Ace and Peter were a riot. Also loved the time he guest hosted for Bob Costas and was interviewing Howard Stern and he ended up storming off the set.

I really liked the one he did with Charlie Manson... I remember Manson implying, in a calm voice, how he would kill Snyder if the guards there would only release his cuffs.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-30-2007 10:34 AM                     Tom Snyder died Sunday in San Francisco from complications associated with leukemia.

I particularly remember the show in '75 or '76 when he had Ralph Bakshi on. I loved it! Thanks for the memories, Tom.  |  IP: Logged Kat Baggett Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Citrus Heights, CA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-30-2007 08:53 PM                     Back when I was the GM of the Tiburon Playhouse a small 3 screen Cinema West Theatre he would come in to watch movies there every couple of weeks....my favorite comment to me was after he watched "Boogie Nights" he said all he had to do was look down to remember the ending of the movie.... An amazing gentleman and a real train fanatic as well...

What? He had prosthetic fake penis? (Sorry Kat, couldn't resist!) HA! I used to watch Tom back in the day. He was an interesting character and interviewer. I enjoyed his late night "Tomorrow" show. There are many great video clips of him on You Tube.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

But Letterman knew to keep the guy's name out there, sometimes with some pretty funny stunts -such as walking into a restroom at NBC, knocking on the stall door and getting the response, "hey! Get the hell out of here! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" And kids...remember. Don't eat the urinal cake.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-31-2007 12:47 AM                        Letterman's company also owns "The Late Late Show," which follows Letterman's show, and which Snyder hosted for a time. quote: Kat Baggett An amazing gentleman and a real train fanatic as well... Tom Snyder is the host of a video on the history of the Lionel Train Company that I happen to have. He does a great job on it. A very interesting and entertaining guy, he'll be missed.  |  IP: Logged
