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 thought I might beat Michael to this post. Look at this video how often do you do this? I recorded all our entrances including Greg and then I went around the panel to show all the people who are on tonight- then I pressed the button to stop but I wasn’t taping (i do this a lot)
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:

Tom, I’m not sure if I have told you recently how awesome you are with all the people you interact with and all the details of your life that you remember me. I want to express to you that it makes me feel pretty special. Last night at the hotel people were approaching me saying YOU’RE NURSE PAM!! The bright blue shirt + your wonderful recognition of a fan gave me a chance to make several new friends. How oddly wonderful to be a pseudo-celebrity lol 😂 even briefly. Thanks Tom, you’re the best 🩷
“And so,”
It begins.
Short ride today, only 150 miles.
We are going to catch the Redmond ferry across the Puget Sound to the Olympic peninsula. Where we will pick up US Rt 101 (the 101 for you Californians). Then ride up around the top of the peninsula to the ‘Quileute Oceanside Resort’.
It’s a campground on the Pacific Ocean in the Quileute Indian reservation
We of course will be making stops along the way for interesting locations.
