I'm not originally from Milwaukee but do have a Tom Snyder memory.  I interned at the Late Late Show with Tom Snyder out at CBS Television City (Los Angeles) back in 1998!  Mr. Snyder was funny, articulate, tall and loved his mother.  Although mornings were spent prepping for shows, researching and finding future guests, when he came in to the office in the afternoon, it was time for business.  The thing I liked the most about his show was how he entertained and educated.  One guest would be Rick James ... the second interview would be Jeffrey Toobin.  He brought on movie stars and poets; singers and activists; comedians and Ron Popeil (no lie -- there was a signed poster in the conference room).  Being interested in late night entertainment shows in college, this internship truly opened my eyes to a variety of topics and ideas.  As nervous and scared as I was to be working for him, he even talked to the interns!  He told great stories and liked to crack jokes.  I was sad to hear about Mr. Snyder's passing and know his legacy and wit will live on.

I loved watching his interviews. That was one on one interviewing. I remember so many. My favorite, of course, being when he interviewed the original Star Trek main crew. He got everyone on his show and it was relaxed and insightful.
Thanks for the memories Tom.
Thanks for sharing your memories Vivika.

I enjoyed Tom Snyder also. I used to watch Tomorrow and his show CBS. What I liked about his show was that it was more intimate, not like the standard format with the desk, side-kick, band and a rapid-fire succession of jokes.
