And Dave

What made Tom great......and standing out from all the rest, was that there was no audience to play to, to get cheap, quick jokes---it was truly a conversation, back and forth, and a sincere interview---which was stellar. Tom was always prepared, knew about the person, their book, movie, whatever. Tom was the best interviewer ever, by FAR. The lack of an audience allowed for real conversation.

Absolutely

Great moment when Burt talks about Dinah. Tom really is the best interviewer of celebrities (and others).

It was really nice of Tom to cut away when Burt started getting choked up about Dinah, by claiming it was time for a commercial. What a perceptive, sensitive man Tom Snyder was.

There's a wonderful interview that Dinah did with Burt and the end brought me to tears, they really were soul mates

Watching these interviews are great. I loved the Late Late Show and would regularly watch it back in the day when I was in grad school. This is like a time warp for me in a good way. It’s now actually a reminder for me of how life was simpler and frankly better in many ways. Thank you for posting these.

One thing about Burt, he never runs out of words, the guy can talk, and he can be funny as hell.

Best interview he ever gave... Tom got stuff out of people no one else ever got.

Great video. I miss his show. Used to watch when I was in High School and forgo sleep. His show had real conversation that lasted longer than 3 minutes.

Snyder was quite the intellectual . A master interviewer that his guests appreciated . They knew this was something for the ages .

Tom Snyder. What I liked best is probably that he didn't care too much about himself as much as he would crack his guests' info. He got inside data that no one else could or else cared just by being straightforward! Got his 20'th century interviews to MEAN something! Kudos!😊

God bless Tom Snyder and his interviews: we are so much blessed. He wasn't perfect (thank God) and fuxked us all up to meet the minds of whoever. AND he was prepared! Best interviewever of ALL time!

All the great personalities are gone-it's sad but it's true

Tom Snyder was always my favorite. He was such a good interviewer and somebody that made you feel like he was your friend. Now we have a bunch of comedians who constantly get political and are just plain hateful people. Americans care about the interview and good stories, not the stupid politics.

I used to like watching late night, especially Tom, who brought real interviewing to the table. Not a monologue of dumb jokes, silly skits, or mandatory sycophantic laughter from an off camera sidekick. I know he could make himself look foolish by interviewing rock musicians, or at times seemed terse, but he made up for those things by skillfully maneuvering interviews and actually allowing guests to speak.

A little Burt goes a long, long way.

Wendy's was never the same after their founder passed. Quality of their products DEFINITELY went down.

I miss that America

I can't be the only one who clicked on this expecting Dave Thomas from SCTV.

Mr. Thomas was an amazing success story! This is a man that knew how to work. VERY hard! Gee I think that also is a key to success? You think? lol! Walked out of an elevator in Las Vegas years ago and he was standing there. Quite frail. I didn't say anything to him but it was an honor!

T.S. was simply terrific. His CNBC show was always fun to watch, including the reruns on the weekends.

Bert you are the best and God bless Diana shore❤

Burt was simply, the best. RIP Mr. Reynolds.

Tom was a staple every day here in SoCal when he did the news on KNBC with Kelly Lange, Ross Porter, Bryant Gumble and John Barbour. Jess Marlow was on before at 5 pm and John Schubeck later at 11. ❤

I miss those broadcast graphics 😊

Love Wendy's food and Thomas was a great guy.

Ugh watching this from the future really is trippy....

Simply so fun. Miss Tom.😄

The best KISS interview was with Tom Snyder.

God rest both their souls. Burt was not perfect but he never betrayed his friends

Bert Reynolds might have been funny and a great star but Dave Thomas is a hero! I remember these shows before Letterman bought the show and they were like a real secret gem. Bert Reynolds used to call in drunk, Dave Letterman used to call in and disguise his voice and play different characters. Takes me to my happy place. Wow that’s 25 years ago.

Loved how you called this a “secret gem”. It was to me personally. Back in 94 while struggling for cash while finishing college I had four things get me through the day....gym, Wendy’s Chili and I could not wait for Tom Snyder and Wings to come on at night. It was just something to look forward to get to the next day.

I remember eating Tom almost ever night hated it when the show was finished after great interviews like these and had to wait another 23 hours for the next.

Love Tom on radio and TV

The End was hilarious! burt outlived both siskel and ebert....

Burt Reynolds is the highwater mark for charm and charisma.

I remember when he was on the Tonight Show. As you'll recall, at the end of the show, each guest would plug his/her latest project. And Tom Snyder, being between projects, said," Folks, tomorrow's election day. So get out and vote. 'Cause if you don't vote, you can't bitch. And, boy, do I like to bitch " . And then, THE LAUGH.

This is where i discovered Tom again. Burt is fantastic.

Great interviews with Burt and Dave. Tom had a great show. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for uploading this clip. I love Tom Sndyer and I was pleasantly surprised to see him wearing a Spider-Man tie.

Lordy I miss Tom…

Tom Snyder!! My God, I forgot all about him!

Jack Paar, Dick Cavett and Tom Snyder - those were the only talk shows that I ever cared about.

When I was living in LA and my Mom came to visit, we were on Sunset Blvd in Beverly Hills. My Mom asked what kind of a car was beside us? I said it's a Rolls Royce Corniche, after about a minute my Mom said well that was Dinah Shore, I guess she likes to see the USA in a Chevrolet, but Beverly Hills in a Rolls Royce.

I forgot how much I liked Tom Snyder!

Burt was and will always be my favorite actor.

Thank you Kevin for posting the clip. My father and I loved to watch Reynolds' films. Even when the films were not good. Burt R was our comfort food! My father and Mr. Reynolds are dead.This interview was great! I am Canadian and Dave Thomas was not Bob Mckenzie of SCTV!! I did read Thomas' book. Thank you !

Cute. Johnny Depp of today.

At 16 minutes in when Burt mentions the movie he's in , The Maddening , directed by John Huston's son ... That's Tony Houston who I had the pleasure to hang out with back around 1989 . He was the kindest , nicest person and also had a good sense of humor ... very down-to-earth and a real gentleman . He wrote the screenplay for the movie and I forget if he directed or produced along with his dad John Huston for James Joyce's The Dead ... sister Angelica played the lead female . It's a different kind of story and very real in Ireland over 100 years ago . There might be some clips of it here on the tube . He spoke about falconry and I hear that's what he does now full-time and does not do film anymore .

Lovely man!!!

Synder has the best laugh in the business. He earned my respect interviewing Manson in prison.

He called out Manson's BS. Very impressive and he had real bravery.

My grandson worked at Wendy's in 1979. The horror stories he'd come home with about food preparation there were hair raising. The chili meat is from overcooked or broken patties that sit beneath the grill in a pail while flies feed on it. Other things were just as bad.

Great guys

This guy Dave Thomas looks a lot like that guy Dave Thomas that did those Wendy's commercials.

Burt twitching the jaw alot, probably from pain killers and the jaw reconstruction. Soldiered on (nice rug, too).

Tom Snyder is superb

The director that Burt Reynolds hit was Dick Richards (Farwell, My Lovely) on the set of 1987's Heat. It was a troubled production from the word "go" with screenwriter William Goldman wanting to take his name off the project, but unfortunately the WGA wouldn't allow it. After all, he did write the book it was based on, too. Years later, Brian DePalma was set to remake Heat, but he dropped out and hack director Simon West stepped in and filmed it with Jason Statham starring and they ended up changing the title to Wild Card. It was no improvement.

Unlike so many overrated and sensitive actors in this day and age... Burt never let his ego consume him. You have to laugh at yourself and let things roll off your back. When you know who you are. When you're content in your own skin. That's how you live.

Deliverance was a huge commercial and critical success and established Reynolds as a bonafide movie star. He had become a household name because of his sophisticated and soulful performance as businessman and outdoorsman Lewis Medlock in that widely regarded terrifying adventure film of 1972 .

Seems like he’s in a lotta pain with his Jaw. Or he’s own some Pain killers drying his mouth out and causing his strange behavior. Poor Burt those pills took his smile and laugh .

As soon as Tom asked Dave about the common thread with successful people, I knew the religious plug was coming.

Tom's monolog back in 94 wouldn't be allowed in today's PC world. Just one, of many reasons tv is too boring to watch today.

OMG famous for being with fabulous women? This guy would be fired if he hosted today.

Dave is totally full of crp

Burt was a funny guy. Too bad loni Anderson ruined him. Always the plastic woman gets their attention.
