"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE.
October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982.
Tom Snyder's solo guest is Milton Berle.
Prior to many topics discussed, Snyder expresses his admiration for Milton Berle and relates to when he was in High School in 1951 watching The Texaco Star Theater and in awe of Uncle Miltie.
In this very candid in depth and insightful interview Milton discusses his 1951 thirty year contract with NBC mentioning how it developed thru Pat Weaver and David Sarnoff...taking a 40% cut in pay, but regretting later that he could not work on any other network except NBC TV.
Reflections on the first year of The Texaco Star Theater (1948) when the budget for each one hour live show was $15,000 of which Milton would receive $2,500. No writers that first year...giving up work in night clubs making $10,000 a week...huge increased salary by NBC in 1949 to Berle ($25,000 per show)...the challenges doing a live show with no cue cards, or applause overlays. Additional anecdotes about embarrassing incidents on the show, and how Milton did not even know his monologue until he went on the air live at 8pm.
Milton Berle remembers how he was a stern taskmaster and why he was that way. He mentions to Tom Snyder that in 1952 he designed the NBC studio and created applause signs.
Milton states that he did 580 live Texaco Star Theater and Milton Berle Shows on NBC, and to his astonishment most all of his shows, (kinescopes) which were originally created, were discarded at one point, as confirmed to him by Dave Tebet, NBC Vice President in charge of talent recruitment, to make space at the New Jersey Camden storage facility.
Tom Snyder also relates to such scenario with his own Tomorrow Show stating that he was told by Tebet one day that all of his previous broadcasts recorded on 2" Quad Videotape, including those with icon guests were wiped and discarded from the New York and Burbank studio facilities.
NOTE: Almost all pre-1978 Tomorrow Shows are not extant as COMPLETE BROADCASTS. However, the 1978 thru 1981 Tomorrow Shows, for the most part, have been archived.
Milton talks about his stage mother and her domination over him always breaking up romances and greatly responsible for his first two divorces. Berle also discusses how his third marriage to Ruth faired much better. Also Milton talks of his son Billy age 15 and about to receive his pilot's license.
Tom Snyder tries to get Milton to reveal who the mystery affair woman in his life was called "Linda." They discuss how Berle was the first entertainer to appear on the cover of Newsweek and Time Magazine in 1949, and Milton being the first to host a 24 hours TV telethon for The Damon Runyard Cancer Memorial Organization. Other anecdotes include remembrances of Fulton J. Sheen, Arnold Stang, Ruth Gilbert, Sid Stone and Milton Frome.
The broadcast concludes with Milton Berle telling Tom Snyder what is his doing now in 1977.

Tom Snyder's solo guest is Film Director Frank Capra who once before appeared on The Tomorrow Show in 1974 with a panel of other guests.
Tom Snyder discusses rumors related to himself, all untrue. Examples such as he will be returning to broadcasting the News on NBC, and considering anchoring the Today Show.
Frank Capra discusses a myriad of topics including the telecasting of the Academy Awards (too long), He states that when making motion pictures there are no bad actors, only bad directors...remembering making "Dirigible" (1931) and using "dry ice" in actor's mouths to assimilate vapor which created major problems for the actors. Favorite actors he has worked with...his first entrance in films as a director for Walter Montague making a 12 minute short film, "The Ballad of Fisher's Boarding House" in two days with amatuer actors, Capra remembers working for Mack Sennett and Hal Roach as a writer...his great five Oscar winning film "It Happened One NIght," at which time he thought this is the profession he wanted to be in for the rest of his life (up till then not sure). Frank Capra relates to Tom Snyder how he got a reluctant Claudette Colbert to lift her skirt in a scene. He states that most of his films had an Idealistic point of view focusing on the average man and how "lost causes" are never given into.
The effect of Television is discussed and Capra admits that as marvelous as this media is he could never work in it because he would not be able to have the independence that he required to make a film of his choosing.

Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.

Tom Snyder re-runs a two and half minute excerpt clip related to the Tomorrow Show pilot broadcast (October 5, 1973) which was never broadcast. Both Snyder and Sonny Fox who was in the studio prevail as many mishaps occur during a phone call to Bob Citron making this pilot unacceptable for airing.

As a surprise to Tom Snyder, Mort Werner has prepared a 6 minute congratulatory anniversary tribute film with many celebrities, including Don Rickles, Mike Douglas, Dan Aykroyd, and Tom Brokaw as well as staff me members, fans and others,
chiming in both humorously and with satirical anecdotes of their own, directed at Snyder, who enjoys the tribute tremendously.
Tom and Mort discuss the challenges incurred when taping a broadcast which Snyder prefers vs broadcasting live which Werner prefers, and how society has changed from the 1950's to the 1970's.
Finally, Mort Werner talks about some of his other short lived broadcasting ventures, including "Let's Look Over the News at Midnight," and "My Mother the Car" which he produced.

Bob Grant was a controversial right-wing talk radio show host, based in the New York City area. Grant is considered a pioneer in the talk radio format and an early adopter of the "combat talk" show style. He began in New York City radio on WMCA in 1970 where he remained until 1977. From there he moved to WOR radio, beginning there on May 30th, 1977. In 1979, he was fired from WOR for some controversial remarks he made on the air and moved back to WMCA taking the time slot of another conservative talk-show host Barry Farber. In November, 1984, Grant was hired by WABC radio which two years earlier had changed from a rock and roll station to an all-talk format. Grant remained with WABC until April 17th, 1996 when he was again fired by the station for remarks made about then commerce secretary Ron Brown who was involved in a plane crash on April 3rd. When Brown was found dead, the station fired him for his remarks against Brown.
Grant then returned to WOR for ten years until 2006. Following that Grant returned to WABC until November, 2008 when his show was pulled. He did some internet broadcasting and then returned for a final time to WABC in 2009. He permanently retired on July 28th, 2013, due to failing health. His radio motto was "Let's Be Heard" which served as the title of his book.
