I first knew of Tom Snyder when Dan Aykroyd's did his impersonation of Mr. Snyder on Saturday Night Live. Tom Snyder was a news anchor, radio host and was best known for his late night talk shows The Tomorrow Show on NBC and The Late Late Show, on the CBS.
There will never be another like Tom Snyder. His pace and style were part of a generation with a longer attention span.
To quote Tom Snyder "I learned a long time ago that if you bet on yourself, you win. If you bet on others, you lose."
Good Night Mr. Snyder
Stay Tuned
