David Letterman introduction (part 1 of 4) Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder - 9/22/1980

David Letterman introduction (part 1 of 4) Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder - 9/22/1980.

Tom reads some of his negative mail concerning his show's new format, takes some uncomfortable questions from his then new studio audience, and expresses insecurities about his show's new format. Tom also sets David Letterman up with a joke of Tom's own invention.

That last question was ominous -- because Letterman replaced Snyder in this timeslot (after Carson) a couple years later.

@GD29 i should have clearer on my comment sorry, i dont know if there is a video, but i read it and what dave said in the press conference

i have no idea where i read it

think the late shift film about dave and jay did a short scene with the press conference and was basically what he did ( big cigar, big smile, saying that cbs where paying him a hit load of money)

@daedralord1 where can you see the press conference?

In the 90s, I used to watch his CBS show after Letterman, and enjoyed the intimate setup he had with his guests. RIP Tom.

Snyder was the best talk show host of his generation IMHO - curious, funny and sincere!

@bballmanager "Relight My Fire" by Dan Hartman

Does anybody know what the name of the theme song is?

[MegaObserver1]

@AccordionManiac Snyder was offered a 1 hour Tomorrow Show at 1:30 AM following Letterman on NBC, but he said "no". NBC ran some edited Tomorrow Show reruns for a while after Dave's show premiered, then had a news show (NBC News Overnight) with Linda Ellerbee for a few years at 1:30 AM.

Tom's theme music was "Boogie Wonderland"?
