    Dave and T.S. were the very best two hours of Late Night Television in the mid to late 1990's. I have often wondered why David did not appear on "The Late Late Show" after 1997. Did he and Tom have a falling out? Great segments. Thanks for sharing.

    I simply cannot thank you enough for posting this! Dave’s off center sense of humor included - these were masters of their craft. And it really goes to show that you don’t have to be the same type to appreciate real talent. Tom & Dave’s styles were absolutely different - but Dave especially saw the genius that was Tom Synder finding fascinating conversation - sometimes seemingly plucking it out of thin air. And unlike Carson, Dave saw Tom Synder as a brilliant, intellectual and sometimes just plain charming, compliment to his own show. I watched The Late Late Show all while I was in high school - and seeing Tom Synder in top form again fills me with joy and just a little bit of sadness realizing this type of late night persona is gone forever.

      @@gstockwell5315 I’m relatively sure that the music was especially composed for the show - the various takes are pretty short - the show intro, an interlude between commercial breaks, and a longer one during the Friday night full credits - and so they likely wouldn’t be available on any commercial release.

    I miss late night shows like Tom's, more of a conversation usually with just one person and not just a line-up celeb's giving a five minute sales pitch for whatever their latest project was; you got more of a sense of what the person was really like - good or bad. Tom, Dick Cavett, and most of all....Les Crane.

    Don, I know you're 'on the inside' with WWP now, but if your schedule permits I'm sure your audience would love to see more TLLS content from all three host eras during its WWP ownership. Tom Snyder was truly a treasure, Craig Ferguson always was entertaining; and while he may not have been everyone's favorite cup of tea, the amount of TLLS with Craig Kilborn content is remarkably little given his five years behind the desk. If you documented/kept those to even 1/10th the level you did LSwDL? I for one would enjoy seeing more of it.

    • @dongiller

      I loved Scottish Conan Guy and taped all of his shows as well as Kilborn’s, which didn’t grab me as much.
      But I’ve digitized none of them (except for that small tribute to Grant Imahara).
      Also, I’d need permission. This latest upload came about from circumstances I can’t really talk about, but it was a special agreement. I doubt the same would apply to Kilborn and Ferguson.
