Thomas James "Tom" Snyder (May 12, 1936 – July 29, 2007) was an American television personality, news anchor, and radio personality best known for his late night talk shows The Tomorrow Show, on the NBC television network in the 1970s and 1980s, and The Late Late Show, on the CBS Television Network in the 1990s. Snyder was also the pioneer anchor of the primetime NBC News Update, in the 1970s and early 1980s, which was a one-minute capsule of news updates in primetime.
Snyder was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to parents of German, Cornish, and Irish descent, Frank and Marie Snyder. He received a Catholic upbringing, attending St. Agnes Elementary School and graduating from Jesuit–run Marquette University High School. He then attended Marquette University, after which he had originally planned to study medicine and become a doctor.
Snyder had loved radio since he was a child and at some point changed his field of study from pre-med to journalism. He once told Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Tim Cuprisin that broadcasting became more important to him than attending classes, and he skipped a lot of them. Snyder began his career as a radio reporter at WRIT (unrelated to the present-day FM station) in Milwaukee and at WKZO in Kalamazoo (where he was fired by John Fetzer) in the 1950s. For a time he worked at Savannah, Georgia, AM station WSAV (now WBMQ).

From July 29, 2007, here are various news clips about the death of veteran broadcaster Tom Snyder. I am SO glad that I have an entire "Tomorrow" Show on tape from 1976 (and of course, it's posted on YouTube!). The first news story here, from NBC, also mentions the deaths of film director Ingmar Bergman and Football Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh.
1973 Tom Snyder interview with Alfred Hitchcock
At beginning Tom shows a copy of the Playboy magazine that Drew is in (she is on the cover), and points out the article on himself in the same magazine... Drew answers questions from people calling in.
Tom's first appearance on Late Night is preceded a month earlier with a week-long gag where his ghostly apparition is spotted in various locations inside and outside the studio. October 6: inside the Prancing Fluids October 7: inside the Prancing Fluids again and above Paul's head October 8: behind the stage by the coffee machine October 9: in the hallway being shot at by a frightened cop Tom finally appears as himself on November 10, 1987, with a Cold Open reprising his Tomorrow Show days and then later with two segments chatting with Dave. Tom then appeared on the Tonight Show three weeks later on December 2 with Jay Leno as guest-host. The differences in Dave's and Jay's interviewing skills are keenly obvious.
Charles Manson is one of the most notorious figures in American history and is considered a prototypical serial killer - despite the fact that he never actually killed anyone. On June 12, 1981, Tom Snyder's prison interview with convicted mass murderer Charles Manson aired. Manson was by turns quietly mesmerizing and disturbingly manic, suddenly getting a wild look in his eyes and spouting wild notions at Snyder before temporarily returning to a calm demeanor. Though it brought the show a huge ratings number, Snyder was never comfortable with the interview, feeling that it "established absolutely nothing, other than what was already well known - that Manson is a nutcase".
