"The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder" began in October 1973 in the late-night time slot following Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" and continued in one form or another until January 1982. As punk and new wave music emerged, "The Tomorrow Show" welcomed many of the genres' earliest figures for interviews as well as live performances. In 1977, Snyder hosted a roundtable forum with musicians Joan Jett, Paul Weller, scene-ster Kim Fowley, concert promoter Bill Graham, and music journalist Robert Hilburn. Snyder went on to interview punk rock poet Patti Smith and outspoken Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon, the latter of which evolved into a now-legendary shouting match between the guest and host. In 1981, "The Tomorrow Show" began airing with live musical performances, including standouts "Watch Your Step" by Elvis Costello & The Attractions, "I Wanna Be Sedated" by the Ramones, "Funeral Pyre" by The Jam, and more.
