My wife and I saw George here in Las Vegas in 1997 so this interview means more to me now seeing him here! Every week people say I remind them of him and that's the highest compliment I can ever get! May 12 1937 to June 22 2008 as I always remember his dates! RIP GEORGE! You are missed more today than ever!
Tom Snyder didn't pretend to be offended by George's thoughts in the first few minutes of this video. Instead, regardless if he agreed, just laughed. Snyder was a great interviewer and host.
Anyone who would have been legitimately offended would, quite literally, have been "pretending" too hard. What, could someone's sense of self so fragile they can't stand to have any of life's "givens" challenged...comedically at that? Good lord :-P
In 1976 Tom Snyder was the channel 4 news anchorman in Los Angles with Ross Porter on sports and Kelly Lange as the weather chick ! They were the coolest news crew around. Miss those days….
Not really. He became just an angry old man towards the end. Carlin is the best stand up comic ever in my opinion. But factually he got quite a few things wrong, that people took as facts die to his high intelligence. His career was perfection up to the last few years.
@@tatt4music I'm sure that his old age along with some other stuff played a part in his material and whether it was sometimes biased or not, but I'd like to hear some examples of things he's said/bits/whatever that fit your comment so much because his last specials were Imo as good as the rest
Carlin's straight-faced, unaffected delivery of words showing extreme indifference to human suffering, tragedy and death, is a balanced manifestation of Buddhism and psychopathy, which is dearly missed in our dystopian, apocalyptic times.
great interview.Every aspiring comedian, or hell even artist or musician should watch. Fascinating look into the creative process, and about perseverance and a lot of other things. WOW
Tom Snyder had such an impact on me as a young man with his unique way of conversation that I followed him to Marquette University to study broadcasting and journalism. The guy was really awesome, god bless his daughter and family who keep his memory alive!
Thomas James Snyder (May 12, 1936 - July 29, 2007) was an American television personality, news anchor, and radio personality best known for his late night talk shows Tomorrow, on the NBC television network in the 1970s and 1980s, and The Late Late Show, on the CBS Television Network in the 1990s. Snyder was also the pioneer anchor of the prime time NBC News Update, in the 1970s and early 1980s, which was a one-minute capsule of news updates in prime time.
This interview by (2) of the greatest men in entertainment. Georgie was brilliant and Tom knew the questions to ask and when to intercede with follow ups. One of the very best interviews, ever!
Listening to George is more effective than most NHS therapy. I'd not heard this one. I guess it's sad listening to one guys interviews over again. But you do what works, aye.
at least its free and the best system we have in the world to date..plus its never sad rewatching stuff...its great going to a happy place. Also i do agree with your point as well about therapy :)
@@davidryan0808 Thing is you're better off not being given false hope. Their goal is simply to make you produce the maximum amount of Loosh energy. In a world where we were hunter gatherers or tribes then someone breaks a leg it would be set and the others would help you with your needs. Problems like I've had with complex Genetic GI issues would.not exist or could be treated with hollistic remedies. Like the thyroid gland so often being attacked and becomi ING dependent on thyroid medication. But thanks f ok r your reply and all the best
@@YTcanLetUsDown well that told me indeed and really put it into perspective . you prob guessed I was speaking from a place were I never had to deal with such woes. Thank you for sharing and bringing real into my theory head space..that kinda learning does wake one up to stuff i wouldnt have a clue about.
@Micheal nah its not sad at all bud. I do the same exact thing my friend... No need to proclaim its sad that you listen over and over again. It's not at all.
There is only one of anyone. What makes the difference is how they think --- or the mere fact that they think at all! Carlin was a highly capable thinker.
Whether it's snippets of any recycled material, or real-life stories of his journey to fame, shock & laughter, Carlin's stuff still stands up today. Rest in Peace George.....& thanks my friend.
George would have loved the Trump administration. Not as a supporter but as an illustration of this theory about the breakdown of culture. Trump, knowingly or by accident, has mastered the divide and conquer strategy to retain power. He's got both parties running around like dogs chasing gheir own tails. The events of the Black Lives Matter movement and the handling of the COVID outbreak would have come as no surprise to George. Hd placed the blame equally on the political figures as well as those who voted them into office. George was fair and clear minded when it came to blame. Sadly we don't have social critics on the level of a George Carlin. He'd be equally intrigued by the "cancel culture" movement. As a comic political correctness was the kiss of death. I can only imagine how he might have addressed this issue. No one was too sacred to not get deflated a little, taking them down a few rungs on their moral ladders. George was the man to do it. He is deeply missed.
@Jon I couldn't agree with you more on this sentiment. Trump is a perfect representation of the type of anti-intellectualism that has swept the nation like a malignant virus. He does represent the greed and ignorance that Americans have held as a badge of honor. Yes, you are correct, Donald Trump IS America.
he would have hated Trump's guts. He just got done saying he believes in relationships and in love and in people. Trump is a narcissist clown who cultivates chaos so he doesn't need to stand out as the cause of it. I see your point in that Carlin's semi-dour nihilism does seem to concur with the disintegration of anything involving saving what's left of our environment, but just in terms of loving TRUMP, he would not. Trump had Kathy Griffin nearly arrested for having a rubber head in her act!
I hate the nihilism crap, though I recognize in George the same Irish sarcasm that's in me, but everything else he says or does is gold. I've seen him once in concert in '93---he made ground chuck out of a would-be heckler, it was a thing of beauty, just a verbal death ray, the guy melted like plastic into his seat--I laughed my balls off at his records & TV appearances, and it might be close to never that we see the likes of Him again. Tom Snyder, there's another original, one of a kind gem. Ever notice how many people, who usually squirm in their seats during other interviews, just lean back and breeze through the 25 minutes? Doesn't hurt not having a stupid audience and band.
Tom Snyder often caught flack, but here, he really didn't get in Carlin's way and created enough enthusiasm that Carlin totally responded. Really excellent interview. It bums me out there aren't shows like this anymore.
Well, he used to do "topical" material -- Vietnam War, Nixon, Muhammad Ali vs. the Draft Board, etc. So I guess he changed his approach as time went on.
"The first thing you do when you get to a radio station is to start making audition tapes for the next station." Thank you, Mr. Carlin, you just signed my epitaph.
Thanks for pointing this out John. The source for this video was a VHS tape which also had local news on it. Based on the news and that Tom mentioned Brain Droppings, I determined that it was from 1997 but what must have happened is this interview was recorded a year later on the same tape as the year old news. I'll edit the description.
People should always remember about the people who are antiwar, peaceniks, or whatever hippies you want to label them… At least back in the days, many of these people were former soldiers, and had a lot of the courage that even the most brainwashed pro American soldier had. The only difference was that they thought for themselves and called out wrong regardless, if it were the country, they wants to served and continue to serve and its defiance of corruption.
Agree, Forgot Tom was, Liked them both a good influence on me they were Freethinkers, Questioned, Talented. I watched Toms show more in the 70s, Tomorrow for talk interesting topics. Good History of Tom/Carl Wikipedia. I went in the AF 4 was enough. 🌌
A comic genius & a talk show genius. It doesn.t get any better.
i love utube for this reason..getting to watch ppl like tom snyder is a gift :)
I miss both of these guys so much. Thanks for publishing this.

Tom Snyder and George Carlin WOW.
tom snyder was good - lets his guests answer his questions without butting in
I know! Carlin's talking his radio career and Tom's like, "Oh yeah. When I was in radio...."
Tom Snyder didn't pretend to be offended by George's thoughts in the first few minutes of this video. Instead, regardless if he agreed, just laughed. Snyder was a great interviewer and host.
Anyone who would have been legitimately offended would, quite literally, have been "pretending" too hard. What, could someone's sense of self so fragile they can't stand to have any of life's "givens" challenged...comedically at that? Good lord :-P

@@Changeme12 Kelly was a co-anchor and won an Award for it
Loved both of these men! Their talent is amazing, 25 yrs later and I'm still laughing, wish they hadn't left so soon.
God I miss them both
they broke the mold with George-comedic genius
Both of these gentlemen were the best of the best.
George..the king of intellectual comedy..the best
Tom and George are hilarious! Both are national treasures! Just two dudes having a chat.
George would have loved Covid
He would've had a field day with 2020, into early 2021. The mind reels, at the possibilities!
Damn right George would've loved Covid-19! Ever seen his bit on germs? It's hilarious!
Pfizer is working on a mix of AIDS, COVID, and Bubonic Plague. The sale starts around Christmas.
OHhh my GOODNESS Carlin would have made Covid bearable .... HAaaaa
@@frank2778 pussy masquerading as a free-thinker? I thought so.
im only 17 years old but if only he was alive today man hed have so much more material itd be a field day for him Rip Goerge Carlin 1937-2008
Still miss Tom Snyder. Great interviewer. Great laugh. George was one of the greatest of all time.
Miss both of these gentlemen.
yes we lost a lot of entertainment power
This moment in time, would be the perfect time ever for Carlin !
I wouldn't be surprised if people were saying this hundreds of years from now, during whatever insanity will be going on then.

The jokes write themselves with conservatives. They did then and still now

Two of the best. . .
Tom Snyder was great. Love his laugh
MY FATHER DID TOO...
He stole that laugh from burt lancaster
Sad they are both gone. Both died at age 71
Back when there were real interviews & great guests 🙏 The Snyder laugh though 😁

There is only one of anyone.

Carlin was a highly capable thinker.
That was fun. Thank you.
I miss Tom Synder & his marvelous level headed & honest interviews. That’s nothing like that anymore today.
Like two really good friends who knew how to make each other think and laugh!
Love the old talk shows. The ones today are bad. George and Tom were the best. Just none stop laughs.
Whether it's snippets of any recycled material, or real-life stories of his journey to fame, shock & laughter, Carlin's stuff still stands up today. Rest in Peace George.....& thanks my friend.
Loved carlin when i first saw him on merv griffen show , wonderful.rhino

@@edajungck Completely. Bill Hicks and Carling predicted it all.
the camera crew laughing in the background
Great interview. Two great guys.
Carlin was great. Tom Snyder was so cool . Great interviewer and funny. He had John Lennon on once . Best interview I’ve ever saw.

I'm with you Kenneth.
humans think we're the center of the universe but its a phase
human life is like a sandwich, meaningless but fantastic!
Great story, Kenneth. Thanks for sharing.
You hate the nihilism, yet you can't stop coming back for more, so it's anything but nihilism actually. It's a celebration of fucking life.
I wish he had lived to 94 ....RIP George...and Tom too..
Tom Snyder often caught flack, but here, he really didn't get in Carlin's way and created enough enthusiasm that Carlin totally responded. Really excellent interview. It bums me out there aren't shows like this anymore.
These guys genuinely like each other
I miss both of these wonderful men.
i sure do miss the greatest ever George Carlin
Carlin died at age 71. He never made it to 94.
Tom Snyder died on 7-29-2007 at age 71.
George Carlin died on 6-22-2008 also at age 71.
Too young for both.
He probably couldnt have made it, he didnt give a shit and had heart problems too I think.
Wow this needs more views.
I LOVED TOM SNYDER and I REALLY MISS TOM SNYDER . HE WAS THE BEST IN HUMOR AND ALSO INTERVIEWING !
Well, he used to do "topical" material -- Vietnam War, Nixon, Muhammad Ali vs. the Draft Board, etc. So I guess he changed his approach as time went on.
George would have a field day now.
Funny, they both died at 71 just weeks after their birthdays. Both born on May 12. Synder in 1936; Carlin in 1937. Oooo-EEEEee-oooo!
they knew too much, probably. spooky but it can happen.
didn't make 94 :( ... I'd love to hear what he would have to say in this day and age.
“The ferrets grew into people ….” What a mind.
"The first thing you do when you get to a radio station is to start making audition tapes for the next station." Thank you, Mr. Carlin, you just signed my epitaph.
Love how you can hear the crew laughing
A clear sign everyone in that studio was having fun !
Tom had a great laugh. Even when I didnt know what he waa laughing about I would laugh along
This was most excellent and extremely enjoyable!
Bif Barf!!! OMFG! I almost lost my lunch! This must have been the funniest man ever alive (okay, maybe tied with Robin Williams).😁😂😎
Dave Allan , Connolly etc … many more
"I'm gonna live till I'm 94."
Damn. If that was the case, he would still be alive right now...
10:10 my favorite part
I follow a philosophy inspired by George. Any other Carlinists here?
I love you George,RIP you beautiful man 🥺❤💯❤
when adults were in control of TV
I like to see Mr Snyder laughing. Hahaha
I have that album
Watched this sometimes after work when Conan and Politically Incorrect were over.
George would have had a steady supply of material and entertainment with trump's antics.
tcb mr carlin you where right!
Joyous Noel readers digest
This is why I don’t need cable, excellent guest and host
He would be still carving Trump up like a flambé.
Good Lord ... this intro is food for Steve Bannon. You could play with anarcho-nihilism when it wasn't at the door.
7:12 9:20 lol
anybody else pick up on the "comet movie "? #dontlookup
That UCLA joke made me LOL.
This cannot be in 1997. Must be 1998 as a caller mentioned Monica Lewinsky
Thanks for pointing this out John. The source for this video was a VHS tape which also had local news on it. Based on the news and that Tom mentioned Brain Droppings, I determined that it was from 1997 but what must have happened is this interview was recorded a year later on the same tape as the year old news.

good catch
hahahah
The one and only! : )
I remember when tom had meatloaf on and he kept calling him meatball.
THE PLANET///ENVIRONMENTIST////
Acidic and hilarious
Shock value is completely gone
And the meteor deflection was trialled successfully only this year.
They were both dead within 10 years of this interview. I miss them both terribly : (
Imagine if Snyder kept his mouth shut and allowed Carlin to answer without interruption….
the artificial laughter from Tom, and the look at camera while doing it, no not amused
Pollyanna George
Facetious persona or did he mean it?
If only George would have lived to see Covid :(
tom got better looking as he aged and his hair turned grey
Ohh! When the world could tolerate truth tellers and people could laugh at the absurdities. All gone. The last Prophet had spoken.
People have gotten so greedy....about everything...
Yes is the father the dynasty guy
Carlin's prediction was only off by 23 years.
Schadenfreude
People should always remember about the people who are antiwar, peaceniks, or whatever hippies you want to label them… At least back in the days, many of these people were former soldiers, and had a lot of the courage that even the most brainwashed pro American soldier had.
