The first episode in the new time slot aired on September 8, 1980 with Snyder interviewing Rona Barrett as guest and announcing her arrival on the show on October 27. The program alternated between Snyder who was in New York City interviewing general interest guests and Barrett who was in Hollywood, filing entertainment reports. In January 1981, the show's name was changed to "Tomorrow Coast to Coast". It also adapted an instrumental version of Dan Hartman's "Relight My Fire" as its theme.
