Two late night conversations with TV critic icon Tom Shales, who passed away at 79 yesterday, January 13, 2024.

1. January 14, 1991: Later with Bob Costas. Tom is 46 here.
2. July 25, 1997: Late Late Show with guest-host Jon Stewart. Tom at 52.

Sorry about the overall quality of the Costas video. It tracks better on another VCR that's no longer functional.
