The Late Late Show (American talk show): Difference between revisions

[[Tom Snyder]] hosted the program from its inception in January 1995 until March 1999. The choice of Snyder as host was made by [[David Letterman]], whose contract with CBS gave him (via production company [[Worldwide Pants]]) the power to produce the show in the timeslottime slot immediately after his own program and who had an affinity for Snyder, whose NBC late night series ''[[The Tomorrow Show|Tomorrow]]'' had been succeeded by ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]''. The time slot on CBS previously carried repeats of ''[[Crimetime After Primetime]]''. Snyder departed [[CNBC]] to host ''The Late Late Show'' on CBS.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-01-09/features/1995009116_1_tom-snyder-show-with-tom-late-late|title=After a lo-o-o-ong wait, it's Tom Snyder TURNED ON IN L.A.|last=Zurawik|first=David|date=9 January 1995|work=[[The Baltimore Sun]]|access-date=7 May 2015}}</ref>
