Following John Lennon's murder on 8 December 1980, his 1975 "Tomorrow" interview with Snyder was replayed in its entirety the next night on the show. Introducing the five-year-old interview about to be replayed, Snyder referred to it as "not terrific, not terribly entertaining or enlightening, containing no historical information or anything new, but having little bits of stuff and substance of a man who was part of change, a revolution if you will, in popular music during the 1960s". The interview was soon even released on home video where it became a cult favorite. Asked about the Lennon interview years later, Snyder reiterated that it was not a great one in his view and that it would have long since lapsed into obscurity had Lennon not been shot.
