He got high. He refers to them as "The Dead".

When he laughed during an interview, it was clear he was genuinely amused, not just being polite. No guest ever went on the Tomorrow show expecting to be coddled. We could use a replacement, methinks. RIP

I didn't watch him too much, it was usually past my bedtime.
I do remember him talking to Ralph Bakshi & telling him to quit picking his nose on camera. I thought he was a pretty hip guy for somebody close to my dad's age.

I enjoyed him on TV and radio. One night on his radio show he was interviewing Leon Redbone. Leon kept giving 1 or 2 word answers and Tom, not too politely, laid into him. I had never heard a talk show host belittle a guest like that. Leon straightened up and it was a pretty good show.

Snyder was a terrific antidote to most everything else at the time. I had started coming to the US on vacation in '75 and I got really hooked on his show. His mannerisms, the machine-gun laugh, the smoking, the weird remarks...all so Non-Carson.
Apart from his all-time classic with Manson, the interview I always remember is the one with Sterling Hayden. Hayden had a full beard at the time and was talking about living on a boat, reminiscing as if the camera was not there at all. He talked about smoking pot, his view on life, and Snyder just let it roll, appreciating his words. That's interviewing, not just pushing the ad time. Wherever he is, I hope he's had a colortini and is watching our messages flying through the air. Goodnight, Tom, and thanks.  Best, C.
