The original listings from 2001: TOM SNYDER, at home in California Mo 3/12 Dinner with The Companion Tu 3/13 Frisbee(tm) in the park with Oliver We 3/14 Recount all $200,000 made during 1971 skyjacking as "D.B. Cooper" Th 3/15 Grocery shopping, out of Ovaltine and Kiwi shoe polish Fr 3/16 Take The Companion to a movie and complain about all the swearing, leave halfway through, go home and pop "The Last Days of Pompeii" in the DVD player. Man, they knew how to make movies back then, didn't they? And Mr Snyder's response: "I've had several inquiries about a new show I am supposedly doing for late night. A writer named Tom Heald wrote some material for a website named TVBarn.com. It is run by Aaron Barnhart, who is the television critic for the Kansas City Star. Mr. Heald, as a joke, ran a schedule of shows entitled "Tom Snyder, At Home in California." The topics ranged from "Dinner with The Companion" to "Frisbee in the Park with Oliver." Some people got the joke. But some thought it was for real. I am here to tell you that it isn't. However, I am not at all peeved at Mr. Heald. Seven years ago a television writer for the New York Daily News, named David Bianculli, playfully suggested that CBS put me on after Dave Letterman. Had he not done that The Late Late Show probably would never have happened." -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
