TOM SNYDER {DON RICKLES, LITTLE RICHARD} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of talk shows hosted by Tom Snyder. In this program, Snyder interviews insult comedian Don Rickles and pioneer rock singer Little Richard. Rickles comments on his friendship with fellow comedian Bob Newhart; the benefits a "half-assed" celebrity enjoys while traveling; his short-lived Fox network series "Daddy Dearest," with comedian Richard Lewis; the rise of "political correctness"; the renewed interest in his work among young people; his studies at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts; his enlistment in the military during World War II; and his many appearances with longtime talk-show host Johnny Carson. Little Richard recalls his first meeting with Elvis Presley; his childhood in Macon, Georgia; his father being robbed and murdered by one of his best friends; white singers covering his songs; fellow musician Bill Haley; and his influence on Michael Jackson and the artist formerly known as Prince. Reporter Janice Lieberman provides the Sports Business Minute which features an interview with Olympic Gold Medalist Mary Hogshead, who disapproves of a minimum age requirement for young athletes.
