Token

MR. Chase aka Token
by Andrew Moreno

We’re back with another hot contender from I love New York. This time around, De
Novo Magazine’s Andrew Moreno sat down for a brutally honest interview with Chase a.k.
a Token. Perhaps, as Token states himself, he is known for his infamous peck-on-the-
cheek kiss with Mr. New York. Learn about life after the show, his thoughts on Tango’s
last goodbye, and Sister Patterson.

We have got to applaud Token for this interview: He is honest and straight to the point.

I caught the young entrepreneur before heading off to work, so we got straight into the
interview.

Moreno: Tell me about living in the house

with New York and the other

contestants

What was your take?

Token: There was definitely a feeling of mixed-

emotions. I would find myself asking, "Why am I

here?" I was never the person on the show who

would fight for attention. But, yeah it was a mix of

positives and negatives.

Moreno: How did you end up on the show?

Or, why did you audition?

Token: I was actually asked by a friend to audition, and I decided to do it.

Moreno: So, were you familiar with the show?

Token: Oh yeah, I knew who New York was and I had watched Flavor of Love before.

Moreno: If you were asked by a friend to audition, did you have love for New
York?

Token: I'll put it this way, I did not have true emotions for her. I was just not into her.

Moreno: Is that part of the reason for the infamous kiss you gave her?

Token: Definitely. Before wanting to kiss me, she had made-out with six guys prior to
that. That's something I'm into.

Moreno: What did you make of Sister Patterson?

Token: She is Crazy! It was like she was fighting for attention with New York. I think she
wanted to be more on TV than anyone else. Plus, she would be rude and disrespectful
to the guys on national television. She's just crazy.

Moreno: I can see that. So, there was no love for New York and no love for
Sister Patterson, did you get along with the other guys?

Token: Yeah, I got along fine with the other guys. That is, except for Mr. Boston. We
didn't get along.

Moreno: So are you interested in other parts

of the entertainment industry?

Token: Yeah, I wouldn't mind acting or doing

some of the technical aspect behind the scenes.

Moreno: What was life like before the show?

Token: I was in school majoring in Criminal

Justice. I was also working as a bartender.

Moreno: What are you doing now?

Token: Right now I'm just working.

Moreno: Hey, what did you make of Tango's last goodbye to New York?

Tango: I actually talked to Tango before the reunion show. From what I understand, it
was a last minute decision to call of the relationship. But I actually thought it was funny
as hell.

Moreno: Any expectations for season II of I love New York?

Token: Look out for a guy named, Ears.

Moreno: Finally, how would you sum up the entire show?

Token: Overall, it was a once in a lifetime event. I had a good time and ended up
meeting a lot of friends.
