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!)

I find this woman’s response to be ridiculous enough to dismiss but interesting enough to discuss
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Radical Islam”
What is the single most dangerous issue we face with ‘Radical Islam’?
There is no such thing as ‘Radical Islam’.
It’s just Islam.
If you are an adherent of Islam, and you’ve committed the most egregious sins imaginable. All your transgressions are forgiven and you will go straight to paradise, by killing infidels.
