Just saw this quote in an old interview I did from 2006. Note the Trump reference- it’s hard to remember when Trump was “just” a reality-TV host. And before that, a well-known rich guy.
(I’ll post the article below if you find it interesting)
This part was referring to an internet-based “cat reality show” I had hosted around that time-
Int: Was there a particular pun on the show you enjoyed most?
Tom “My weekly catchphrase "You are Meowta here!" Not that it's not a stupid thing to have to say every episode, but I always wanted my own TV catchphrase, like Fonzy or Freddie Prince. Or Trump.”
What a trio huh? Fonzy (Aaaaaayyyy!) Freddie Prinze (Looking Good!) and Trump, (You’re Fired)
Here’s the rest of this (remember, it’s from 17 years ago!)

we got bumped last night (but it will air tonight)
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Happy Father’s Day?!?”
Our children compete with each other to be the first to call us on holidays and birthdays.
The Prodigal called me this morning;
“Happy Fathers day!”
“Thanks but I don’t think it’s Father’s Day.”
@The_CINC looked it up
“It’s next Sunday, Fathers day is the third Sunday in June.”
She announced
“Well, I’m first for sure this year!”
“Yes you are!”
Love that little boy….
At 37, he’s not really a little boy anymore.
