Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air...
A blast from the past.
Bell-bottomed suits with wide lapels come to mind... and fade instantly.
I still remember when he did the Tommorrow Show in the mid seventies. At the time he was the Art Bell of television.
July 30, 1976

Rest in Peace, Tom.
Tom was a truly entertaining figure. A Milwaukee native, never lost his Midwestern sensibilities, even though he was a liberal.
cool clip. thanks for sharing
I remember when he was in Philly working with Jessica Savitch...What a great man..
You have to love his laugh.
I grew up watching him when we lived in Chicago and I agree with you. He was a very entertaining and easily likeable guy.
And yeah, he sure was a liberal.
But by today's standards, he was an old-school liberal that I would bet was disgusted by where and what today's left is.
Surprising. Did not know he was sick. Prayers to his family.
Wow ain’t that the truth.
I used to watch him from time to time when I lived in NYC.
Entertaining show- when he had Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics on and she blew up a car. He could not take his eyes off her lol
Rest in peace, Mr. Snyder. Say howdy to Mr. Bergman on your way up.
RIP Tom
Intense, chain smoking, enthusiastic, quick....
A lover of life
RIP
I remember watching his show. It always came on after the Johnny Carson show. The one show that sticks in my mind was when evangelist Rex Humbard was on the show and on the same show was punk rocker Wendy O. Williams. You just know they had to run into each other off the set.
