I'm just full of bad news today. This is just after I posted that Bill Walsh of the 49ers has died. And how strange - they both died of leukemia. I almost never hear of leukemia cases, although, I know it is a killer and there are people who still suffer from it.
I remember Snyder from keeping the TV on after David Letterman. He seemed a decent guy. Another loss.

While I barely remember his Tomorrow Show after Johnny Carson was on, I do remember David Letterman honoring him by giving him the Late Late Show host gig when that show was founded in 1995. I saw damn near every show of his over 1996/7 working midnight shifts and was sad when he was replaced by Craig Kilborn, but time was moving on for him then. A classy individual who was so personable, he made you feel as if he was talking to you through the TV. Hope you're enjoying the sky flying by, Tom. RIP

Wow, I remember Tom going back The Tomorrow Show that was on after Carson in the 70s/early 80s, and his famous interviews with John Lennon and Charles Manson. Didn't know that he was ill. RIP to an interesting fellow.

He was a fixture in LA media before that.I tried to watch The Tomorrow and Late shows when ever I could.I thought he was a very colorful personality.

I hear about it all too much.....my mother died from AML about 11 years ago, and my dad died from a form of leukemia roughly eighteen months ago.

I remember him well from his LA days at KNBC (1970-74). In fact, he and Tom Brokaw (1966-73) were there together during the early 70's.
RIP Tom Snyder.
