The latest entry in the Late Night Saga concerns the friendship between David Letterman and Johnny Carson & Tom Snyder during the changing landscape of late-night television.
NOTE ON AUDIO:
At certain spots in this video, such as 15:00 and 22:33, some devices may not play the audio. I'm not sure what causes the phenomemon, I can hear the audio just fine on my computer and on my phone but some viewers have said it is missing. I would suggest viewing on a different device or switching between speakers and headphones to see if it works better.

    @@FanboyFilms you seemed to find far superior copies than the ones I've seen. Full episodes of his shows have proven to be difficult to find for me, unlike most of the other late night hosts. I wonder if masters of any of those shows, especially that not so great ones still exist. Id love to have the magic hour in it's entirety. Or pat Sajak. Any good sources you can share?

    No, basically everything I found was on KZread. Sometimes under a not-so-obvious title. I just had to search a lot. In a few cases I touched up a clip with color correction or tape hiss reduction. I noticed during this project that while Carson and Letterman are well preserved and still air in repeats (somewhere) that doesn't seem to be true of Snyder, particularly the Tomorrow show. I have started trying to archive everything on YT and any other sites like Dailymotion or Vimeo. A few Snyder clips have been released as DVD extras such as the KISS interview on the KISSology DVD set, or the Hitchcock interview on the Rebecca (1940) DVD. Although the versions I used in this video came from YT. I only recently discovered the Magic Hour and most clips are pretty low quality. Sajak clips are a little better. It would be neat to find a streaming service with all of them. Can't even find torrents for most of it.

    This was an absolutely wonderfully-made documentary. You can tell how much care FanBoyFilms has for the subject. Instead of doing what most smaller channels would do...(write a long script where he reads it fast, and never stops talking), he spent time finding all the relative clips, and let the actual news and hosts narrate the story, occasionally punctuated with his own narration to guide the whole thing. Very professional, A+ design, and I'm now a happy new subscriber.

    I was in high when Letterman's daytime show started. My stoner buddies and I would cut school and watch it at our friend's house who lived close by. When he got his late night show, I was in college. My friends and I would gather in the common area and watch it every night. It's hard to imagine now, but there was nothing else like it on TV. Carson and the Tonight Show were for our parents and grandparents. Letterman was the first time there was a show like it that was for us. We worshipped Letterman, his comedy and his outlook influenced a whole generation of 80s and 90s kids

Being alive back then (and old enough) to appreciate the three late-night giants every night was a thing to remember and to (years later) wistfully treasure. The lifespan overlap of these three shows didnt last long enough in my opinion, but it was a nightly block of enjoyable quality TV, and I was lucky enough to have been there every night as I came home from my afternoon job.

Carson wasn't asked by nbc of his opinion nor did he decide to retire on his own and ofc favored letterman to takeover. Also Leno would hide in closets listening in on executive conversations so he would have the inside info to persuade nbc to pick him. As norm macdonald said, Leno out foxed king Carson, letterman and conan.

    At 13:30 you can see the moment here where Johnny really took to Dave. That joke here from Dave really tickled Johnny, and if you could make Johnny laugh like this, you knew you were going to be a success. This is the moment I believe when Johnny started to really like Dave's humor.

    This video is well done and researched. As someone who grew up in the 1970’s and was in college in the 1980’s, David Letterman was my generation’s late night host and Tom Snyder was someone who did great long-form interviews. Great job on this.

    So is Tom Snyder the father of the long form interview that is common today with podcasts? And to do it on network television in the 70’s on a medium that is running on attention deficit is impressive. We can also see Tom was a man of integrity who cared more about a quality product and intelligent conversation than the bright lights, studio audience and the glitz and glam.

    Another fantastic installment! I'm curious if you'll be covering Craig Ferguson at some point during this series. He came in and shook up the late night formula, deconstructing it and making a mockery of the kind of cookie cutter approach to these kinds of shows. That Larry King was a staple on his show is also fascinating.

    Great video!!! I was born in 1977, so I grew up with the end of Carson, the prime of Letterman's career and I really enjoyed Tom Snyder when Letterman put him on CBS after his show on that network. I had serious insomnia my whole life, including as a young kid, so I was the rare child who was regularly awake to see these shows in grade school and beyond. As a 6, 7, 8, etc. year old, these shows made it bearable to be awake at such a late hour when I had to wake up in a little bit for first grade or fourth grade or eighth grade or high school or whatever. I was tired as hell in the morning but it was worth it when recounting the previous nights jokes to my friends, who thought this stuff was frigging hilarious! In more recent years, I've gone back and sought out hundreds of hours of clips of all three of these shows; some I remember seeing way back when and many more that were brand new to me. From Johnny's down home persona to Dave's more modern snarky humor to Tom Snyder's more in-depth interviews (not without great humor) with such classic guests as speculative fiction impresario Harlan Ellison, the boys from KISS, the creators and actors of Star Trek, all kinds of writers and even interviewing his WorldWide Pants boss David Letterman. (Can you tell Snyder's interview style was my favorite?) But Johnny Carson was the original classic. A funny man who I could watch with my parents and feel comfortable even as a pre-teen. And David Letteeman made me feel cool as I got older, with his collegiate humor and whip smart delivery. Snyder wrapped it all up with a mixture of intellectual dialogue and goofy humor and a cigarette. Thanks for making these videos. They're a great walk down memory lane and I even learn something new as well. They're entertaining, informative and just plain fun!

    One of the late night hosts I thoroughly enjoyed was Bob Costas. He was intelligent and regarded his audience with the same estimation. He was always very knowledgeable and well-studied on any guest that he had on, and his relaxed interview style always reflected that. And he always respected whomever the guest was. He never allowed the conversation into sleazy or tawdry steas. When his guests began to take the conversation in that direction, he would always gently move it back to something more thoughtful. His first love was sports, especially baseball. Life to him was a baseball game. But he was adequate to any area of discussion that he was interviewing. And he was genuinely interested. He did it all well in a half hour. When he went off, I missed seeing his program, but I guess the show ran it's course. His late night viewing was always something to look forward to...and to remember so well afterward. I just thoroughly enjoyed his program.

I could not be more impressed with this documentary, it feels to me like it really captures the spirits of all three and tells anyone who might be unfamiliar with them exactly what they'd need to know at a bare minimum, kind of a "Best of Late Night - 101" course. For me personally the Snyder parts were especially enjoyable, I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. Having said all that I will now go fix myself a colortini and watch the pictures as they fly through the air. Well done!
