A comic genius & a talk show genius. It doesn.t get any better.

tom snyder was good - lets his guests answer his questions without butting in

Tom Snyder didn't pretend to be offended by George's thoughts in the first few minutes of this video. Instead, regardless if he agreed, just laughed. Snyder was a great interviewer and host.

I miss both of these guys so much. Thanks for publishing this.

i love utube for this reason..getting to watch ppl like tom snyder is a gift :)

George would have loved Covid

My wife and I saw George here in Las Vegas in 1997 so this interview means more to me now seeing him here! Every week people say I remind them of him and that's the highest compliment I can ever get! May 12 1937 to June 22 2008 as I always remember his dates! RIP GEORGE! You are missed more today than ever!

Tom Snyder and George Carlin WOW.

they broke the mold with George-comedic genius

God I miss them both

Loved both of these men! Their talent is amazing, 25 yrs later and I'm still laughing, wish they hadn't left so soon.

Tom Snyder had such an impact on me as a young man with his unique way of conversation that I followed him to Marquette University to study broadcasting and journalism. The guy was really awesome, god bless his daughter and family who keep his memory alive!

George..the king of intellectual comedy..the best

Tom and George are hilarious! Both are national treasures! Just two dudes having a chat.

Miss both of these gentlemen.

Both of these gentlemen were the best of the best.

This moment in time, would be the perfect time ever for Carlin !

Tom Snyder was great. Love his laugh

Still miss Tom Snyder. Great interviewer. Great laugh. George was one of the greatest of all time.

Carlin's straight-faced, unaffected delivery of words showing extreme indifference to human suffering, tragedy and death, is a balanced manifestation of Buddhism and psychopathy, which is dearly missed in our dystopian, apocalyptic times.

im only 17 years old but if only he was alive today man hed have so much more material itd be a field day for him Rip Goerge Carlin 1937-2008

Legends. Thank you!

great interview.Every aspiring comedian, or hell even artist or musician should watch. Fascinating look into the creative process, and about perseverance and a lot of other things. WOW

Thomas James Snyder (May 12, 1936 - July 29, 2007) was an American television personality, news anchor, and radio personality best known for his late night talk shows Tomorrow, on the NBC television network in the 1970s and 1980s, and The Late Late Show, on the CBS Television Network in the 1990s. Snyder was also the pioneer anchor of the prime time NBC News Update, in the 1970s and early 1980s, which was a one-minute capsule of news updates in prime time.

Two of the best. . .

Back when there were real interviews & great guests 🙏 The Snyder laugh though 😁

Both of these people were great! Miss listening to them.

I miss Tom Synder & his marvelous level headed & honest interviews. That’s nothing like that anymore today.

excellent interview..thanks

There is only one of anyone. What makes the difference is how they think --- or the mere fact that they think at all! Carlin was a highly capable thinker.

I miss both of these talented guys.

This interview by (2) of the greatest men in entertainment. Georgie was brilliant and Tom knew the questions to ask and when to intercede with follow ups. One of the very best interviews, ever!

Listening to George is more effective than most NHS therapy. I'd not heard this one. I guess it's sad listening to one guys interviews over again. But you do what works, aye.

George would have loved the Trump administration. Not as a supporter but as an illustration of this theory about the breakdown of culture. Trump, knowingly or by accident, has mastered the divide and conquer strategy to retain power. He's got both parties running around like dogs chasing gheir own tails. The events of the Black Lives Matter movement and the handling of the COVID outbreak would have come as no surprise to George. Hd placed the blame equally on the political figures as well as those who voted them into office. George was fair and clear minded when it came to blame. Sadly we don't have social critics on the level of a George Carlin. He'd be equally intrigued by the "cancel culture" movement. As a comic political correctness was the kiss of death. I can only imagine how he might have addressed this issue. No one was too sacred to not get deflated a little, taking them down a few rungs on their moral ladders. George was the man to do it. He is deeply missed.

That was fun. Thank you.

I miss both of these guys so much!

I hate the nihilism crap, though I recognize in George the same Irish sarcasm that's in me, but everything else he says or does is gold. I've seen him once in concert in '93---he made ground chuck out of a would-be heckler, it was a thing of beauty, just a verbal death ray, the guy melted like plastic into his seat--I laughed my balls off at his records & TV appearances, and it might be close to never that we see the likes of Him again. Tom Snyder, there's another original, one of a kind gem. Ever notice how many people, who usually squirm in their seats during other interviews, just lean back and breeze through the 25 minutes? Doesn't hurt not having a stupid audience and band.

Loved carlin when i first saw him on merv griffen show , wonderful.rhino

Like two really good friends who knew how to make each other think and laugh!

Sad they are both gone. Both died at age 71

Carlin died at age 71. He never made it to 94.

the camera crew laughing in the background

Great interview. Two great guys.

Love the old talk shows. The ones today are bad. George and Tom were the best. Just none stop laughs.

Well, he used to do "topical" material -- Vietnam War, Nixon, Muhammad Ali vs. the Draft Board, etc. So I guess he changed his approach as time went on.

I wish he had lived to 94 ....RIP George...and Tom too..

Whether it's snippets of any recycled material, or real-life stories of his journey to fame, shock & laughter, Carlin's stuff still stands up today. Rest in Peace George.....& thanks my friend.

Carlin was great. Tom Snyder was so cool . Great interviewer and funny. He had John Lennon on once . Best interview I’ve ever saw.

i sure do miss the greatest ever George Carlin

I miss both of these wonderful men.

Tom Snyder often caught flack, but here, he really didn't get in Carlin's way and created enough enthusiasm that Carlin totally responded. Really excellent interview. It bums me out there aren't shows like this anymore.

“The ferrets grew into people ….” What a mind.

These guys genuinely like each other

Funny, they both died at 71 just weeks after their birthdays. Both born on May 12. Synder in 1936; Carlin in 1937. Oooo-EEEEee-oooo!

Wow this needs more views.

didn't make 94 :( ... I'd love to hear what he would have to say in this day and age.

I LOVED TOM SNYDER and I REALLY MISS TOM SNYDER . HE WAS THE BEST IN HUMOR AND ALSO INTERVIEWING !

This was most excellent and extremely enjoyable!

Love how you can hear the crew laughing

Tom had a great laugh. Even when I didnt know what he waa laughing about I would laugh along

Bif Barf!!! OMFG! I almost lost my lunch! This must have been the funniest man ever alive (okay, maybe tied with Robin Williams).😁😂😎

I follow a philosophy inspired by George. Any other Carlinists here?

I have that album

"I'm gonna live till I'm 94." Damn. If that was the case, he would still be alive right now...

10:10 my favorite part

"The first thing you do when you get to a radio station is to start making audition tapes for the next station." Thank you, Mr. Carlin, you just signed my epitaph.

Watched this sometimes after work when Conan and Politically Incorrect were over.

I like to see Mr Snyder laughing. Hahaha

George would have had a steady supply of material and entertainment with trump's antics.

tcb mr carlin you where right!

He would be still carving Trump up like a flambé.

I love you George,RIP you beautiful man 🥺❤💯❤

anybody else pick up on the "comet movie "? #dontlookup

Good Lord ... this intro is food for Steve Bannon. You could play with anarcho-nihilism when it wasn't at the door.

Joyous Noel readers digest

THE PLANET///ENVIRONMENTIST////

Acidic and hilarious

Facetious persona or did he mean it?

The one and only! : )

This cannot be in 1997. Must be 1998 as a caller mentioned Monica Lewinsky

hahahah

Pollyanna George

This is why I don’t need cable, excellent guest and host

when adults were in control of TV

That UCLA joke made me LOL.

7:12 9:20 lol

I remember when tom had meatloaf on and he kept calling him meatball.

Shock value is completely gone

They were both dead within 10 years of this interview. I miss them both terribly : (

If only George would have lived to see Covid :(

Imagine if Snyder kept his mouth shut and allowed Carlin to answer without interruption….

the artificial laughter from Tom, and the look at camera while doing it, no not amused

And the meteor deflection was trialled successfully only this year.

Yes is the father the dynasty guy

tom got better looking as he aged and his hair turned grey

Ohh! When the world could tolerate truth tellers and people could laugh at the absurdities. All gone. The last Prophet had spoken.

Carlin's prediction was only off by 23 years.

Duck dynasty guy

George didn't pass at 94, 71.

He only had ten years left to live, give or take a few months. So, he didn't live to 100 like Burns and Hope, and thankfully he didn't become a vegetable either.
