Tom Snyder of 'Tomorrow Show' dies at 71

SAN FRANCISCO - Talk show host Tom Snyder, whose smoke-filled interviews were a staple of late night television, has died after a struggle with leukemia. He was 71.

Snyder died Sunday in San Francisco from complications associated with leukemia, his longtime producer and friend Mike Horowicz told The Associated Press on Monday.

Known for his improvised, casual style and robust laughter, Snyder conducted a number of memorable interviews as host of NBC's "The Tomorrow Show." Among his guests were John Lennon, Charles Manson and Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols.

1. Wow

"Tomorrow" was always an interesting show. And a lot of the reason why was Tom Snyder and his interviewing style.

Sad news.

RIP, Tom.

7. Echo that.

His conversational style was what I looked for in a host using that format. He was real. He challenged people and provoked thought. And I loved his laugh.

2. Bummer. He was cool.

Loved his interbiew with Jerry Garcia and Ken Kesey. I think Bob Weir was there too? It's been so long...I can't remember if
he was the third interviewee or not.

RIP, Tom!

6. Dan Aykroyd did great impersonations of him

SNL once did a celebrities and their moms skit one time and had Dan and Jane Curtin as his mom. They were great.
