I wilUdmit that. I will admit that I am out of touch with the Howard Stern kind of humor," Snyder says. And he never quite recovers. Stern takes control of the interview and never really lets go. He controls the direction of the interview and ends up asking as many questions as he answers.

"You have bad-rapped me before," Stern says.

"I've read various newspaper articles before where you have said that you don't like what I do. Isn't that true?" "I have said that I am not a fan of your format," Snyder answers.

Tom Snyder and Howard Stern, two of the strangest egos in Western civilization, butt heads tonight on "Later," NBC's distinguished late-night talk show. It's hilarious, wrong-headed, comical and ultimately sad. This means it's great television. Snyder (how soon we forgetJ) preceded David Letterman on NBC's late-night roster, as host of the "Tomorrow" show. He was VERY hot in the '70s.

Today, he works in Los Angeles for the ABC network, doing talk radio. This week, he is the guest host for Bob Costas. In his prime, though, Snyder was a local TV news anchor in Los Angeles and New York. He was brash, outspoken, controversial and relentlessly middlebrow. He's tall, he wears casual clothes and he combs his hair over.

Stern, radio's bad boy, was very hot in the '80s. He got jammed by the Federal Communications Commission a few years ago for his sexual and scatalogical humor. His morning show is heard in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, and is going to Los Angeles.

Each, in his own way, is certain of the other's lack of these qualities.

And each, in his own way, is correct. "Howard, it's a pleasure to meet you after Snyder all these years of mutual attack," Snyder says after a brief introduction of his guest's radio and TV credits. Stern doesn't bite. He is gracious, acknowledging his introduction. Then Snyder tries to pop him with the first question, something about "shock radio," and doesn't get a chance to finish the question.

Stern interrupts: "Are we going to work out this BARGAIN 12 SUNDER $250 BEFORE 4 PM SATS SUN. BEFORE 5 30 PM MON. THRU FRI. MON-THURS (R) 1:10,3:30,7:00,9:30 MON-THURS 1:00,3:20, 7:15, 9:20 13) 13)MON THURS 7:15.9:25 3:30. 7:10.
