Snyder only liked having certain characters on. He didn't like people that he had to have on because he was told to do so. When he got to choose the guests, he was pretty good. But, that's no general excuse for laziness. Charlie Rose is much better.
Charlie Rose was great as host of the late night cbs show way back. Now when I watch him I can't get past his habit of interupting his guest, he will ask a question, then as the guest begins to answer Rose will interrupt and re-ask the same question in a slightly different way, as if he loves to hear himself talk.
I like Tom Snyder ... I don't think he was lazy -- he was the exact opposite of Jay Leno (pandering and sickeningly over-congratulatory), which resulted in extraordinary interviews with stars who didn't want to be treated any other way. TV is worse off without him, imho. just ma' two cents.
