Thats a shame.I loved the Tomorrow Show when I was a kid.I always felt like I was privy to some secret,adults only information when I watched his show.I liked that he always tried to be genuinely interested in what they had to say,and would often call a guest on just showing up and mailing in the interview to shill some product.
Does anyone remember the show back in '79,when he had that asshole DJ on who held the Disco record buring after a baseball game?The guy comes on,and he's sitting there with Meatloaf,trying to force him to break a copy of Bad Girls(Donna Summer)?Meatloaf refused to break any records,saying he did "Hair" in Germany with her.I gained a whole new respect for Meatloaf,even if I dont care much for his music.

I loved his radio show. It was amazing. He was an excellent interviewer and I loved the guests he had on. He touched my life and will be missed by many.

Watched his late night show in the 70's every night. He was smart and entertaining. A real original. Sorry to hear about this.
Here is an interview with Tom and David Letterman. Letterman was a big fan of Tom's work on late night TV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H258QOit8qM Snade

I used to watch his show nearly every night. He did great interviews. I remeber when Dan Akroyd started doing his impression on SNL and Snider had him as a guest doing sort of a dualing Snider.

I too enjoyed his wit as a teenager and would look forward to the show after the Tonight Show.
I guess we are all getting older!

Great interviews while he smoked like a chimney. I will never forget the one with Charles Manson. He kept saying, "Get off the space shuttle Charles" or something like that.

I don't think Tom was quite up to Ken Kesey & Jerry Garcia, though...

Tom Snyder on the Tomorrow show was the reason I bought my first VCR in Feb 1978. RIP.

Another one of those unique individuals who basically told the world to fuck off, I'm doing it the way I want to do it.
Not too many left.
