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!)

After I finished talking I continued filming as I enjoyed the Westchester County sunset with Martha. If you like, you can enjoy it along with me.
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Chili”
This was ‘Chili’ the red Husky.
He belonged to Uno.
He was only 6.
For some unknown reason, he became a fear biter.
If he thought you were going to grab his collar, especially if he was in his ‘crate’ he would snap or bite.
Otherwise he was a wonderful dog.
For some reason, I was one f his favorite humans. He would lose his mind whenever I visited.
He ‘bit’ his third person…
So he had to be put down.
I will miss him terribly.
