Merv Griffin discusses death with author Raymond A. Moody, the father of the "Near Death Experience" movement, transforming the world and revolutionizing the way people think about death, and what lies beyond. In 1975 he published the book "Life After Life," which details one hundred fifty people who experienced "clinical death" and were revived. Topics discussed by Raymond Moody include: -Research based on 150 accounts by individuals experiencing death and returning to life. -Deaths by accidents, suicide, illness. -How legally died individuals leave their bodies and view doctors trying to resuscitate them. Guest Viola Horton recalls her death experience in May 1971. Guest Dr. George Richie, the man who inspired Raymond Moody to write his own book on the subject, relates his own death experience moment in December 1943. NOTE: Dr. George Richie's experience was the first contact Raymond Moody had with NDE's (near death experience) during his post-graduate studies and residency in psychiatry at the University of Virginia. This led Moody to investigate the phenomenon of NDE, more, and led him to write "Life after Life" in 1975, and subsequently two more books on the subject. Commercials include: Friskies, TV Guide, Campbell's Soup, Lipton Tea with Don Meredith, ADC Brand Coffee from Maxwell House, Birds Eye.

"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. The first 32 minutes of this broadcast is archived. Guest is Candy Barr, the famous stripper who was a friend of Lee Harvey Oswald's assassin Jack Ruby, was born Juanita Dale Slusher on July 6, 1935 in Edna, Texas. She began her stripping career in her native Texas, becoming famous in the clubs of Dallas (particularly after a drug bust) before playing lucrative venues in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New Orleans in the late 1950s. She reportedly made $2,000 a week (approximately $15,500 in 2012 dollars). At the opening, host Tom Snyder states that as a 19 year old teanager he knew of Candy Barr when he was first working for radio station WRIT in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and he has been waiting 22 years to finally meet her in person. The early years of Candy Barr is discussed including what it was like growing up on a rural farm, death of her mother when nine years of age, being sexually molested numerous times by the same adult when only five years of age and why she never told anyone about it, running away from home at 12 years of age, first experiences as an exotic dancer, marriage to a robber at the age of 14 and circumstances why she married at that young age, being forced to work as a stripper and prostitute at age 16, working for Barney Weinstein at The Theater Lounge, making the short sex film in 1951 called "Smart Alec," and not done of her own free will. Candy Barr admits that all of the sensational publicity surrounding her was least important. Love to dance, mostly. Tom Snyder discusses with Barr her 15 year conviction on charges of marijuana possession...admitting that presiding Judge Brown took pictures of her in the courtroom. She remembers the police barging in to her apartment and she giving them a small amount of weed...she and her boyfriend also in the apartment arrested. NOTE: At this point in the interview the 1/4" reel to reel tape expires, missing approximately 25 more minutes of discussion along with commercials. What has been archived is quite rare for it is the only instance that is known of Candy Barr appearing on a television talk show and discussing her life. An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder.

"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. Tom Snyder's solo guest is Milton Berle. Prior to many topics discussed, Snyder expresses his admiration for Milton Berle and relates to when he was in High School in 1951 watching The Texaco Star Theater and in awe of Uncle Miltie. In this very candid in depth and insightful interview Milton discusses his 1951 thirty year contract with NBC mentioning how it developed thru Pat Weaver and David Sarnoff...taking a 40% cut in pay, but regretting later that he could not work on any other network except NBC TV. Reflections on the first year of The Texaco Star Theater (1948) when the budget for each one hour live show was $15,000 of which Milton would receive $2,500. No writers that first year...giving up work in night clubs making $10,000 a week...huge increased salary by NBC in 1949 to Berle ($25,000 per show)...the challenges doing a live show with no cue cards, or applause overlays. Additional anecdotes about embarrassing incidents on the show, and how Milton did not even know his monologue until he went on the air live at 8pm. Milton Berle remembers how he was a stern taskmaster and why he was that way. He mentions to Tom Snyder that in 1952 he designed the NBC studio and created applause signs. Milton states that he did 580 live Texaco Star Theater and Milton Berle Shows on NBC, and to his astonishment most all of his shows, (kinescopes) which were originally created, were discarded at one point, as confirmed to him by Dave Tebet, NBC Vice President in charge of talent recruitment, to make space at the New Jersey Camden storage facility. Tom Snyder also relates to such scenario with his own Tomorrow Show stating that he was told by Tebet one day that all of his previous broadcasts recorded on 2" Quad Videotape, including those with icon guests were wiped and discarded from the New York and Burbank studio facilities. NOTE: Almost all pre-1978 Tomorrow Shows are not extant as COMPLETE BROADCASTS. However, the 1978 thru 1981 Tomorrow Shows, for the most part, have been archived. Milton talks about his stage mother and her domination over him always breaking up romances and greatly responsible for his first two divorces. Berle also discusses how his third marriage to Ruth faired much better. Also Milton talks of his son Billy age 15 and about to receive his pilot's license. Tom Snyder tries to get Milton to reveal who the mystery affair woman in his life was called "Linda." They discuss how Berle was the first entertainer to appear on the cover of Newsweek and Time Magazine in 1949, and Milton being the first to host a 24 hours TV telethon for The Damon Runyard Cancer Memorial Organization. Other anecdotes include remembrances of Fulton J. Sheen, Arnold Stang, Ruth Gilbert, Sid Stone and Milton Frome. The broadcast concludes with Milton Berle telling Tom Snyder what is his doing now in 1977. 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.

Tom Snyder discusses rumors related to himself, all untrue. Examples such as he will be returning to broadcasting the News on NBC, and considering anchoring the Today Show. Frank Capra discusses a myriad of topics including the telecasting of the Academy Awards (too long), He states that when making motion pictures there are no bad actors, only bad directors...remembering making "Dirigible" (1931) and using "dry ice" in actor's mouths to assimilate vapor which created major problems for the actors. Favorite actors he has worked with...his first entrance in films as a director for Walter Montague making a 12 minute short film, "The Ballad of Fisher's Boarding House" in two days with amatuer actors, Capra remembers working for Mack Sennett and Hal Roach as a writer...his great five Oscar winning film "It Happened One NIght," at which time he thought this is the profession he wanted to be in for the rest of his life (up till then not sure). Frank Capra relates to Tom Snyder how he got a reluctant Claudette Colbert to lift her skirt in a scene. He states that most of his films had an Idealistic point of view focusing on the average man and how "lost causes" are never given into. The effect of Television is discussed and Capra admits that as marvelous as this media is he could never work in it because he would not be able to have the independence that he required to make a film of his choosing. 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.
