Since I was looking for that old Redeye clip yesterday I came across this. The first two weeks of RE and the two weeks of my book release were both a blizzard of promotion- so I remember none of it. It's fun for me to look back and read these interviews and read it as an "outsider." Doesn't this guy seem almost annoyingly upbeat? I realize I like to keep a positive attitude but this is ridiculous! Half kidding really, if I read this interview I would probably tune in to the show to see what this guy is all about.

Int:
Congratulations on the new gig.
Tom:
I’m very excited.
Int:
Before the official announcement, you tweeted, “A guy gets asked to host his favorite show.” Is Red Eye truly your favorite show?
Tom:
Yes! I saw the very first show and thought, “Whoa, this show is a mess, but it’s really entertaining.” It was so raw and unpredictable. I wondered if I was the only one watching it. Gradually, I realized that it had kind of a cult following. I always thought, “I’d love to be a guest on that show, but I’m not going to humble myself and call them and beg.” Then, one day, they gave me a call and asked me to be a guest on the show. That started my relationship with the show. It was my favorite show to watch. One of the things about doing the show as a panelist is that … I liked to just sit back and watch it from home and be objective. When I became a part of the regular crew, it kind of became my thing now, so I couldn’t be one of the fans any more. I never thought I would take over as host of the show. Once I started guest hosting I thought, “If Greg ever leaves this gig, I think I could step up and do this. I wonder if they would consider me?” It came to be. It’s a dream come true.

sometimes I upload and it gives me a message that the video is "processing" but it never fully does! So anyway this one is from March 2nd
Also- I'm making the announcement before Michael does- I'll be on Jesse W Primetime tonight with CHARLIE guest hosting. so that probably means 8:50 or so. I guarantee we will be discussing the Oscars and other HOLLYWEIRD issues
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
Shillue was great on "Gutfeld!" Thursday night, although I think I prefer his old outfit with the Polo plaid ties to his new "Yacht Mannequin" clothes.
“Cowboy Church”
We recently started watching the series ‘Yellowstone’. I had avoided it because I found Kevin Costner’s gravely voice affectation annoying.
My beautiful bride cajoled me into watching the prequels 1883, and 1923 first. Now we are on the second season of ‘Yellowstone’.
The reason I’ve added this preamble to the following story that I’ve related before, is that it takes place in ‘Paradise Valley’. The local town is Emigrant MT. The location of the Dutton ranch in the ‘Yellowstone’ series. In fact, we went to a ‘Rocky Mountain Oyster’ festival at the saloon in ‘Downtown’ Emigrant MT.
The ‘Cowboy Church’ we attended was held at ‘Cowboy Mike’s’ Ranch.
His ranch house consisted of a barn, with an Apartment where the hayloft would be located. Unfortunately, it was all destroyed a year later in the bad floods from the Yellowstone River.
We were invited to ‘Cowboy Church’ during one of our first visits to Montana.
‘Cowboy Church’ involves the ...
