Tom Snyder is my favourite ever US interviewer. Such a great guy and a true professional. Sorely missed.

[chrismiller]

I've never before seen Robert Duvall on a talk show. This was a great interview. He and Tom had undeniable chemistry.

[Trampus]

Wish that interview could have been at least a hour long. So admire Robert Duvall!

[linkbiff]

Tom is one of the few talk-show hosts that seems legit interested in who he interviews.

[DaveHalpernShortSale]

I like how Robert Duvall says that winning the Oscar is very political.

[stephengiese]

Very spirited visit. Both were very energized and animated. Liked them both. Rip tom .keep on keeping on bob😀

Just a great, great interview by Tom Snyder with a true legend. Duvall is of a dying breed of actors. Hard to say which is my favorite Robert Duval movie, but Open Range comes to mind. I saw an interview with Duvall last week done on tape at his Virginia home conducted by Collbert and it fell flat. Tom Synder gets his guests up for the show.

I'm glad I found your channel. I really enjoyed Tom's Late Late Show.

[kimwestwood]

One of my favorites of all time. The Apostle was great

Robert Duvall was very down to earth, a real guy.

[mirazusta]

Great personality, and fabulous actor Robert Duvall. Thank you for posting.

[SM-glyo]

Tom forgot to mention "To Kill A Mockingbird", another one of Mr. Duvall's wonderful performances and such an iconic film.

[Applecompuser]

One of my top 10 favorite actors of all time. He really stole the show in Apocalypse Now.

[kevinferris]

What a great conversation. I would love to know Robert Duvall as a friend. Great story teller...

[johnb]

Snyder's the only guy I've seen go toe to toe with James Woods, and he can also work with quiet middle America guys like Duvall. He's got great range.

[roberta.]

Tom was an outstanding interviewer and talent. Robert Duvall is legend.

[no_handle_required]

Duvall talks about Cruise being bankable etc, yet he doesn't understand that he blows people like Cruise away in spades. What a class act.

[steverussell]

I am in your future. This is 2024. Robert Duvall did an excellent job in the western Lonesome Dove when it does come out for you gentlemen watch it you will not be disappointed.

[YahooMurray]

Lonesome Dove was the greatest acting I ever saw - and Duvall was best.
