Barry Gray was an American radio personality, often referred to as "the father of talk radio." His late-night New York City radio talk show was carried by WOR radio and then later by WMCA. Barry Gray returned to WMCA in 1950, and stayed there for 39 years, refining the talk show format still utilized today. During the 1960s, he was in the odd position of having an 11 p.m.-1 a.m. late-night talk show on a station otherwise dominated by Top 40 music and the youth-targeted "Good Guys" disc jockey campaign. But for teenagers who kept their radios on into the night, Gray's show was a window into the high-brow New York culture of the 1940s and 1950s. Guest: American astronomer Robert Jastrow. (Part one).

"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. This broadcast featured the first of four discussions about mental illness, broadcast on location at the Rockland Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg, New York. Tom Snyder interviews blind patient Pat Archer who discusses her life at Rockland the past 25 years, the drugs offered to her including Nervine, and her reason for being at Rockland Psychiatric Center. Patients David Wolf and Bertha Clark discuss their need for rehabilitation and their views of the programs they are in and if they believe they have been effective... pros and cons and effects of medications consumed including Lithium. Betty Oliver is interviewed. She has been at Rockland since 1942 and is now its director. She tells Tom what happens to patients when they leave an institutional setting and how they will adapt once on their own again. Billy Williams, Rockland Psychiatric Center coordinator for all the wards at the facility, talks about drug programs, need for greater trained staff and approach to communicating with patients. NOTE: This video taped broadcast was executed using an extreme "noisy" location environment creating certain interviews, by Tom Snyder, not very pristine. Some of the interviews were conducted with great ambient sound in the background, rendering a less than desirable sound track, discernable, but not as professional as one would expect from a Tomorrow Show sound engineer. Other segment interviews were done in more quiet locations and produced much better sound fidelity. This broadcast was joined in progress. Only the opening of the program is missing, otherwise this audio air check is complete. An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder. Network television's first entry into late-late-night programming on weeknights Monday thru Thursday, usually broadcasting on tape 1 AM to 2 AM. "Tomorrow" was expanded to 90 minutes on September 16, 1980.

"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. Playwright, author Neil Simon is Tom Snyder's solo guest. It was the only time Simon was interviewed by Snyder on The Tomorrow Show...who did make an appearance on the show, September 17, 1981 with Charles Grodin subbing for Tom Snyder. Other guests on that show were Simon's wife Marsha Mason and Roberta Flack. INTERESTINGLY, THE SEPTEMBER 29, 1977 APPEARANCE BY SIMON IS NOT LISTED IN ANY REFERENCE RESOURCE, INCLUDING IMDb. Not only has it been lost but forgotten by most. For this reason, and because so many salient anecdotes are expressed related to Neil Simon's early career, his personal life and his philosophy about his craft, this specific TV Audio Air Check has been time consuming and successfully restored by Phil Gries from the original 1/4" reel to reel master recording (mechanical tape recorder issues at the time of taping resulted in the tape itself disengaging from the pinch roller, that stabilizes the tape's constant speed movement losing sound, or rendering sound unrecognizable). In the process of many hours "saving" this reel of tape, approximately 15 minutes of air time has been lost. However, 34 minutes of programming has been saved of what has become a rare interview in time when Neil Simon had just moved to California from m his beloved New York environment. The broadcast opens with the theme music "Give My Regards to Broadway," from the Warner Brothers album saluting the James Cagney classic film "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Snider states that he listens to this melody every night at home, now that he lives alone. Neil Simon compares the difference living in New York vs living in California. He discuses his plays including California Suite, Star Spangled Girl. the Good Doctor, and Barefoot in the Park. Simon explains that he feels safe writing behind a typewriter as opposed to acting or even speaking before other people. He and Tom relive the glory days when Your Show of Shows starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca were creative breeding grounds for the likes of Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and others including himself. Simon states that he learned satire and timing and editing during his two years writing for Caesar, and also explains why he wanted to leave the show. Producer Max Liebman is fondly remembered, as well as his special relationship with Carl Reiner, and his brother Danny Simon. Other topics include the death of Simon's first wife, Joan, his marriage to Marsha Mason, his working habits, and his habitual need to continue to write. An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder. Network television's first entry into late-late-night programming on weeknights Monday thru Thursday, usually broadcasting on tape 1 AM to 2 AM. "Tomorrow" was expanded to 90 minutes on September 16, 1980, which lasted only 15 months prior to the entire series leaving the air.

"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. This program scheduled to be broadcast on August 10, 1976, but pre-empted due to extended NBC TV coverage of the Republican Convention. Rescheduled and presented for the first time on Sept. 30, 1976. An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder. Network television's first entry into late-late-night programming on weeknights Monday thru Thursday, usually broadcasting on tape 1 AM to 2 AM. "Tomorrow" was expanded to 90 minutes on September 16, 1980. NOTE: The interview between Harry Reems and Tom Snyder predominantly centers on Reems' appearance in Deep Throat (1972), making only $100 for his services. He was originally hired to be a grip, and tells how the main actor was replaced by him at the request of director Gerry Damiano. His appearance in the film eventually led to his arrest by FBI agents in New York City in July 1974. and his indictment in Memphis, Tennessee, in June 1975 on federal charges of conspiracy to distribute obscenity across state lines. Reems called it forum shopping. and explains why co-star Linda Lovelace and director and co-producer Gerry Damiano were not indicted. Harry Reems was convicted in April 1976 with 11 other individuals and four corporations. Reems' conviction was eventually overturned on appeal in April 1977, prior to his appearance on the Tomorrow Show where he discussed the case, at that time, joined by his attorney Alan Dershowitz. The defense argued he was the first American actor to ever be prosecuted by the federal government merely for appearing in a film. Reems tells Tom Snyder how he received considerable support from established Hollywood and New York celebrities during his trial, including Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Shirley MacLaine, and many others including IATSE union representatives. He also talks about his early life and how/why he entered porno films. NOTE: The master 1/4" reel to reel audio tape was in poor condition suffering from sticky shed syndrome. Since it represents the only known broadcast copy in any form of this Tomorrow Show, which is not known to exist, the tape was baked and then reconstructed in segments by Phil Gries using special techniques to create a pristine sounding complete air check. Commercials have been deleted.
