Tom Snyder was a badass and a top notch interviewer. So glad I discovered him through youtube.

The Tom Snyder interview with Kiss, particularly Ace Frehley was legendary

Tom Snyder was so underrated. Who else could take on Stern.

Love it, Howard usually got his way on television, hosts would sit and take it, all the plugs, snide remarks, etc, Snyder didn't play that way, it made for great television. I think Howard a little frightened by Tom, he was physically imposing, kind of old school wise guy and ace broadcaster. Reminds me when Snyder threw Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold off his CNBC Talk Show. Tom never suffered fools gladly, we miss you man.

I remember watching this in 91 and video taping it. It's one of the best interviews ever. Up close and personal and highly confrontational.

This was just great TV. I still love watching it. Howard slowly making Snyder crazy and angry throughout.

Oh, my, gosh. This was absolutely priceless. Two of the greats clashing. I love them both. Good times, good times.

Tom always slayed it. Love his stuff from 70's Tomorrow show till the end. Class act.

I can't take sides here, these two guys are/were giants in their field and this is a pleasure to watch. Thanks for posting it!

Two heavyweights going at each other. TS we miss you!

What happened to THIS Howard Stern? The HONEST one who wasn't afraid to say what he really felt? He became everything he rallied against.

Credit to Tom! Good interview.

Love the interaction . Both at the top of their game !! I really miss Tom

After 22 minutes, I didn’t think it could get better but... “you are what is wrong with television” is just such a great way to go out

I used to listen to Synder’s late late show in the 90’s to fall asleep. Soothing voice I guess.

Great to see this classic telecast posted. At a later date Howard would have Jerry Seinfeld on his radio show and Jerry stated that loved this exchange between Howard and Tom. Jerry actually called Jay Leno during the telecast and asked him to tape it.

The irony here is the fact that Howard's style has evolved into something that mirrors Snyder's overall style.

Tom Snyder was a class act

It seems like there was some level of genuine affection here. This was great stuff!

"Where is Bob Costas?.......he lets you give a number!" LOL

That ending was perfect lol

Oh man that chatline commercial @ 16:30, talk to ladies dancing in the park with 80's blazers and perms RIGHT NOW! I love it.

One of my favorite interviews. Like a train reck I can't stop watching.

Love this original footage though. Commercials are amazing.

Must have watched this interview a thousand times. This is the best copy of this I've seen online. saved it to my favs. Thanks for this.

This is surreal . Howard has become so mainstream and so big in 2020 signing a multi million dollar broadcasting which allows him to work from home . He still portrays the oppressed underdog which people champion and that's part of his immense success.......

This is the Bulls v. The Lakers, this is the old meeting the new. Extraordinary.

Tom was above this BS.

Thank you so much for uploading this classic gem!

This interview was my first exposure to Howard Stern . I of course heard of him. Seeing Stern`s syndicated show later that year made me a fan .

was great to see again..thank you for sharing !

I don't think Tom played it safe, dude had Iggy Pop, The Clash, and The Plasmatics on his show in the 70s

This is the work of a true master.

Tom Snyder: Unreal talent.

Like it or not both were pioneers in their field.

I watched this when it first aired. Classic!

1) I miss Tom Synder in this world, I loved his style. 2) So glad Howard has evolved as a man. 3) This was funny as hell😂😂😂 4) Great hair Howard👍

Super funny interview. Classic

best interview ever

Hilarious-now Howard Stern makes T.Snyder look like 'the rebel.' Funny how things change. Back then Snyder was the conservative one and Stern was edgy...not now!!!

I think they both knew EXACTLY what they were doing here.

That was great!!

Literacy sitting on the left; titillation sitting on the right.

Such a classic interview that breeds controversy and hostility That makes you which there were more interviews like this where everybody was down everybody’s throat.

I am a fan of howards but I do like tom snyder here, I do not know much about the man but I wish these two had their own show today just to argue. I am sorry to hear he passed away in 2007, he was a bit ahead of my time.

A classic. Saw the original airing. Have it ob videotape.

My granddaughter, 22,just came in. I said do you know who that is? She said no... who is it? I said Howard Stern. She said she had no idea who he was. My have the times have changed. She has all the tech gadgets, smart phone and Apple Watch. Different world. Tom Bush

great show !

that was so easy to read his lips when he said 1-800-52-STERN @ 6:04

This interview always makes me laugh. LOL :)

I saw the press conference interview from 1994 and Snyder said that this interview was staged and that they were cordial during the commercial.

Hysterical

14:20 - pow, ouch. “...you’re getting old-“ it’s like a boxing match. Tom is getting cut up. Certain words are zingers. Howard is brutal and full of surprise blows that hit hard. Intense. I had to put it on pause. Yes, I bought the HS Crucified By The FCC box set of CD’s with photo book.

Wish Brooklyn was still like that.

Always come back to this interview. Stern had it on Snyder but it took Snyder to get Howard going.

Thank you very much for posting this gem! Heated debate, interesting, funny and never boring between two who have no respect for each other but do their jobs nonetheless. We all have a lot to learn from this :)

I came here waiting to be confirmed in my belief that Tom Snyder was being obnoxious to Stern... Came away just thinking Stern is absolutely mental in a bad way. He tries to have it both ways... If he was just going to be "real", "provocative", "out there", "funny", whatever - fine by me, totally :) But the way he tries to both be "crazy" and at the same time earnestly insisting that Tom is being hostile and impolite to him - moments before interrupting him saying "I don't know how OLD YOU ARE". I mean... That's just.. Stern commit to either or :)

I was visualizing points like they do in basketball games, Stern-67, Snyder-54. Update, Snyder is making up ground...Stern-74, Snyder-68

I miss Tom Synder

Tom's the Best. Costas knew Tom could handle Howard. I remember this

Howard is just sooo amazing on these shows. Something about him hes so lovable. And funny and relaxed

Two heavyweights slugging it out. Saw this when it first aired. Definitely not boring.

I love to see howard backpedaling. Tom know what he is doing.

Genius, back before Howard Stern sold out, this interview now embarrasses Howard Stern lol.

how many of you called the GALS number?

Hey NOW ! "Gotta call that '900' Number, right away !" lol It's a shame, that obviously Tom didn't get it ... 'These Two' together, were Great ! Truly, one of the most entertaining interviews, ever !

He tried not to laugh when he said word association

so dial "1 900 446 gals" and you can talk to 90's girls who dances in the park.

Just a couple of wild and crazy guys .

I saw an interview Snyder did with Letterman where he said that him and Stern planned out what they were going to say during the commercial breaks.

Howard looks like a female gym teacher

Well, that went about like I thought it would.

This was great! 🔥🔥🔥🔥God I miss the country we used to have before everything turned to shit

Howard used to be so funny and had true balls and didn’t care who he pissed off. Back in the day he was unbeatable, I miss the old Howard.

Someone should have “cancelled” Stern in his cradle.

Funny interview lmao😀

What a fantastic interview! Tom Snyder was huge at this time, bigger than Howard was. Howard was such an interesting guest here, the interview really kept Tom on his toes and was such a stand out amidst the typical boring celebrity interviews. This is why Howard is still at it today, he really has that something special. Even people who say they hate him watch his interviews and listen to clips here long enough to say thefy hate him :)

Snyder had a much better radio voice than Stern.

Pure gold. And 1-900 Gals too.

22:39, he got the bird in there hahaha

Two brilliant broadcasters going te to te. T.S. kept up "pretty good" as he would be want to say. Howard was great too!

Tom Snyder had a lot of class. Howard Stern was as questionable as it gets. Never understood Stern's appeal. It is get anything for ratings. Pat Cooper buried Stern well.

What's funny is Howard Stern today after he made his money completely changed his philosophy. At least Tom Snyder was consistent.

wow, this... Pre-Artie leaving Howard was the greatest. Pre-Artie Arriving as golden. Now he's Tom Snyder

Snyder was a heavyweight and Howard wasn't ready for that

2 complete opposites but Tom had much class Howard didn’t. It’s very clear here.

Funny how HollyWood Howie was begging for plugs back then, and now he's worth a gazillion dollars

Tom mentioned the DMV...and Stern thought he was referring to Vietnam.....the DMZ.....hehehe

Howard became everything he criticized Tom for

Howard had a nice 1-2 year stretch when he didn't look hideous. This and his James Brown interview on that early E! show (and talk show appearances) were legendary early stern though.

Great back and forth, even if it doesn't ultimately go anywhere. Snyder's comments about Rebecca Shaeffer were sort of ridiculous, considering a law was passed a few years later to prevent the DMV from selling private information, specifically inspired by that case.

I never really liked Tom Snyder but I was kinda surprised how bad Stern came off in this interview. Best way to handle a guy like Tom Snyder is just play it cool and give straight answers, make him look like the crazy one. Instead Howard tried to out-antagonize him and they both look crazy.

The sad thing is the Howard Genuinely wanted Tom to like him. He respected the relationship between him and Dave. He loved Tom, but at the end of the day he way just too "Old Guard" to be swayed. Stern really believed in a Letterman NBC 11:30 and a Snyder 12:30 block. Its a shame really.

Look at him he’s laughing, that’s the moment they became friends

Absolutely brilliant that’s why he is where he is ..... well done howard

I'm sure they shook hands after this and laughed about , of camera Howard is a very likeable guy ..very entertaining!

and now Stern is everything he railed against....sad. he should have retired a long time ago

The Odd Couple 1991 style.

How many came from listening to Howard 100's Dave Letterman interview?

So funny!
