Tom Green (born Michael Thomas Green on July 30, 1971) is a Canadian actor, writer and television host who is currently hosting Tom Green's House Tonight. Born in Pembroke, Ontario, Green grew up in suburban Ottawa. He pioneered a type of "shock humour" that begat Jackass, Fear Factor and other reality shows.
The Tom Green Show is a North American television show which first aired in September 1994 on Rogers Television 22, a community channel in Ottawa, Ontario until 1996, and was later picked up by the Comedy Network in 1997. (In 1996, Green also produced a pilot episode for CBC Television, although the CBC did not pick up the series.)
In January 1999, the show moved to the United States and aired on MTV . The MTV show stopped production when Tom was diagnosed with testicular cancer in March 2000, and he stopped production on his TV show, but continued to appear on the channel via reruns and other promotional materials.
Tom Green (born on February 6, 1974 in Durban, South Africa) is a field hockey defence or midfield player from Canada, who started playing field hockey at the age of eight. The resident of Vancouver, British Columbia earned his first cap in and against India (1-1).
Tom Green's House Tonight (formerly known as Tom Green Live) is an Internet-based talk show hosted by Tom Green. In addition to its primary broadcast on TomGreen.com, the show is syndicated on television stations throughout the world.
Beginning as a partnership between Green and ManiaTV! (who financed the majority of the show), the webcast is mostly spontaneous with a reliance on celebrity guests and viewer interaction via telephone calls, Skype calls and occasional instant messages via an Apple iMac G5. The show is set inside Tom's living room, where a fully functional studio has been constructed. Because of many technical issues with phones, computers, streaming and audio in the early shows, they took off a few days to repair the systems and came back on September 13, 2006. The episodes before September 13 are considered to be test shows, and the real episodes are considered to have started on September 13. Many viewers found Tom's reactions to the technical problems as entertaining as opposed to a hindrance to the show.
Tom Green is a comedian who likes to go around and pull pranks on everybody. Among his most famous is putting a cowhead in his parent's bed, suckling a cow's udder, throwing plastic babies onto cars...etc. The show is half talk show and half documentary. Written by Me
