Unlike a Like from Samantha Bee, did the notoriously modest Patrick S. Tomlinson change his mind and not find his hosting gig worthy of bragging?

"cohosting"
Sadly, I could not find a full recording of the event, nor any mention of one having ever existed. Patrick posted no pictures or videos of the event, but the entertainers and attendees posted hundreds across Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. I had been (autistically) downloading them until I realized how many there are.

Patrick didn’t even pose in the special spacesuit area, unlike almost everyone else:

Quantity and Quality
Oddly, there seems to be almost no video or pictures that contain Patrick at all, and none that focus on him. Based on the photos and videos available (or lack thereof, in Patrick’s case), one might wonder how much Patrick actually hosted, and how good it was.
The same cannot be said for the other two co-hosts: Mae Jemison herself and Linda Lorelle:

There are hundreds of pictures of Mae Jemison on stage, of course, dozens of Linda Lorelle, and only three pictures that have Patrick in them at all, all with Linda Lorelle:

There are many videos of Mae Jemison and Linda Lorelle from the roughly 50 minutes of footage I managed to scrounge up, but I could only find snippets of Patrick in 2 videos:

The Three Hosts
Again, based on the material available, it seemed that the event had three hosts: Mae Jemison, Linda Lorelle, and Patrick Tomlinson.
Mae Jemison was listed as the host of the event both before ([URL='https://archive.ph/P6SNW']A[/URL]; [URL='https://archive.ph/uqL4q']A[/URL]; [URL='https://archive.ph/aW7RT']A[/URL]) and after ([URL='https://archive.ph/vyo0o']A[/URL]) the event. Dr. Jemison hosts 100YSS Nexus events by herself ([URL='https://archive.ph/RZSzB']A[/URL]), as well as documentaries ([URL='https://www.mprnews.org/story/2010/04/13/midday2']A[/URL]), museum exhibits (in hologram form), and entire seasons of TV series ([URL='https://www.amazon.com/World-Wonder-Hosted-Dr-Jemison/dp/B001UIY5H0']L[/URL]).
The winner of over 35 broadcasting awards, including 2 Emmy’s, Linda Lorelle anchored the Houston news for 17 years, and currently hosts an award-winning podcast. If Patrick’s daughter Annabelle, a heavily disadvantaged youth who has received $0 in support from her biological father, lived in the Houston area, she would qualify for the Linda Lorelle Scholarship, which has given out over 4.5 million dollars.
Linda and Mae have been friends since their days sharing a dorm room at Stanford ([URL='https://archive.ph/XcZ8i']A[/URL]; [URL='https://archive.ph/pDO2h']A[/URL]; [URL='https://archive.ph/WIgj7']A[/URL]; [URL='https://archive.ph/TPtqc']A[/URL]) and arrived together with Nichelle Nichols (Uhura from Star Trek: TOS). Loretta describes herself as the MC of the event:

Not only are Mae and Loretta on attendee’s recordings introducing other guests, they also make references to their introductions of guests that did not get recorded. There is no recording of Patrick doing any hosting, or any reference to having done any that I could turn up. I didn’t want to risk “cow-tipping” by contacting any of the attendees for comment.
It seems to me the most likely scenario is that Patrick did little hosting and was so awful that even he knew it, and beat a hasty retreat from the venue. Perhaps he was supposed to sprinkle jokes in, making him more of an entertainer? The other entertainers all have numerous pics and clips of them: the juggler on stilts, the magician, the dancing girl, the Cyr-wheel dancer guy, Aloe Blacc, Rickey Davis the Sinatra tribute artist, Bella Gaia, and the mime.
The fact that Host Pat took zero pictures or videos over the 3.5-hour event, despite plainly stating that he would be spamming his feed, and he waited years before ever bringing it up again, is reminiscent of other conveniently unverifiable “Pats,” such as College Pat, Trained Martial Artist (armed and unarmed) Pat, Certified Self-Defense Instructor Pat, Old Testament Sex God Pat, Fatherhood Pat, etc.
You just realized your “cohost” is an unfunny, overconfident, dead-weight cornball rube who stinks of free booze.
