I was a little young to remember Tom Snyder's 'The Tomorrow Show' on NBC back in the 70s, although I loved him on the 'Late Late Show' that followed Letterman on CBS in the 90s.
Tom passed away yesterday at 71. Through the magic of Youtube, you can see some of his greatest hits...

Who would you rather interview...Charles Manson, or Johnny Rotten? I'm thinking Charlie seems like a more stable character after watching that clip!
