In addition to saying his NBC bosses are jerks, he doesn't want to compete against 'Charlie's Angels' legs, and that the gray spot on his head makes him uncomfortable, Snyder reveals: "I am, on occasion, overbearing. I talk loud, I'm 6 feet 4 inches tall and difficult to get along with. But if people are afraid of me, that fear is unfounded. I've fallen in love with guests on the air on several occasions. You can't help it (one is Liv Ullmann, he says). I would like to be president of NBC. Now, of course, that is a very ! immodest statement because Fred Silverman is presi-! presi-! dent of NBC, and when he was given the job, I am sure i he said to himself then, and he does now, 'I know what to 1 do.' I have always considered myself just an ordinary guy going through this thing called life and I'm fortunate enough to have a little television program." Bye, Tom. i TV BACKSTAGE:.
