TOM SNYDER INTERVIEWS HOWARD COSELL ON TV!  

Agreed. Tom's interviews with Sterling Hayden in particular are among my favorite televised interviews ever.

@@oldtimeradionut Thank you so much for your comment. I think Tom Snyder was the best conversationalist. I don't think we will ever see any tv program again that is conversational.

I don't think Howard would be happy with the state of the world right now.

@@zulyhallelujah9257 Guaranteed!

With Howard sitting 4 feet away, "Stay tuned for next week's interview with Marilyn Chambers..." Tom was nimble.

He is an American icon! His friendship with Ali was sweet!

Always, Bill! 😀

He really was insightful. I don't know of anyone today who could hold a conversation like Tom could. Seems every TV interview today is 3 minutes. I was so lucky to have worked on "Tomorrow".

@@TomChasuk I got to know about Tom Snyder when he did the late show. Back when I used to stay up late every night to watch him. LOL! I stopped watching any late night pretty much after his show went off.

@@chrisgreulich I never watch any late night TV. None compare to Tom Snyder.

I agree. They should have had their own show.😃

We agree, John. I’m glad you enjoyed the interview. 😊

So true. 😃

I loved that voice. This Howard Cosell in New York speaking of sports.

@@cudaus1 I accidentally removed the last response to TJ The person,”AP”, commented “Tom Snyder wasn’t a sportscaster?” . I was trying to reply that Howard Cosell was the sportscaster. I didn’t mean to remove his comment and I apologize.

@@TomChasuk I was being sarcastic and giving Tom Snyder his due lol

lol 😂

Completely agree!😃

Thanks Glen, I love your comment!😍

You are so right! 😊

I agree, Corea. I don’t think there are any shows that come close.

@@mdarrenu Yes, that would be interesting to hear his thoughts about everything! Thanks for taking time to comment! 😀

He use to tell it as it is with today's PC he would not be able to do network TV

@@andrewperryman8490 You are so right about that!

Hi Stephen. Loved that he always said what he was thinking! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much Appeciated. 😃

@@TomChasuk you are welcome! I always enjoyed Howard speaking because he was a lawyer like my father was. Speaking and language were very important to him because he was an immigrant from germany in the 20s.

@@stephengiese7549 Wow...your father had quite a story to tell. Thanks for sharing, Stephen! 😀

Love this, Adrian. 😍

That is so true, Charles. 😀

Thank you, Paul...and thank you for watching.😃

This is the best interview of Howard Cosell I’ve seen. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you, DrMidnight. I appreciate your taking time to comment.

Totally agree

I see what you mean! I think that’s why I could listen to him for hours! 😀

I like your story! 😊 I’m still looking up his words! 😊

Yeah, he saw himself as an expert on the English language....but he wasn't.

@@jamesanthony5681 I don't think Howard saw himself as an expert on the English language. I'm sure he saw himself as someone who had an extraordinary vocabulary, which he certainly did.

@@ieronimo18 Of course he saw himself as a grammar expert. He admonished Johnny Carson and Al Michaels on 2 occasions in the use of who/whom when asking a question. Carson - a smart man himself who had been to college - said Cosell was wrong (with a reason) the following day on the *Tonight Show* . Cosell's 'extraordinary vocabulary' consisted of using 3, 4, 5+ syllable words completely out of context in many examples. Cosell was a former NYC lawyer and not an unintelligent man.

Hi Finch! Yes, he was both smart and entertaining. 😀

Michael, that is so true. Is there anyone today you could say the same thing about?😃

Down goes Frazia! Down goes Frazia! Down goes Frazia!

@@TomChasuk Cosell's language was so overblown and pretentious.

@@humanbeing2420 I know other have that opinion too, but I find it entertaining. I also like to hear someone who has a large vocabulary...probably because I don't. I appreciate your commenting. Thanks for watching!

Howard was a blast! Do I denote a touch of truculence Ali? He and Ali were a team.

That is hilarious! 😂

So true, Robert! 😍

Was he friendly?

Agreed. He was so funny!😂

You’re very welcome, Enrique.😊

Yes, and it was very infectious!😃

@@TomChasuk gotta watch Ace Frehley after this.

@@bigroy38 Roy, That is the funniest clip of Ace!🤣

@@bigroy38 Peter Criss: 'If I could relive, I'd love to be in the 20's/30's, like Dillinger & Baby Face Nelson'. Gene Simmons: 'In the movies! You see, I try to bail him out' (Gene born 1949. Peter 1945) I think Ace & Peter refers to Gene as the "Mother Superior" after that silly comment. Another favorite of mine from that 1979 Tom Snyder interview is: Tom Snyder: 'Who do you think is the audience for KISS'? 'Who do you play to'? Paul Stanley: 'It really looks like the Ringling Bros., cos you see parents, six year olds, and 25 year olds, it really appeals to a lot of'............ Ace Frehley: ....................'And if we did a concert in Bombay, it would even be COWS'!😉

Thanks, John. Loved your comment! 😊

@@TomChasuk I don't know who you are but Howard is exemplary in that - just as with many extraordinary Americans, we didn't get it. To hear Howard explain, constitutionally, exactly why he responded as he did in Muhammad Ali's case, is to receive a very necessary intensive course in jurisprudence. Do we have any in sports broadcasting today with a moral and ethical north such as Howard's .. I know that I don't have a name to offer in this regard. .. which makes all the words he spoke ever so much more golden ..

@@johnwakefield8570 There is one person who is very good at explaining the Constitution. He's not a sportscaster. He's a radio talk show and TV host. Mark Levin. Thanks so much for commenting.

That is so nice to hear, Edward! I was so fortunate to work on “Tomorrow” both in Burbank and New York. I miss those days!

Same here 😂

I think Tom's relationship with his pet sheepdog got a bit out-of-hand.

70's style for sure!

Good to hear from you, Don. Yes he was very passionate. You could tell he loved what he was doing.😀

I’m with you, Richard!

He wasn’t afraid to tell it as/like it is! 👍 Thanks for watching and for commenting! 😀

How true! Thank you for your comment. 😀

I grew up watching and listening to HC in the 1970s. Mr. Corsell was fearless in the broadcasting both. He never sugarcoated his commentaries. If he called a coach, manager, player, commissioner, owner or even a fan a useless idiot, unless they prove him wrong, he stood by his words. There was no apology, no cancel culture. It was just Mr. Cosell being himself, expressing his colorful opinion.

@@mutleymutley7474 There aren’t any like him that I can think of can you? 😀

@@TomChasuk None! Everybody in sports broadcasting today is on eggshells. Can you imagine HC addressing a transgender athlete today? I can. He would not be short of words.

@@mutleymutley7474YOU ARE SO RIGHT! No opinions of their own…only “group think”.

Thank you for sharing your story! It’s nice to hear how friendly he was. 😀

He had a gift to be able to make the most boring football game tolerable if not exciting. Loved his interactions with Dandy Don Meredith.

I don’t remember that. I’ll have to look it up.

Madison. That was the *Odd Couple* . A sitcom. On ABC TV in the 1970's.

Cosell was his greatest defender.😊

@@TomChasuk In fact, in one interview that he did with Ali I believe he did tell him that he loved him.

@@cudaus1 I'll have to check that out 😄

He was so good. Thank you for commenting and for watching.

He was under our underbelly because he was a bloodsucking parasitic insect.

I agree! I don’t think we will ever see interviews or shows like this again 🥲

Yes both of them were.😊

Thank you, Michael. So horrible.

December 8, 1980. Monday Night Football game. Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots.💥 'YES, WE HAVE TO SAY IT! Remember this is just a football game, no matter who wins or loses. An unspeakable tragedy confirmed to us by ABC News in New York City! John Lennon, outside of his apartment building, on the West Side of Manhattan. The most famous, perhaps, of all of The Beatles, SHOT TWICE in the back, rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, dead on arrival' 😲😳WTF?

It was for sure! It was a closely contested contest with an abrupt ending no one saw coming. Still waiting for the rematch!

I haven’t seen the movie “Bananas”…but now I have too 😀

@@TomChasuk The entire movie is worth a look but if you're just interested in the Cosell parts, they are at the very beginning and end of the movie. Would take all of 10 minutes to watch...funny stuff!

Thank you, Charles, I’ll check it out!

I think that was on Monday Night Football.

@@stephenfisch615 No MNF was a short halftime chat. The long interview is a radio interview.

Yes they are both so funny in this interview. Thanks for commenting.

He sure was! Thank you for commenting, Randall. 😊

@@andrewperryman8490 Andrew, that had to be exciting! 😀

Hey, shackdaddy, thank you for commenting! 😀

You are so right!😥

or truth tellers on fox/russia today like media.

That would be interesting! 😊 Thanks for commenting and for writing!

What did Howard think of Richard Raskind/Renée Richards? Not quite the same, perhaps.

You are so right, Frederick. Thanks for watching and for commenting. Very much appreciated. 😀

Intellectual insights? Howard Cosell?? You kidding?

I can’t see another show like this again. There aren’t any hosts like Tom…and there are few guests who will tell it like it is. 😊

That was so funny! 😂

I think I might only understand 2%.😄

Hi John, Many would agree with you! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much Appreciated! 😀

Thanks for commenting, Michael.

Thank you, beagleman

I loved your comment, Michael. Thanks for watching! 😀

Thanks for watching! I don’t know if Mr. Depp was into sports or not. Johnny Depp was born on 6/9/63 so you are correct. He became a teenager the day this aired in 1976. 😊

Y’all just say silly stuff all the time, social justice, isn’t about waiting for someone to say something silly and than want them to be canceled! Social justice is about changing laws that discriminate against a group of people, it’s about leveling the playing field,so folks who don’t look like you get the same opportunity you have in every aspect of life from, business to housing to law enforcement.. read sometimes you might learn 😮

The man was a lawyer who believed in law and order. If you think that's SJW that's on you. What is next? The 5th and 14th Amendments are woke? You are dense

The meaning of “social justice” has changed. Back in the day, it meant something honorable. Fighting for civil rights, calling out injustice where you saw it. Today, it’s used ironically - as if people no longer comprehend that fighting for justice is a truly noble human instinct. Now, it’s ridiculed. Which is a real shame.

I don't think the announcers are about to bite the hand that feeds them.

I get to watch 3 games on Sunday, and then Monday nite, only the Thursday game is pay per view, ( most Thursday games r mediocre, only 3 days rest, ,

I'd rather have Cosel than Legos. Him on Mnf or boxing lured me like a twenty to a hore

Per the “slate”. ..”VTR DATE TUES JUNE 8, ‘76-7:35P…PB (playback) WEDS-JUNE 9, ‘76-1AM”

Well, Freddy, we can’t all agree 😊 I found him to be quite entertaining. I appreciate your taking time to comment. Thank you.

That's the way I feel about bad spellers.

I'm sorry, could you repeat that...
