Letterman usually tapes in the afternoon the day of the show, unless he's on vacation.

Letterman tapes his Monday and Friday shows on Monday. I think the Friday show used to be taped on Thursday, which made more sense. But Letterman is 60 years old, has had bypass surgery, and has a toddler running around at home. I'll give the guy a break.

As far as Tom Snyder goes, I wished I had known about him sooner (i was only a teenager during his CBS show) but watched it by accident one night and instantly compared to one of my all-time favorites, Later with Bob Costas (although Snyder had the format first, it turned out). Ever since that night I always made sure to tape at least the first 10-15 minutes of Tom's show to hear the stories about Mother Snyder, the Companion, Oliver the sheepdog, and the good ol' days of American broadcasting. And, of course, it was live which made it even better. I was as sad to hear about his passing as I was about his retirement. Fortunately, he then went online with Colortini.com and although it wasn't the same without that laugh , it was great to have him back in some capacity.
RIP, Mr. Snyder
