"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE.
October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982.
Guests are George Carlin, and Robert Klein.
Topics of discussion include:
The seven words that cannot be said of television, Carlin's metamorphosis through the years...development, and personal changes. Carlin's busy schedule including making 75 appearances a year...the difference between concert performances and performing in Las Vegas.
Robert Klein relates as well. His definition of what is a stand-up comedian, accrediting Rodney Dangerfield as a mentor.
George Carlin states that the audience shapes the art of the comedy that is performed. Not wanting to do a TV series because of so many restrictions that one has to agree to. Loves doing personal comedy and writing which is a very lonely process.
Robert Klein views very few comedy series as iconic such as The Honeymooners. Both discuss the merits of That Was The Week That Was.
The discussion moves to film financing and those challenges. Carlin remembers his roots, beginning as a Disc Jockey, Robert Klein beginning as a school teacher, including always humor into his teaching. At one time Robert Klein admits, until he went to college, he has aspirations of becoming a surgeon.
The subject of taboos in comedy is discussed.
