I watched Tom as a kid on the Tomorrow Show then later in my 20s he was on nighttime radio. Didn't catch the Late Late show because I didn't have the channel. Tom was the best interviewer ever to grace the airwaves. I don't think any guests were nervous about going on unlike other shows. Just pure class and I miss him.
I found Tom as a teenager one night alone in my bedroom. I was drawn to his voice and his candor. Everynight that summer weekday I stayed up to watch but, mostly to listen. He opened up a world I never dreamed of. Thank you!!! Keep posting!!!
I was a kid in the 1970s and liked staying up late and was so happy when the the Tomorrow show with Tom Snyder came on after Johnny Carson in 1973 because before that the TV station would actually go off the air after Carson so there was nothing to watch.
@@BartholomewSmutz ......your username sounded oddly familiar and I googled it. Then it all came back to.me.....he was Linda's motorcycle riding friend.
Wow! This interview is very insightful. Thank you for this. These are great men and have great minds. How I wish we have these people today. They are truly missed.
Wow. I’m a fan of George but I didn’t know Tom Snyder. What a voice!. What a way to interact with George. He made of that interview a very a pleasant conversation. Now I’m going to have to find more about Tom. What a difference between his show and today’s late night shows.
My late wife and I had disparate tastes in our TV shows...but late at night.....Tom Snyder was always a shared experience...He was full of himself, but in a charming way...and just a fine interviewer!
george was so brutally honest, his take on drugs is very insightful, without all the idiotic stereotypes and public announcement messages, he just tells it like it is, was. as an artist you do use it as a lift, times when i was doing labor work, it became so much easier getting thru the day high, work almost became fun, without it, it was pure drudgery. i never understood people who go to "work" happy about what they're doing. straight. altho there are advantages in blue collar work, like being outside, being away from structure, rigidity. tried the office thing and it was impossible, all the politics and stupid rules... i once got wrote up for candy at my desk, i forced them to write "m & m's" as the reason for my write up. and taking drugs on that job wouldn't help.
Tom Snyder was a total class act, I was a high school kid at this time and his style was so refreshing and made intellectualism cool and interesting. Love you Tom!
I didn't want this to end, with tears in my eyes, I watched Tom for many years 70s and on, I loved every moment, I loved George too, his view of America was 100% correct, I wish both were still with us today, I'm sure they would have plenty to say and be disgusted with what goes on now.
it's really interesting to me the way he phrases the split up of his mom and his dad, "...actually she was more *dramatic* than that, she actually *ran away from him* when I was two months old..."
"Carry money -- it's easier!" I agree 100%, but that horse has left the barn. Half the places you go into today won't even accept money -- you have to pull out a credit card for a cup of coffee or a beer.
In 1997 debit cards were still a new thing. Now, in my opinion, they're more convenient than cash. And credit cards are much faster than in 1997, too. You rarely have to sign for an everyday purchase now and they're not manually running it through one of those big bulky readers.
George was in the Air Force required to follow orders, many that didn't make sense. He was such a wild, crazy guy who marched to the beat of his own drum. I so would love him tell what life was like for him while in the service.
Strangely, not only was Tom Snyder and George Carlin both born on May 12th, but they were born only one year apart (Tom was born on 5/12/36 and George was born on 5/12/37), they both died at the age of 71 and only one year apart (Tom died on 7/29/07 and George died on 6/22/08). Life is so nuts!
My favorite Carlin line which I find to be so true: When you're born into this world you're born into a Freak Show, and if you happen to have been born in the U. S. you have a front row seat to the Freak Show. 😊

Oh my God. Thinking about washing the individual blades of grass. I guess cocaine and OCD don’t mix. Imagine having ADHD and OCD. Rin is basically synthetic cocaine. I never did either, but that story is still hilarious.
I LOVED Tom Snyder! He was entertaining and fun, and brought out the best in his guests. And George Carlin is my favorite comedian of all time. This was a great interview!
Sad to me that Carlin was so incredibly brilliant and funny and yet could not see the obvious order in the universe and that we all came from a Creator of it all the Lord God Almighty. I dare say that he now knows.
Carlin would’ve had a field day today with the rise of theocratic fascism through people like Trump and modern American conservatives. He despised these types of people.
These Tom Snyder interviews youve been uploading lately are nothing short to gold. Such geniuses, totally makes you think we're declining as a society
Yes. Snyder was nothing but Quality TV.
I agree ! Thank you so much. I love this channel !!! So nice to see this :)
Snyder definitely knew how to conduct an interview. I remember these, from 'back in the day'. Very enjoyable. Carlin was amazing.
agree!
Because we are. However there are still good radio and TV guys out there.
To think both of these guys are dead makes me sad. RIP Tom. RIP George
Amen brother, amen. I miss this style entertainment so much
@@BartSimpson-nr1dy you ain’t alone. Sadly an era gone with the wind. At least we were there😪
All our heros are going. Jeff Beck and David Crosby left us with an incredible amount of films and music.
Death makes me wonder...why can't we keep the good times going in life? What good is it, when talent must end?
Tom would be very glad we are all still watching him.

Two giants in their respected professions. R.I.P. Tom Synder & George Carlin !
Two great Americans that tried to tell us the Truth... I remember watching Tom Snyder all the way back to 1973 with the Tomorrow show. ;)
Sad to know that both Tom and George would only live another 10 years after this. Two of my favorite people that I'll always remember.
This video is a wonderful gem in the story of George Carlin.
To Snyder, Dick Cavet, those guys from that era had class and they did great interviews.
Guests really liked Tom and he had a great sense of humor.
Like many grew up with TS, miss him very much, but George Carlin would a huge influence today.
He'd be cancelled today.
@@624radicalham cancelled indeed but he'd have a mainstream following no different than Dave Chappelle(imo).
Wow! This interview is very insightful. Thank you for this. These are great men and have great minds. How I wish we have these people today. They are truly missed.
Your Welcome. Here is another interview with these two men: th-cam.com/video/6fqbtZvT2GA/w-d-xo.html
Holy crap! I'm now the age Tom was here. I better get busy growing up soon.
Awww man... everytime I hear that saxophone music... I miss TS!
Damn..miss both of these guys
George and Tom died 1 year apart at age 71. RIP George. RIP Tom
Tom Snyder was my favourite interviewer.
No one in my mind has topped him today.
Aww...ended on a such a sweet, albeit melancholy note. George was such a powerful force himself. Sorely missed 😻😎✌
Tom Snyder made it look effortless.
@@rational-public-discourse He effortlessly got the title wrong, did it look like he was struggling to you?
Wow. I’m a fan of George but I didn’t know Tom Snyder. What a voice!. What a way to interact with George. He made of that interview a very a pleasant conversation. Now I’m going to have to find more about Tom. What a difference between his show and today’s late night shows.

You should watch an old SNL video of Dan Aykroyd doing Tom Snyder, it's hilarious!!
My late wife and I had disparate tastes in our TV shows...but late at night.....Tom Snyder was always a shared experience...He was full of himself, but in a charming way...and just a fine interviewer!
this is a great interview...thanks for the upload...
Thanks for watching. Carlin & Snyder we’re two of the best - from another time.
Thanks for the Tom Snyder link. Got it saved to my library
Your welcome/My pleasure
17:50 I hope Chomsky and Zinn heard this, so cool to hear a tribute from Carlin.
Never heard of Carlin until i logged on to the internet in the 90's.
I loved his comedy, but he was an even better philosopher!

Really enjoyed this! I was back at optometry school in Philly in 97 taking a break from studying again. Felt good
"We love you George" couldn't agree more.
Would love a copy of Brain Droppings by George Carlin'--what a hilarious man.
Get a copy- it’s a classic!
Nothing like this on tv now.
I didn't want this to end, with tears in my eyes, I watched Tom for many years 70s and on, I loved every moment, I loved George too, his view of America was 100% correct, I wish both were still with us today, I'm sure they would have plenty to say and be disgusted with what goes on now.
"Henrrrryyyyy!!!! Henry Aldrich!" "Com-Ing, Mother!"
it's really interesting to me the way he phrases the split up of his mom and his dad, "...actually she was more *dramatic* than that, she actually *ran away from him* when I was two months old..."
I'm still laughing at the drive thru chili restaurant...LOL
17:35 on politics and Noam Chomsky!
"Carry money -- it's easier!" I agree 100%, but that horse has left the barn. Half the places you go into today won't even accept money -- you have to pull out a credit card for a cup of coffee or a beer.
The plastic has become more convienient now. I would always end up with a handful of wadded-up singles stuffed in my pockets every day 😖

Boy would George be feasting today. 😂🤣
@Paul Jackson absolutely

6:37 that's funny. when i lived in decatur in the early '80's carlin was BIG. i always associated carlin with decatur.
Warn't no body like Tom. He was always my favorite talk show host. And Carlin was no slouch.
Strangely, not only was Tom Snyder and George Carlin both born on May 12th, but they were born only one year apart (Tom was born on 5/12/36 and George was born on 5/12/37), they both died at the age of 71 and only one year apart (Tom died on 7/29/07 and George died on 6/22/08). Life is so nuts!
😱😱
This was the year his wife passed away
Very moving tribute to her at the end. Carlin's gifts as a wordsmith weren't always about his comedy.
Tom Snyder is the best!!
A comic genius, although I thought, towards the end, he was more angry than funny.
I am watching two dead people. I am learning and laughing. Thank you guys.

I wonder how surprised George was after he passed...
George was/is the best comic ever! Forget Richard Pryor!
What is a one hour photo?
🤦
It’s in the name…🤔
Wow ! Great ytube Channel 👍 👍
Thank You. Appreciate It.
My rage is always ending up behind the idiots with a HUNDRED FREAKING LOTTERY TICKETS, when I'm out of smokes. 😒 😠😬😣
😊
These two died at the same age --71
George Carlin was a once in a lifetime special talent on loan from our creator. RIP Mr. Carlin
They really preach about human rights these days. Oh boy.
I wish Charles Manson would have called in.
🤣🤣🤣 yessssss
It would be interesting to see what Carlin would think of today, this covid over reaction, the masks, the lockdowns, and the extreme censorship!
His skit: Fear of germs. ????????????
I LOVED Tom Snyder! He was entertaining and fun, and brought out the best in his guests. And George Carlin is my favorite comedian of all time. This was a great interview!
Delusion
The beginning of George's cranky old fart period.
