Label: Shout Factory SF 10129 2 DVD's The American television station NBC presented some hard-hitting journalism between 1973 and 1982 when it gave some precious late-night airtime to chain-smoking talk show host Tom Snyder. THE TOMORROW SHOW was known for its provocative questions and the good humour of its host, but it also captured some legendary TV moments, such as the last ever televised interview with former Beatle John Lennon. The interview with Lennon, which originally aired in April 1975, is included here, and this compilation also includes segments in which Snyder meets up with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The interviews are the usual in-depth explorations that Snyder was known for, creating absorbing viewing for fans of both the Beatles and popular culture.
