RIP Tom Snyder

Sad news.  Broadcasting legend, Tom Snyder, has passed away at the age of 71 due to leukemia.  I remember watching him in the late 1970s on "Tomorrow" right after Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show."   I even watched him years later on "The Late Late Show" right after David Letterman's "Late Show" on CBS.

Dan Aykroyd spoofed him on "Saturday Night Live" back in the 1970s.  That's how I discovered Tom.  I remember when Tom appeared on Johnny Carson's show as a guest and talked about Dan's impersonation of Tom.

You'll be missed, Tom!
