THE LAST COLORTINI: Tom Snyder, anchor of the first noon news show and long-time late night host best known to my generation as David Letterman's choice to follow him with The Late Late Show for four years on CBS, has passed away from leukemia-related complications. He was 71.

Here are some highlights from his tenure with NBC's Tomorrow show, which preceded in the NBC late-late slot, as well as an interview with John Lydon that, um, went awry, and his 1981 interview with U2 ("Why do they call you 'The Edge' ... what the heck's up with that?")
