Indeed, you suck at grammar so much that you are making fun of correct grammar. “Tom and me” in that context is an object, not a subject and “me” is the correct pronoun. Think about it if “Tom” wasn’t there. Which sounds better – “What better place for me to exercise this interest” or “What better place for I to exercise this interest”? The second one sounds ridiculous, “me” is correct. The pronoun doesn’t change just because you are adding someone else to the sentence. Sorry to be a grammar nerd, but I couldn’t let it pass.

lovett – I really don’t see the value in pointing out grammatical inconsistencies within a published QUOTE.

Do you honestly think Whoopi reads this site and might learn something here?!

DMG, lovett was talking to me. I wrote that i thought that Whoopi should have said, tom and i, but i wasn’t sure…but i didn’t say it in a mean fashion at all, i was questioning it. i fixed it, since it was debatable and after lovett wrote that i “indeed sucked at grammar.” i didn’t want to deal w/ people debating a grammar issue when i was just announcing a deal. know what i mean?? i’m off to santa barbara to see my lil’ bro at college now!
