really top notch! I thought only watch five minutes, But I ended up watching it straight through! Nice job
What a fantastic, well-put together retelling of their history. Well done mate!
Tom Synder, absolute legend
Always radiated the personality of someone you'd be having a drink and a cig with while just having a chill time but you'd always remember.
I was born in 1965 and often had television as a babysitter, all three men were a part of my life from childhood well into adulthood. I could not be more impressed with this documentary, it feels to me like it really captures the spirits of all three and tells anyone who might be unfamiliar with them exactly what they'd need to know at a bare minimum, kind of a "Best of Late Night - 101" course. For me personally the Snyder parts were especially enjoyable, I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. Having said all that I will now go fix myself a colortini and watch the pictures as they fly through the air. Well done!
Tom calling Johnny Carson ‘John’ seems like the most subtle power move I have seen in a while.
There was some weird vibes during that segment
Tom doesn’t go by “Tommy,” that would be juvenile and he was a man of gravitas and dignity and he saw other men he respected as something similar.
@@chucksolutions4579I thought I'd read once that Carson preferred to be called Johnny so someone calling him John was kind of a dig.
3years but what a fucking beautiful well put piece, it all was so beautifully told through your editing and timings. Fucking masterclass goossshhhhhhh
I always liked Tom Snyder. When I was a kid, I would always be fascinated by his guests and how cool Tom seemed. There will never be another show like this, or another Carson for that matter. I'm glad I got to experience this era before it faded away.
It’s crazy that Johnny Carson had his very last television appearance on Dave’s show. 11 years before he died.
Great video!!! I was born in 1977, so I grew up with the end of Carson, the prime of Letterman's career and I really enjoyed Tom Snyder when Letterman put him on CBS after his show on that network.
I had serious insomnia my whole life, including as a young kid, so I was the rare child who was regularly awake to see these shows in grade school and beyond.
As a 6, 7, 8, etc. year old, these shows made it bearable to be awake at such a late hour when I had to wake up in a little bit for first grade or fourth grade or eighth grade or high school or whatever. I was tired as hell in the morning but it was worth it when recounting the previous nights jokes to my friends, who thought this stuff was frigging hilarious!
In more recent years, I've gone back and sought out hundreds of hours of clips of all three of these shows; some I remember seeing way back when and many more that were brand new to me. From Johnny's down home persona to Dave's more modern snarky humor to Tom Snyder's more in-depth interviews (not without great humor) with such classic guests as speculative fiction impresario Harlan Ellison, the boys from KISS, the creators and actors of Star Trek, all kinds of writers and even interviewing his WorldWide Pants boss David Letterman.
(Can you tell Snyder's interview style was my favorite?)
But Johnny Carson was the original classic. A funny man who I could watch with my parents and feel comfortable even as a pre-teen. And David Letteeman made me feel cool as I got older, with his collegiate humor and whip smart delivery. Snyder wrapped it all up with a mixture of intellectual dialogue and goofy humor and a cigarette.
Thanks for making these videos. They're a great walk down memory lane and I even learn something new as well. They're entertaining, informative and just plain fun!
Wow, I had no clue about Tom Snyder.
I love how he invited you to imbibe a colortini before the first break.
dude i love this. love watching stuff that is so good 54 minutes just flies.
Crazy to see Tom passed away in 2007. He was so awesome always a truth-teller zero BS. A humble trail blazer on TV
Love the clips from “The Late Shift” movie! A must see for any late night fans
I still miss Carson and Letterman. I grew up watching Letterman from 1984 until his retirement. Although I never saw too many of Tom Snyder's shows, my favorite interviews have been with his and John Lennon and the clip of Ace Frehley's laughing
always cracks me up.
Tom Snyder has some great interviews with some amazing people from back in the day. I wasn't aware of history though so this is pretty interesting
Tom was great. He seemed to truly care about people.
Omg David giving him the chair was so cute lol!!!!!! No other word to describe it. That was so giddy cute
So is Tom Snyder the father of the long form interview that is common today with podcasts? And to do it on network television in the 70’s on a medium that is running on attention deficit is impressive. We can also see Tom was a man of integrity who cared more about a quality product and intelligent conversation than the bright lights, studio audience and the glitz and glam.
I LOVED the Tom Snyder radio show!
The suits must have really hated Dave to pick Leno over Carson’s pal. Great video. Lots of good and new (to me) info. Thanks.
David did himself no favors in that - even Carson was largely polite to management (until they turned against him at times) but Letterman was always 100% against NBC management, indeed when he moved to CBS after a few years he was annoying CBS management - he seemed to have a tendency to annoy all management wherever he worked. David should have bit his lip, kept quiet, and not annoyed them. He didn't. This was why Leno was chosen.
@@johnking5174Peter Lasalley said he tried to get Dave to play nice,but it didn't work.😊😊
This was a terrific period in Late Night Television History. All Greats!
One of the late night hosts I thoroughly enjoyed was Bob Costas. He was intelligent and regarded his audience with the same estimation.
He was always very knowledgeable and well-studied on any guest that he had on, and his relaxed interview style always reflected that. And he always respected whomever the guest was.
He never allowed the conversation into sleazy or tawdry steas. When his guests began to take the conversation in that direction, he would always gently move it back to something more thoughtful.
His first love was sports, especially baseball. Life to him was a baseball game. But he was adequate to any area of discussion that he was interviewing. And he was genuinely interested.
He did it all well in a half hour. When he went off, I missed seeing his program, but I guess the show ran it's course.
His late night viewing was always something to look forward to...and to remember so well afterward. I just thoroughly enjoyed his program.
I still felt that Bob’s interview with Vince McMahon was compelling to say the least, and his best on his late night program. Bob made Vince play on the defensive the whole time while keeping his cool. The mark of a great interviewer.
@@cityhawkBob can't say much. He's been just as much of an asshole as Vince could be.
watched this atleast 5 times and i could watch david talk about johnny carson all day.
I grew up on all of these programs and you captured the mood of all three tv giants. Many thanks.
There are a few independent documentarians on CZcams that produce films/videos that are completely brilliant and deserve larger audience's. One is CZcamsr "breathless345"'s series on the Lennon/McCartney songwriting team and McCartney career retrospective; another is "fivewattworld"'s series on the history of electric guitars and amps. Fanboy Films' Late Night TV series has been incredible and deserves a wide audience. It's incredible what these producers are creating independently. Excellent job...
I love the absolute slight of just brushing over Leno 😂.
Hahahaha. I straight up started watching this again… just watched it yesterday. Tom was drawing me in with those eyebrows and the voice again.
I clearly remember when during the Leno/Letterman late night war the Larry Sanders Show did an episode where Dave and Larry were fighting over getting Tom Snyder to follow their shows, then Dave actually got Tom to host the Late, Late Show.
Extremely well-done documentary. So nice to see Tom Snyder get some credit for his great work. I remember the thrill I had when I was able to speak with him on his open phone hour on his radio show one evening in 1989. Still miss him to this day.
Mr. Carson was the "King" for a reason. However, each were uniquely qualified, talented, and entertaining in their own right. Superb communicators who instinctively knew how to connect with their audience. Thanks for sharing.
tom snyder is so awesome, he, carson, letterman, and cavett were such incredible hosts and interviewers
Thank you so much! As a Boomer, this was a great nostalgic trek. T'was the Golden Age of TV when the "lively art of conversation' was the norm. Now, in contrast, we're stuck with degreed nit-wits spewing leftist propaganda.
I really did like Tom Snyder in the format he had after Johnny Carson. It was both entertaining and intellectual. The show was very calming after the funny antics
of the fast paced Tonight show.
This is definitely my favorite video about late night, i keep coming back to this. I love the way you edited this, showing clips from the past. Thank you.
Interesting. Not the typical 'us vs them' narrative. They all were wonderful and provided their own flavor. Great, tight, quality clips. Superb script and driving narrative. Thank you.
Great editing!
Flowing narrative!
Overall, valuable experience
This video is incredibly well put together and tells an extremely compelling story of 2 men I had heard of and 1 I had not. You have earned a like and a new subscriber and I cannot wait to see what this channel continues to put out. Keep up the good work!
This might be my favorite video on CZcams. Brilliant.
This may be my favorite comment. Genius!
@@FanboyFilms Thank you sir. This video simultaneously got me into into Letterman, Snyder, and Carson. Such a well made documentary, I've lost track of how many times I've watched it.
This is really well done. I wish there were more late night documentaries out there like this. I hope you keep doing them.
The Mount Rushmore of late-night I feel lucky to have had them all in my late nights.
Absolutely great video…I learned so much about late night TV thanks to this. Additionally, it’s just great to see a thorough exploration of the space in TV these three men inhabited. Best of all was the respect and friendships that developed between Carson and Letterman and Snyder and Letterman. The quality of your work is impressive!
That Katie Couric interview, lol. The jeans, the knees up, the weird desk...That was certainly a phase in late night interviewing that died.
I keep coming back to this documentary. It's got to be one of the best documentary on CZcams.
That was perhaps the most surprisingly easy to ingest hour of my life. I expected more drama and turbulence and now I have much more appreciation for Tom Snyder especially. Incredible job on this. Well done.
Very nicely done. Thank you for putting this together. I miss those quiet nights of conversation with Snyder. Loved his show.
distant memories of a strange place
Big Tom was great! I used to come home late at night (1970s) from working at the 7UP Bottling Co. and watch Tom. Those were the days.
You did a FANTASTIC job with this, Fanboy. I'm a late-night junkie and didn't think I had a lot to learn about this saga, but I learned a lot here. Great job breaking down the timeline and curating the clips. Congratulations!
Congratulations on this wonderful video. I really appreciate the great Late Night-themed content you create.
I watched Tom Snyder on his 80s incarnation of the CBS show, when I was allowed to, I was in elementary school. It was over my head and I think it’s important for television to be over your head sometimes, not every show has to be dumbed down to your level.
Awesome documentary/ collection of clips! Thank you !!
EXCELLENT video! Top notch, very well done.
This is so well made. Thank you so much! I LOVE videos like this about topics like this!
This was amazingly well crafted and put together. Thank you.
Here in the Netherlands a "late night" talk show starts at 10:30 or even earlier. After that we go to sleep.
