You are gone.
I heard this one from an interview of Tom Crews, and I suppose the hostess meant 'out of control' or sth. like it when Tom jumped on the sofa. Am I right? Do you guys sometimes use this same expression in the same way?
Thanks in advance.

It could mean that; to me, it's not clear. Colloquially, "gone" can mean "drunk", "high on drugs", "mentally unstable", so it could be that the host was light-heartedly suggesting his behaviour was "out of control" in that sense. )
