Back when I was hot.
I had a shot at interviewing Donald Trump.
Maybe you can’t say shot anymore.
I had a chance to interview Trump.
I was at WABC in NYC.
Doing a show with another God of NYC...Regis.
Our producers were setting up an interview with Trump.
Trump requested they send me.
I recently told this story to a friend.
Her husband said...
“Well...
That was back when you were hot.”
So hot...
I got a job offer in LA.
Swimming pools, movies stars.
I left New York in a New York minute.
Missing my moment with Trump.
Years later...
He’d occasionally be a guest on my morning show.
He’d be funny, friendly.
And full of shit.
He’d make stuff up.
He’d say...
“The Apprentice is the number one show on TV.”
I’d say...
“It isn’t.”
He’d say...
“It is.
People tell me it is.”
Was he misinformed?
Delusional?
A snake oil salesman?
A liar?
It’s not nice to call BS on a guest.
And it’s not like he was running for President.
Years later...
He is running for President.
And he is still misinformed.
Delusional.
A snake oil salesman.
Or a liar.
As for me...
I’m using snake venom on my skin.
It’s supposed to keep the skin firm.
I’m no longer in the hot zone.
Just trying to maintain room temperature.
