00:00:06,132 --> 00:00:08,092
Good morning. It's, uh...
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX
4
00:00:09,093 --> 00:00:13,431
first day of the rest of my life
right here.
5
00:00:13,514 --> 00:00:14,849
This is it.
6
00:00:17,977 --> 00:00:19,520
Hi, my name is Tom Green.
7
00:00:19,603 --> 00:00:21,981
You may remember me
from The Tom Green Show,
8
00:00:22,064 --> 00:00:23,315
or movies like Road Trip,
9
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:25,568
or my rap group, Organized Rhyme.
10
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:28,446
or my public access TV show,
or going on David Letterman.
11
00:00:28,529 --> 00:00:30,489
- How are you doing?
- Or Freddy Got Fingered.
12
00:00:30,573 --> 00:00:32,742
Or hosting Saturday Night Live.
13
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,787
Well, for the last 20 years,
I've lived in Hollywood, California.
14
00:00:36,871 --> 00:00:39,331
That's my house. And, well, I sold it.
15
00:00:39,415 --> 00:00:42,084
And that's my new house.
I moved to the country in Canada.
16
00:00:42,168 --> 00:00:44,837
A farm not far from my hometown.
17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,213
That's my dog, Charlie.
18
00:00:46,297 --> 00:00:49,300
And I'm making a documentary
about my life.
19
00:00:49,383 --> 00:00:52,470
Don't make a documentary about your life.
It's weird.
20
00:00:52,553 --> 00:00:57,391
Uh, hilarious, sometimes crazy,
sometimes strange, anxiety inducing.
21
00:00:57,475 --> 00:00:59,935
But mostly, a relief to be able
to tell my story.
22
00:01:01,353 --> 00:01:04,064
This is not really a documentary.
23
00:01:04,148 --> 00:01:06,066
- What is it?
- I don't know.
24
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:10,446
I don't think there's any such thing
as a true documentary.
25
00:01:10,529 --> 00:01:13,574
- Why? What Is it true documentary?
- The camera effects everything.
26
00:01:13,657 --> 00:01:14,617
Ah.
27
00:01:16,535 --> 00:01:18,954
As soon as you document something,
you change it.
28
00:01:19,038 --> 00:01:21,999
So therefore you're not really
documenting it at all, right?
29
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:24,084
- Something like that.
- Mm-hmm.
30
00:01:24,168 --> 00:01:29,048
Is it unusual for the person
who is being, um...
31
00:01:30,132 --> 00:01:32,593
a biography of them,
32
00:01:32,676 --> 00:01:37,932
is it unusual for them to direct
their own biographical movie?
33
00:01:38,015 --> 00:01:40,559
Yeah. You're not supposed to do that.
34
00:01:40,643 --> 00:01:42,770
Well, I don't know
if there's rules, but....
35
00:01:42,853 --> 00:01:45,397
- I think there are.
- Are there rules? Who wrote those rules?
36
00:01:45,481 --> 00:01:48,484
- I don't know, somebody who knows a lot.
- But conventionally.
37
00:01:48,567 --> 00:01:50,861
Somebody who knows, like,
a lot about making movies.
38
00:01:50,945 --> 00:01:53,405
- Okay.
- There's probably a reason for it, too.
39
00:01:53,489 --> 00:01:55,825
Why? Because you can whitewash
what you say.
40
00:01:55,908 --> 00:01:57,535
- Yeah, so...
- Yeah.
41
00:01:57,618 --> 00:01:58,869
And you're planning to do that?
42
00:01:58,953 --> 00:02:01,080
Yes.

Big day, making a documentary.
This is gonna be cool.
54
00:02:38,325 --> 00:02:39,869
We got some big cameras here.
55
00:02:40,703 --> 00:02:42,580
We've done this before, right?
56
00:02:42,663 --> 00:02:45,583
Mm. Not quite as....
57
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:48,002
- Elaborate.
- ...elaborate as this.
58
00:02:48,085 --> 00:02:50,421
{\an8}Was there a moment
where you kind of sort of thought
59
00:02:50,504 --> 00:02:52,047
{\an8}that I was kind of weird?
60
00:02:52,131 --> 00:02:53,841
{\an8}
61
00:02:55,259 --> 00:02:56,427
You're my mommy!
62
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:57,469
- Let me have a hug.
- No way.
63
00:02:57,553 --> 00:02:58,929
End of discussion.
64
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:01,557
- You're my parents.
- That's the sad thing, Tom.
65
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,392
- You're a creative person.
- Okay, let's say that.
66
00:03:03,475 --> 00:03:05,561
That's my mother.
We're gonna go shopping.
67
00:03:05,644 --> 00:03:07,313
My mom and I are buying a piñata.
68
00:03:07,396 --> 00:03:08,689
- Oh.
- Yeah.
69
00:03:08,772 --> 00:03:12,318
- Going to smash the crap out of it.
- No, Tom. No, we're not.
70
00:03:14,528 --> 00:03:17,948
Was there a moment when I was a kid
where you started to maybe
71
00:03:18,032 --> 00:03:19,533
worry about me?
72
00:03:19,617 --> 00:03:21,952
- High school, maybe.
- High school?
73
00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:24,872
That's when I discovered stand-up comedy.
74
00:03:24,955 --> 00:03:28,751
We heard about this comedy club in Ottawa
downtown called Yuk Yuk's.
75
00:03:28,834 --> 00:03:31,170
We were able to go. I was 15 years old.
76
00:03:31,253 --> 00:03:34,006
Had a restaurant license,
so you could go even though it was a bar.
77
00:03:34,089 --> 00:03:36,133
Felt cool because it felt like
you were in a bar.
78
00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:38,469
I was now going down to Yuk Yuk's
every week.
79
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:42,181
My parents would let me go on school
nights because they had an amateur night.
80
00:03:42,264 --> 00:03:46,226
Phil, who was on The Tom Green Show,
went down with me those first many times.
81
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:47,895
{\an8}- Hey, Tom, how you doing?
82
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,065
See that nervous tension?
83
00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:53,609
Were you a little nervous
about the date, Phil?
84
00:03:55,361 --> 00:03:57,655
What's up, sweetie?
How are you doing?
85
00:03:57,738 --> 00:03:59,406
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
86
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:00,991
- You know Phil.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
87
00:04:01,075 --> 00:04:03,285
- What's up, man? What's up?
- What's up, Phil?
88
00:04:03,369 --> 00:04:05,204
- How's it going?
- What's up, Chris?
89
00:04:05,287 --> 00:04:06,455
How's it going, man?
90
00:04:06,538 --> 00:04:08,832
Come on, Charlie. Come on.
You want the keys?
91
00:04:08,916 --> 00:04:11,001
I am Phil. Hello. This is Tom.
92
00:04:11,085 --> 00:04:12,962
{\an8}My oldest best friend right here.
93
00:04:13,045 --> 00:04:15,381
{\an8}- Yeah, absolutely.
You're the oldest person I know.
94
00:04:15,464 --> 00:04:18,175
{\an8}No, we've known each other--
We've known each other longer.
95
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:20,094
Needed to get you out here
for the documentary.
96
00:04:20,177 --> 00:04:22,179
Just do this? There's history there.
97
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:24,139
- There's a lot of stuff.
- Oh, yeah.
98
00:04:24,223 --> 00:04:26,183
That's how we met, skateboarding.
99
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,310
Skateboarding.
Kind of like came across you.
100
00:04:28,394 --> 00:04:30,229
I was like,
"This guy's into skateboarding."
101
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:32,106
It's obvious. And we kind of clicked.
102
00:04:32,189 --> 00:04:34,900
I remember when we first started
going to Yuk Yuk's,
103
00:04:34,984 --> 00:04:36,485
and obviously you were really into it.
104
00:04:36,568 --> 00:04:39,989
We went to watch a few shows
and we decided to try it.
105
00:04:40,823 --> 00:04:43,534
I remember we did amateur night
for, like, the next two years,
106
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:44,952
almost every week.
107
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:47,913
Before Yuk Yuk's,
you were doing stuff at your school.
108
00:04:47,997 --> 00:04:50,290
You were always trying
to get on a stage and, like,
109
00:04:50,374 --> 00:04:52,251
somehow perform one way or another.
110
00:04:52,334 --> 00:04:56,422
{\an8}I saw a kid who was willing
to take chances, and I like that a lot.
111
00:04:56,505 --> 00:05:00,509
{\an8}I think that comedy,
you need to shake it up once in a while.
112
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:03,053
Remember when you were a kid,
you could tell who the other kids were
113
00:05:03,137 --> 00:05:04,972
who were the children of alcoholics?
114
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:09,351
Based on the ones
who carried their marbles to school
115
00:05:09,435 --> 00:05:11,562
in that purple velvet whiskey bag.
116
00:05:13,689 --> 00:05:16,442
Is it kind of strange
that it's been how many years?
117
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,527
Like 30-plus years
we've been doing this stuff?
118
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:21,739
- 35 years. How long has it been?
- At least 35, for sure. More.
119
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:23,532
{\an8}About halfway through high school,
120
00:05:23,615 --> 00:05:27,953
{\an8}I discovered that there was a university
radio station at Ottawa U, called CHUO.
121
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:32,166
Welcome to CHUO FM 89.
122
00:05:32,249 --> 00:05:34,460
I began volunteering there
on Friday nights.
123
00:05:37,296 --> 00:05:38,964
Look at this. It's amazing.
124
00:05:39,048 --> 00:05:41,550
It's the first time
we've appeared on camera in...
125
00:05:42,092 --> 00:05:43,510
together in, what, 20 years?
126
00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:46,180
Glenn Humplik
is a money-grubbing bastard.
127
00:05:46,263 --> 00:05:48,182
- Oh, look at that spandex.
- God!
128
00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:53,604
{\an8}This is a weird thing, just to...
129
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:58,067
{\an8}I instantly feel like something is weird
about this seating arrangement.
130
00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:59,526
Can you tell me what you think it is...
131
00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:02,196
Glenn, that camera
records our faces, okay?
132
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,906
...related to, like, the show?
133
00:06:03,989 --> 00:06:06,992
Oh, I was always seated on that side.
134
00:06:07,076 --> 00:06:09,453
- Yeah. Can we switch?
- Oh, weird. Yeah.
135
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:10,704
Yeah.
136
00:06:10,788 --> 00:06:13,123
I was just feeling
like it didn't feel right.
137
00:06:13,207 --> 00:06:14,500
Oh, yeah. There we go.
138
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:16,585
Well, we met at CHUO
139
00:06:16,668 --> 00:06:19,505
because I was doing
my radio show on Friday nights
140
00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:22,174
from two to six in the morning,
called Nightfall.
141
00:06:22,257 --> 00:06:23,884
- Mm-hmm.
- And you came in.
142
00:06:23,967 --> 00:06:25,886
And you started doing--
It was a rap show, right?
143
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:28,055
It was a rap music show
I got asked to do.
144
00:06:28,138 --> 00:06:30,849
Then I just stopped
playing music and started talking.
145
00:06:30,933 --> 00:06:33,977
Then you were playing music,
and then you stopped playing music too.
146
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:35,896
And you started hanging out
during my show.
147
00:06:35,979 --> 00:06:38,816
- And then it just became...
- Midnight till six in the morning.
148
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:42,027
We're game to, you know, being a little
zany on the air sometimes, you know?
149
00:06:42,111 --> 00:06:45,364
And that was really when we knew
that I was gonna get into show business,
150
00:06:45,447 --> 00:06:47,074
- I guess, right? Really?
- I don't think so because--
151
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:49,326
Well, I don't know
if I thought you'd be in show business,
152
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:53,163
but I felt that you liked
the feeling you got.
153
00:06:53,247 --> 00:06:55,165
Did I say I want to do this, though?
154
00:06:55,249 --> 00:06:57,584
- You didn't.
- So when did I start saying that?
155
00:06:57,668 --> 00:07:01,255
Well, probably when you started
getting interested in music.
156
00:07:01,338 --> 00:07:03,841
- The band was called?
- It was called Organized Rhyme.
157
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:06,593
- And it was a rap band?
- It was a rap band from Ottawa.
158
00:07:06,677 --> 00:07:09,429
I started a rap group
with my good friend Greg,
159
00:07:09,513 --> 00:07:12,015
who was a couple of years
younger than me in high school,
160
00:07:12,099 --> 00:07:13,433
but we both skateboarded.
161
00:07:13,517 --> 00:07:15,018
We both liked rap music.
162
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:17,855
And at that time,
nobody was listening to rap music
163
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:19,481
except for a handful
of people in my school.
164
00:07:19,565 --> 00:07:21,108
{\an8}- MC Pin.
MC Pin.
165
00:07:21,191 --> 00:07:24,111
{\an8}- MC Bones.
MC Pin, MC Bones.
166
00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:25,487
Rocking the microphones.
167
00:07:25,571 --> 00:07:27,489
- Welcome, man. Good to see you, buddy.
- Thank you.
168
00:07:27,573 --> 00:07:29,199
- You too.
- Been a long time.
169
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:32,494
Together as a group, as Organized Rhyme,
we've been together for two years.
170
00:07:32,578 --> 00:07:34,329
We did the school show.
171
00:07:34,413 --> 00:07:36,290
And then it's just been, you know...
172
00:07:36,373 --> 00:07:38,834
That's changed our lives
from that point on.
173
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:42,337
When I was doing Organized Rhyme,
there was no other rap groups in Ottawa.
174
00:07:46,008 --> 00:07:48,719
When you're doing anything
artistic in Ottawa, you kind of feel,
175
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:51,805
"Wow, I'm really thinking
way out of the box here."
176
00:07:51,889 --> 00:07:54,433
You don't feel like other people
are judging you.
177
00:07:54,516 --> 00:07:56,685
We're gonna tell it how it is
growing up in suburbia.
178
00:07:56,768 --> 00:08:00,105
♪ Growing up in my neighborhood
Never doing no good ♪
179
00:08:00,189 --> 00:08:02,816
♪ Maybe once or twice
Just like any other kid ♪
180
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,277
It was right around then when you, Chris,
181
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,738
the man standing right here
behind this camera...
182
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:09,990
{\an8}I'd like a more flattering lens.
183
00:08:10,073 --> 00:08:11,575
{\an8}
184
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:14,578
...came and did a little story
about Organized Rhyme.
185
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:17,998
And that's where all this video that
you're looking at right now came from.
186
00:08:18,081 --> 00:08:19,499
Get up. Move it.
187
00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:20,834
Time to get.
188
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:24,421
- Okay, you awake now?
- Oh!
189
00:08:24,504 --> 00:08:26,965
Because that must have been
a sort of a turning point.
190
00:08:27,049 --> 00:08:28,300
It was the CBC, right?
191
00:08:28,383 --> 00:08:31,803
It was a big television
news sort of program.
192
00:08:31,887 --> 00:08:34,932
I thought it was great.
I mean, you were getting success.
193
00:08:35,015 --> 00:08:36,266
What are you doing now?
194
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:37,851
I'm cutting the apples.
195
00:08:37,935 --> 00:08:39,645
You remember when we went
to New York to record?
196
00:08:39,728 --> 00:08:42,022
- I do.
- And you guys sort of paid for that.
197
00:08:42,105 --> 00:08:43,690
Yeah, we did.
198
00:08:43,774 --> 00:08:46,693
I remember this guy
pulled up to the door in his BMW.
199
00:08:46,777 --> 00:08:49,029
- I think it was a Volvo, but...
- Was it?
200
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:51,114
His name was Boogie, from Brooklyn,
201
00:08:51,198 --> 00:08:53,825
and he wanted to produce a record
with you guys.
202
00:08:53,909 --> 00:08:56,536
Yeah, and then we recorded
like five songs.
203
00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:59,706
They came to New York.
His mother, God bless her soul.
204
00:08:59,790 --> 00:09:04,169
{\an8}She just had a beautiful presence.
She was supportive.
205
00:09:04,253 --> 00:09:07,798
{\an8}And I was like, this is what
New York hip-hop needs.
206
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:11,343
The, um... The support.
Like, that whole...
207
00:09:12,261 --> 00:09:14,930
Family-family.
Like, family after family.
208
00:09:15,013 --> 00:09:17,432
You know what I mean?
We support you in the home.
209
00:09:17,516 --> 00:09:19,977
But we really support you
when you're go to your dream.
210
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,729
And when they came,
and they were really ready to...
211
00:09:22,813 --> 00:09:25,357
You know, I'm like,
"Y'all more serious than I am."
212
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,942
Let me step up mine.
213
00:09:27,025 --> 00:09:30,612
They actually made me step up
my production and my seriousness, so...

219
00:09:40,038 --> 00:09:41,707
I'm born and raised in Brownsville.
220
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:44,918
That's a rough neighborhood.
If you do the statistics, it's real rough.
221
00:09:45,002 --> 00:09:49,506
Now, I'm trying to keep an eye on them,
but you know who's missing, right?
222
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:52,259
Tom. He's on Rockaway and Livonia.
223
00:09:52,342 --> 00:09:56,305
I can't explain his mother,
"I don't know where your son is at."
224
00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:59,141
Like, this dude just rode a skateboard
225
00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:01,018
down one of the most
dangerous neighborhoods.
226
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:03,020
When he came back,
he came back with friends.
227
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:04,938
I'm like, "Yo, what are you doing?"
228
00:10:05,022 --> 00:10:06,815
"Yo, we like this dude.
This dude is cool."
229
00:10:06,898 --> 00:10:09,026
We did come back from New York
230
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:11,528
a little bit different.
231
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:12,904
How could we not?
232
00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:15,115
At that age, how do you not change?
233
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:18,660
Cool, cool, cool factor?
234
00:10:18,744 --> 00:10:21,371
If you hadn't done that,
we wouldn't have recorded that demo.
235
00:10:21,455 --> 00:10:24,291
- That's true, and--
- Wouldn't have gotten that experience.
236
00:10:24,374 --> 00:10:25,292
That's right.
237
00:10:25,375 --> 00:10:27,252
Wouldn't have been
taking it as seriously.
238
00:10:27,336 --> 00:10:29,880
- That's right.
- Might not have gotten the record deal.
239
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:30,922
Yes, the record deal.
240
00:10:31,006 --> 00:10:33,467
It all started
when we got this big opportunity
241
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:36,928
to open for this legendary
Canadian rap group, the Dream Warriors.

00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:49,483
when we go down to do the recording,
we're also gonna do a video.

Plus, we're gonna do Rap City
on MuchMusic.
251
00:11:01,536 --> 00:11:04,122
This group hails from Ottawa.
They call themselves Organized Rhyme.
252
00:11:04,206 --> 00:11:07,626
- We were nominated for a Juno.
- I know. And you went down to Toronto.
253
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:09,961
That's a pretty big deal.
I've been nominated for a Juno.

We won the Canadian Music Video Award
for the best rap video from MuchMusic.
258
00:11:19,388 --> 00:11:20,972
It did give me an early taste
259
00:11:21,056 --> 00:11:24,351
of what it was like
to be in show business,
260
00:11:24,434 --> 00:11:28,897
creating some sort of music
or silliness, putting it on TV.
261
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:31,233
I remember I was really interested
in your camera,
262
00:11:31,316 --> 00:11:34,361
so I started probably asking you about it,
263
00:11:34,444 --> 00:11:38,657
and you were very generous with your time,
and you invited me over to your studio
264
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:40,826
and showed me all your equipment.
265
00:11:40,909 --> 00:11:43,912
I was like, "Wow, man,
if this rap thing doesn't work out,
266
00:11:43,995 --> 00:11:46,081
I think I want to make funny videos."
267
00:11:46,164 --> 00:11:47,874
And the rap thing didn't work out.
268
00:11:50,085 --> 00:11:53,296
I don't think the station
would have let me do The Tom Green Show
269
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,173
if it hadn't been for the rap group.
270
00:11:55,257 --> 00:11:57,300
Here. I know. It's true.
271
00:11:57,384 --> 00:11:59,386
Are you Colleen Boyle?
272
00:11:59,469 --> 00:12:02,013
- Yes.
- Did you write this letter, Colleen?
273
00:12:02,764 --> 00:12:05,016
You have a lovely room.
You have a nice room.
274
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,310
- You didn't go in my room.
- Ask me a question about your room.
275
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:09,354
You didn't go in, like, and see my...
276
00:12:09,438 --> 00:12:11,773
This guy right here
was sitting on your bed.
277
00:12:11,857 --> 00:12:12,816
Ew.
278
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:14,943
Change the sheets.
279
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:17,237
As a kid,
280
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,365
I always knew
I wanted to do some kind of comedy.
281
00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:22,284
And then I discovered David Letterman.
282
00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,744
There was just something
about the absurdity of that.
283
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:28,290
{\an8}You know, I remember all the famous ones.
284
00:12:28,373 --> 00:12:31,293
He'd bring the fruit basket
over next door to the GE building
285
00:12:31,376 --> 00:12:34,004
and get kicked out
by the security guard of his own network.
286
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:36,089
- Turn the cameras off, please.
- Okay, we just wanted
287
00:12:36,173 --> 00:12:37,924
to drop off this basket of fruit...
288
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:40,844
- Okay. Cameras, please?
- ...as a gesture of goodwill.
289
00:12:40,927 --> 00:12:42,220
Cut the cameras, please.
290
00:12:42,304 --> 00:12:44,848
You have to talk to the director
right over there.
291
00:12:44,931 --> 00:12:46,975
And you're thinking, "How crazy is that?"
292
00:12:47,058 --> 00:12:48,602
Like, he's actually getting in trouble.
293
00:12:48,685 --> 00:12:51,480
- I wanted to be David Letterman.
- And you would listen every night,
294
00:12:51,563 --> 00:12:53,690
and I'd worry
that you were not getting sleep.
295
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:56,151
And I would have to get up
and go downstairs and say,
296
00:12:56,234 --> 00:12:58,236
"Tom, turn off the TV. It's late."
297
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,531
I remember when I did stand-up,
I wore Dad's blazer.
298
00:13:01,615 --> 00:13:03,700
- Yeah.
- And I wore sneakers
299
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:06,077
and beige khakis like Letterman did.
300
00:13:06,161 --> 00:13:06,995
Right.
301
00:13:07,078 --> 00:13:09,080
I also loved skateboarding.
302
00:13:09,164 --> 00:13:12,834
There was a lot of skateboarding videos
that I would watch by Stacy Peralta,
303
00:13:12,918 --> 00:13:16,338
who did the Bones Brigade videos,
and they were kind of raw
304
00:13:16,421 --> 00:13:18,632
man-on-the-street-type things.
305
00:13:18,715 --> 00:13:23,178
And it was very influential, I think,
for the way that I wanted to shoot stuff.
306
00:13:23,261 --> 00:13:25,722
Some people stand in the shower all day,
307
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:28,266
but I usually just have a short shower.
308
00:13:29,017 --> 00:13:31,311
Getting access to video cameras
in those early days
309
00:13:31,394 --> 00:13:33,146
was kind of like a magical thing.
310
00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:35,273
You'd shoot the video,
and then you'd put it back in
311
00:13:35,357 --> 00:13:36,608
and you watch it.
312
00:13:36,691 --> 00:13:40,070
And you sort of couldn't believe you were
looking at yourself on the television.
313
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:42,030
You know, you're with your friends,
you're out there,
314
00:13:42,113 --> 00:13:44,824
{\an8}you're pushing each other
to kind of do tricks.
315
00:13:44,908 --> 00:13:48,161
{\an8}And there's kind of a certain
comedy culture
316
00:13:48,245 --> 00:13:50,205
and a razzing culture in skating,
317
00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:51,831
almost like punk comedy,
318
00:13:51,915 --> 00:13:53,917
getting yourself in trouble quite often.
319
00:13:55,252 --> 00:13:56,878
- Which high school?
- Sir Robert Ford.
320
00:13:56,962 --> 00:13:59,047
- And you?
- I'm just with them.
321
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:00,840
Okay. Where do you work, sir?
322
00:14:00,924 --> 00:14:03,677
- Uh, it's none of your business.
- Okay, that's fine.
323
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,345
I went back to school.
324
00:14:05,428 --> 00:14:08,473
I studied television broadcasting
at Algonquin College,
325
00:14:08,557 --> 00:14:11,560
where I learned
how to edit and shoot video,
326
00:14:11,643 --> 00:14:13,937
do lighting and do photography.
327
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,106
Comin' in here with your guns all...
328
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:20,110
All the things
that I would have needed to know
329
00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:23,780
if I wanted to make my own
television show.
330
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:25,782
At least Brian's still with us...
331
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,034
I'm glad I did focus in school.
332
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:31,871
And that's where I met Trevor Cavanaugh,
Darcy DeToni.
333
00:14:31,955 --> 00:14:33,665
I'm hunting for moths.
334
00:14:33,748 --> 00:14:35,250
I'm Burning Feet Man!
335
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:37,460
I'll bring you light to attract the moths!
336
00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:39,212
- How you doing?
- Good.
337
00:14:39,296 --> 00:14:40,755
A little grayer.
338
00:14:40,839 --> 00:14:42,591
- A little bit.
- A little heavier.
339
00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:44,634
{\an8}- Good. Looks good on you, though.
Okay.
340
00:14:44,718 --> 00:14:46,761
{\an8}- I'm a little heavier. Am I heavier, too?
Yeah.
341
00:14:46,845 --> 00:14:49,306
{\an8}- Yeah? We both gained weight?
I think we have, yeah.
342
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:50,932
Trevor Cavanaugh, ladies and gentlemen.
343
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:52,309
Hi.
344
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:53,977
I'm Barry Manilow.
345
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:55,770
{\an8}- Yo! How are you?
Tom.
346
00:14:55,854 --> 00:14:57,439
{\an8}- How you doing?
How's it going, man?
347
00:14:57,522 --> 00:14:59,649
{\an8}- Good to see you.
Good to see you, man.
348
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:03,695
Remember this guy? When was last time
you guys saw each other?
349
00:15:03,778 --> 00:15:04,988
Been in a few years.
350
00:15:05,071 --> 00:15:06,656
That's a good tactic, Trev.
351
00:15:07,198 --> 00:15:08,450
Check this out.
352
00:15:08,533 --> 00:15:10,952
- Oh, no! I think I know what that is.
- You know what this is?
353
00:15:11,036 --> 00:15:15,123
Volunteer award for outstanding
community producer, The Tom Green Show.
354
00:15:15,206 --> 00:15:17,876
Tom Green, Darcy DeToni,
Trevor Cavanaugh.
355
00:15:17,959 --> 00:15:19,294
Glenn Humplik.
356
00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:20,337
- Wow.
- Nice.
357
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:23,006
I'd never been
so focused in my life on anything.
358
00:15:23,089 --> 00:15:24,424
In high school, nothing.
359
00:15:24,507 --> 00:15:26,676
I did very well.
I got great grades in college.
360
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,553
I did not have good grades in high school.
361
00:15:28,637 --> 00:15:30,138
You're in college all week,
362
00:15:30,221 --> 00:15:33,391
and then on my Friday night,
I would then go to the radio station.
363
00:15:33,475 --> 00:15:35,560
I'd be on the air,
and the kids at school would listen to it.
364
00:15:35,644 --> 00:15:37,771
And I remember Trevor and Darcy
were listening to the radio show,
365
00:15:37,854 --> 00:15:40,649
and we started talking about it one day,
and I was like,
366
00:15:40,732 --> 00:15:43,485
"Why don't we go do a TV show at Rogers?"
367
00:15:43,568 --> 00:15:45,654
- What's that?
- Pitch documents.
368
00:15:45,737 --> 00:15:47,864
- Wow.
- Handwritten pitch documents.
369
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:50,742
Objective: target audience. Yeah.
370
00:15:50,825 --> 00:15:52,952
{\an8}We pitched the show to this guy,
Ray Hagel.
371
00:15:53,036 --> 00:15:55,372
{\an8}He had been listening
to my college radio show.
372
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:57,749
{\an8}They gave us a four-episode test.
373
00:15:57,832 --> 00:15:59,834
So we ended up shooting segments
all summer.
374
00:15:59,918 --> 00:16:02,087
The first video we ever shot
for The Tom Green Show.
375
00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:05,799
{\an8}The idea was,
I have meat taped to my head.
376
00:16:05,882 --> 00:16:07,884
What are you doing
out in the ByWard Market?
377
00:16:09,469 --> 00:16:10,553
That's so cruel.
378
00:16:10,637 --> 00:16:12,681
- How's the ice cream?
- Fine. This is art?
379
00:16:12,764 --> 00:16:14,265
- What's that?
- This is art?
380
00:16:14,349 --> 00:16:15,183
- Art?
- Yes.
381
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:17,102
- The ice cream is art?
- No, your head.
382
00:16:17,185 --> 00:16:18,728
- Oh, okay, my head is art.
- Yes.
383
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:21,773
Thank you, that's the best compliment
anyone's ever given me.
384
00:16:21,856 --> 00:16:24,901
Meathead was probably the one
that sort of almost became
385
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:28,154
kind of a style of video
that we did on the show,
386
00:16:28,238 --> 00:16:29,489
going out on the street,
387
00:16:29,572 --> 00:16:33,118
doing something weird,
getting a reaction from people.
388
00:16:33,201 --> 00:16:35,578
Three, two, one!
389
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:46,381
Experimentation. No rules.
390
00:16:46,464 --> 00:16:50,135
No commercial advertisers telling us
what we could or couldn't do.
391
00:16:54,597 --> 00:16:58,852
Back then, like, video cameras
were basically brand-new
392
00:16:58,935 --> 00:17:00,770
and they were really expensive.
393
00:17:00,854 --> 00:17:02,480
Or you'd sign one out at school,
394
00:17:02,564 --> 00:17:05,066
but you'd get it for the day
for a school project.
395
00:17:07,819 --> 00:17:12,615
♪ White pants, white pants
I'm wearing white pants ♪
396
00:17:13,450 --> 00:17:16,286
♪ When I walk
I put my hands in my pockets ♪
397
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:18,371
All of a sudden,
the idea of like taking an idea
398
00:17:18,455 --> 00:17:21,624
out into the real world
became a possibility.
399
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:26,796
That's when real people
became unwitting performers
400
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,840
in television shows.
401
00:17:28,923 --> 00:17:31,509
You could argue
that Tom was the first person
402
00:17:31,593 --> 00:17:33,470
to really do reality.
403
00:17:33,553 --> 00:17:36,431
{\an8}Uh, first person in a long, long time
404
00:17:36,514 --> 00:17:38,683
{\an8}to do man-on-the-street kind of stuff.
405
00:17:38,767 --> 00:17:41,519
Now, Steve Allen,
way back when in the '50s,
406
00:17:41,603 --> 00:17:43,980
did some man-on-the-street kind of things.
407
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:49,027
But Tom took it
to a whole different level.
408
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:53,782
Remember, before 1999,
most comedy shows were scripted
409
00:17:53,865 --> 00:17:57,702
except for Candid Camera
and variety shows and talk shows.
410
00:17:57,786 --> 00:17:59,579
But there wasn't anyone
going out in the street
411
00:17:59,662 --> 00:18:02,165
with a video camera
without a professional crew,
412
00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:06,211
just some kid goofing around on people
and putting it on TV.
413
00:18:07,462 --> 00:18:08,963
We built our own set.
414
00:18:09,047 --> 00:18:11,633
The idea was,
it was an upside-down set, right?
415
00:18:11,716 --> 00:18:13,593
I actually think that the first set
416
00:18:13,676 --> 00:18:17,514
was the best set that there ever was
in the history of the show.
417
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:19,224
The bright green walls.
418
00:18:19,307 --> 00:18:21,476
- The fishbowl upside down.
- Right.
419
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:23,686
Hey, folks, how are you doing?
Welcome to The Tom Green Show.
420
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:25,772
This is Tom Green.
Let's give him a big hand.
421
00:18:26,898 --> 00:18:29,067
Rob Forest and Sean Potvin.
422
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:31,402
They are stunt performers.
423
00:18:31,486 --> 00:18:33,696
This is an over the shoulder.
424
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:36,366
All right, this is a punch to the stomach.
425
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:38,868
Glenn Humplik,
who I'd met at the radio station,
426
00:18:38,952 --> 00:18:41,412
and I asked him if he wanted to come down
and be my sidekick.
427
00:18:41,496 --> 00:18:44,082
Hi, you're on the air
talking to Glenn Humplik.
428
00:18:44,165 --> 00:18:45,834
Hi. Hey, Glenn.
429
00:18:45,917 --> 00:18:47,961
I just wondered,
do you want a bigger role in this show?
430
00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:50,713
- You have a small role.
- You have a small, boring role.
431
00:18:50,797 --> 00:18:52,131
No. Oh!
432
00:18:53,341 --> 00:18:55,552
You remember like I asked you
to do the show?
433
00:18:55,635 --> 00:18:56,511
- Yes.
- Okay.
434
00:18:56,594 --> 00:18:58,596
It was a pretty clear, mapped-out idea.
435
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,224
Like, it's gonna be like Letterman
or Johnny Carson,
436
00:19:01,307 --> 00:19:02,475
and you're gonna be...
437
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:05,687
You had a good idea of what the show
was going to be in your head.
438
00:19:05,770 --> 00:19:07,939
Did you notice that Glenn and I
are all snuggled up?
439
00:19:08,022 --> 00:19:10,358
- Yes.
- It's kind of strange right now.
440
00:19:10,441 --> 00:19:13,236
That's because I noticed the camera
was pointing more at Glenn,
441
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:15,738
and I like to get my face on TV.
442
00:19:15,822 --> 00:19:17,740
- Boy, we know that.
- Yeah.
443
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:20,368
Was there a moment when you thought,
"No, I don't want to do that?"
444
00:19:20,451 --> 00:19:22,328
Oh, absolutely. The second you asked me.
445
00:19:22,412 --> 00:19:23,997
- Oh, really? Really?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
446
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,124
- It's a $50 shirt.
- Just take it off quick.
447
00:19:26,207 --> 00:19:28,418
- That was a good shirt!
- It was a good shirt.
448
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:29,711
Look at the way it burns.
449
00:19:29,794 --> 00:19:31,170
- Nerve-racking?
- Yeah.
450
00:19:31,254 --> 00:19:33,464
I've never felt comfortable on camera.
451
00:19:33,548 --> 00:19:36,801
You just unplug it.
Unplug it before you burst into flames.
452
00:19:36,885 --> 00:19:39,470
- Why did you do it then?
- Oh, I think I told you.
453
00:19:39,554 --> 00:19:40,847
I said, you know, I'll give it a try,
454
00:19:40,930 --> 00:19:43,224
and if this sucks
or if I don't like it then...
455
00:19:45,894 --> 00:19:48,313
Glenn Humplik exercising tonight.
456
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:53,860
Then I went on my radio show
at the university
457
00:19:53,943 --> 00:19:57,071
and I told everybody listening
to come down to the public access station.
458
00:19:57,155 --> 00:19:58,948
And, like, a hundred kids showed up.
459
00:19:59,032 --> 00:20:01,868
Guess they figured if it was anything
like the goofy radio show I was doing,
460
00:20:01,951 --> 00:20:03,077
it was gonna be pretty weird.
461
00:20:03,161 --> 00:20:05,038
And it was.
It was me with meat on my head.
462
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:06,164
- How's it--
- Going under.
463
00:20:06,247 --> 00:20:09,334
You're having a poop-it party
or something?
464
00:20:09,417 --> 00:20:11,711
{\an8}
By the time we'd done the four episodes,
465
00:20:11,794 --> 00:20:14,088
{\an8}a local reporter named Ken Rockburn
466
00:20:14,172 --> 00:20:16,674
{\an8}wanted to do a piece
about The Tom Green Show,
467
00:20:16,758 --> 00:20:19,469
{\an8}and he compared it to a crazy
indie version
468
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:21,512
of David Letterman, my hero.
469
00:20:21,596 --> 00:20:23,598
And that kind of sealed our fate.
470
00:20:23,681 --> 00:20:27,018
The powers that be at the public access
station gave us the go-ahead
471
00:20:27,101 --> 00:20:28,770
to keep making episodes.
472
00:20:28,853 --> 00:20:30,229
And we did.
473
00:20:30,313 --> 00:20:32,607
- They picked up the show.
- I know.
474
00:20:33,191 --> 00:20:36,945
I would spend late nights
at the public access station by myself
475
00:20:37,028 --> 00:20:38,529
editing videos,
476
00:20:38,613 --> 00:20:41,074
my days on the streets shooting new ones.
477
00:20:41,157 --> 00:20:42,700
I hardly stopped.
478
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:44,702
I had to make the show work.
479
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:47,914
I couldn't imagine being happy in life
doing anything else.
480
00:20:47,997 --> 00:20:49,874
This was a fight for survival.
481
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:54,420
I was driven by fear
and a manic sense of urgency.
482
00:20:55,129 --> 00:20:57,215
I had no plan B.
483
00:21:00,677 --> 00:21:02,595
Don't hurt him!
484
00:21:02,679 --> 00:21:04,347
Don't hurt him! Wait!
485
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:05,473
Wait!
486
00:21:07,475 --> 00:21:09,852
And people started talking
about this weird show
487
00:21:09,936 --> 00:21:12,146
that was on late at night in Ottawa
488
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:13,731
on public access TV.
489
00:21:13,815 --> 00:21:15,525
Shinny up the glass!
490
00:21:16,442 --> 00:21:18,444
Shinny up the glass!
491
00:21:18,528 --> 00:21:20,947
I thought it was just
gonna be another student thing.
492
00:21:21,030 --> 00:21:23,700
{\an8}- You know, they're never really...
I mean, honestly,
493
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:25,743
{\an8}I probably didn't know
it was gonna work either.
494
00:21:27,245 --> 00:21:28,621
I'm burning as it is.
495
00:21:28,705 --> 00:21:30,957
People started talking about it.
496
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,418
"You see that crazy guy
on The Tom Green Show?"
497
00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:35,211
And this would be some colonel at work.
498
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:38,297
- Really? A colonel in the military.
- In the military.
499
00:21:38,381 --> 00:21:40,049
"That guy is funny as hell."
500
00:21:40,133 --> 00:21:42,969
And while all this was going on,
we just kept experimenting
501
00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:45,221
and trying weird things.
502
00:21:46,764 --> 00:21:50,059
I remember going out in the street
and taping bread to my head.
503
00:21:50,601 --> 00:21:51,894
It was all about the reaction.
504
00:21:51,978 --> 00:21:54,605
Going on the street,
putting bread on my head.
505
00:21:54,689 --> 00:21:55,523
Why not?
506
00:21:55,606 --> 00:21:57,567
I make boys out of wood.
507
00:21:58,234 --> 00:22:00,361
I call them wooden boys.
508
00:22:00,445 --> 00:22:02,655
I don't know what to make of this, so...
509
00:22:02,739 --> 00:22:04,615
I'd lie down on my face in the market.
510
00:22:04,699 --> 00:22:06,576
We were shooting a hidden camera,
which we rarely did,
511
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:09,037
from the rooftop of a parking garage
across the street.
512
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,039
We took the time to get a wireless mic
513
00:22:11,122 --> 00:22:14,584
so you could hear the people around me
talking when they came up to say...
514
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:15,668
Are you okay?
515
00:22:15,752 --> 00:22:18,504
And this kind of went on and on,
people come check on me.
516
00:22:18,588 --> 00:22:21,090
Finally, someone said,
"Someone call an ambulance."
517
00:22:21,174 --> 00:22:23,259
And then I just slowly got up
and I walked away.
518
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:27,513
But that was one of the ones
where we realized,
519
00:22:27,597 --> 00:22:31,726
"Oh, sometimes they get a big reaction."
520
00:22:31,809 --> 00:22:33,936
How about Bon Jovi?
521
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:36,731
That was a huge moment because that was
the first time we woke up my parents.
522
00:22:36,814 --> 00:22:39,067
We were driving back from shooting.
It was like...
523
00:22:39,150 --> 00:22:41,778
3:30 in the morning right now.
Sunday night.
524
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:44,989
We're gonna go in and wake them up
and see if they want to watch
525
00:22:45,073 --> 00:22:47,742
a Bon Jovi Live in New Jersey
videotape with me, let's go.
526
00:22:49,243 --> 00:22:52,121
You would try to sneak in,
and the dog would start to bark.
527
00:22:52,205 --> 00:22:53,706
Hello? Mom?
528
00:22:53,790 --> 00:22:56,709
You said, "We need a prop.
We need like a reason."
529
00:22:56,793 --> 00:22:58,503
I looked in the back seat of his car,
530
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:02,423
and there was a Bon Jovi
Live in New Jersey videocassette.
531
00:23:02,507 --> 00:23:06,135
You guys want to go watch Bon Jovi?
532
00:23:06,219 --> 00:23:07,804
No.
533
00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:09,430
Your head was under the covers
and I was saying,
534
00:23:09,514 --> 00:23:11,182
"You want to watch
Bon Jovi Live in New Jersey?"
535
00:23:11,265 --> 00:23:13,101
- Tom--
- Come on, can we just go and watch it?
536
00:23:13,184 --> 00:23:15,728
Tom, would you turn off the camera?
What the hell time is it?
537
00:23:15,812 --> 00:23:18,773
Ten to 3:00. Forget it.
I have to get up in about three hours.
538
00:23:18,856 --> 00:23:20,733
Really? I have to get up early
tomorrow too.
539
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:22,819
And the crowd went crazy,
everyone loved it
540
00:23:22,902 --> 00:23:24,403
because you were upset.
541
00:23:24,487 --> 00:23:28,533
Because I was upset,
you decided to do it several more times.
542
00:23:28,616 --> 00:23:30,868
Do you want to just go watch
a couple minutes?
543
00:23:30,952 --> 00:23:34,038
We quickly realized that was very
relatable to people watching.
544
00:23:34,122 --> 00:23:36,791
"Are those your real parents?
Are your parents gonna kill you?"
545
00:23:36,874 --> 00:23:40,378
{\an8}You prank your parents, and I think
that's something everybody loves.
546
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:43,881
But the first big eventful one
was probably when I...
547
00:23:43,965 --> 00:23:47,260
{\an8}- Painted their house plaid once.
548
00:23:47,343 --> 00:23:49,804
Yeah, that was pretty dramatic.
549
00:23:49,887 --> 00:23:53,099
I think my parents will be happy
when they come home and see I've done
550
00:23:53,182 --> 00:23:55,726
some work around the house and not just
lazed around on my ass all week.
551
00:23:55,810 --> 00:23:58,521
I hoped my parents
would like their surprise.
552
00:23:58,604 --> 00:24:02,441
I painted, I worked all week
while they were gone on their trip.
553
00:24:02,525 --> 00:24:06,279
Mom said they wanted us to do chores
around the house while they were gone.
554
00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:09,157
Never said to do that.
555
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,703
I thought it'd be nice to go
above and beyond the call of duty.
556
00:24:14,579 --> 00:24:18,124
There he was. The car pulled up.
It looked like he liked it at first.
557
00:24:18,207 --> 00:24:22,670
I thought my mom kind of liked it too,
but, well, I, well...
558
00:24:22,753 --> 00:24:24,380
You painted the house?
559
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,841
I think your dad then took your car.
560
00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:29,468
- And he hid it.
- The car is gone.
561
00:24:29,552 --> 00:24:30,887
Car is gone.
562
00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:33,222
- I did all the lawn too...
- My car.
563
00:24:33,306 --> 00:24:36,100
My car. My car will be sold.
I'm calling the guy.
564
00:24:36,184 --> 00:24:37,351
What do you mean?
565
00:24:37,435 --> 00:24:39,270
You have two days
to get that painted back.
566
00:24:39,353 --> 00:24:40,605
You knew it was funny.
567
00:24:40,688 --> 00:24:43,858
I knew it was funny,
but it was funny at my expense.
568
00:24:43,941 --> 00:24:46,027
- Right.
- So I was sort of torn, you know.
569
00:24:46,110 --> 00:24:48,279
Starting out innocent enough at first,
570
00:24:48,362 --> 00:24:52,742
but then later barging into their room
with all sorts of ridiculous scenarios.
571
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:54,410
It's 3:00 in the morning.
572
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:57,705
{\an8}Well, see, my mother's gone away to Barrie
to visit relatives.
573
00:24:57,788 --> 00:24:59,165
{\an8}And my father's really lonely.
574
00:24:59,248 --> 00:25:02,043
So then we surprised you
with dancing girls.
575
00:25:02,126 --> 00:25:03,502
- Not again.
- Dad.
576
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:12,595
That part I enjoyed, yeah.
577
00:25:12,678 --> 00:25:14,889
Of course you did.
578
00:25:14,972 --> 00:25:17,475
Hi, I'm Lisa, and I'm a Taurus,
and I love camping.
579
00:25:17,558 --> 00:25:18,559
Oh, yeah? Great.
580
00:25:18,643 --> 00:25:21,103
Well, you'd be mad at first,
but then you would...
581
00:25:21,187 --> 00:25:24,148
You wouldn't shut down the whole shoot.
582
00:25:24,232 --> 00:25:27,026
And then there'd be funny lines
you would throw in.
583
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:28,277
Whoo!
584
00:25:28,778 --> 00:25:30,279
A little Tuesday night, eh?
585
00:25:31,447 --> 00:25:33,699
You had a cyst
being removed on the top of your head.
586
00:25:33,783 --> 00:25:35,868
- Yeah.
- Followed you to the doctor's office.
587
00:25:35,952 --> 00:25:38,037
And I had an electric frying pan with me.
588
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:39,830
And I asked the doctor
589
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:43,084
if I could fry up your cyst
after he removes it and eat it.
590
00:25:43,167 --> 00:25:44,377
- Oh, yeah.
- Remember that?
591
00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:46,254
But I always remember
you had a funny line.
592
00:25:46,337 --> 00:25:49,006
- Oh, really? Okay.
- So I showed up. I had the frying pan.
593
00:25:49,090 --> 00:25:51,717
I said, "I'm gonna go to your surgery.
I'm gonna eat your cyst."
594
00:25:51,801 --> 00:25:54,095
You said, "No, no,
today's my hemorrhoid operation."
595
00:25:54,178 --> 00:25:56,931
Really? Okay.
596
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:01,352
People weren't just laughing
at what I was doing.
597
00:26:01,435 --> 00:26:04,605
They were laughing at the reaction to it.
That was the funny part.
598
00:26:04,689 --> 00:26:06,691
Just a second. I'll be right back, okay?
599
00:26:06,774 --> 00:26:08,609
We didn't have a lot of money for props,
600
00:26:08,693 --> 00:26:11,404
so a lot of times we'd go
to the grocery store before the show.
601
00:26:15,574 --> 00:26:16,826
Kitty litter.
602
00:26:16,909 --> 00:26:18,244
Oh, God.
603
00:26:19,787 --> 00:26:23,082
Nice substance
to pour all over myself
604
00:26:23,165 --> 00:26:25,293
to confuse everybody at home watching.
605
00:26:26,335 --> 00:26:28,212
Bags of milk.
606
00:26:28,296 --> 00:26:30,423
I got a bag of milk in my pants!
607
00:26:32,633 --> 00:26:35,177
I got a bag of milk in my pants!
608
00:26:35,261 --> 00:26:37,388
And the show became a big hit locally.
609
00:26:37,471 --> 00:26:38,431
This guy is a clown.
610
00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:48,399
Let's go over to the storage space
where I kept all of my videotapes
611
00:26:48,482 --> 00:26:51,694
of Tom Green Show archives
and everything I've shot.
612
00:26:51,777 --> 00:26:54,947
The movies and videos
for the last 30 years.
613
00:26:55,031 --> 00:26:56,240
Oh, my God.
614
00:26:56,324 --> 00:27:00,369
The Tom Green Show, episode one.
615
00:27:00,453 --> 00:27:04,540
We're looking at probably
a few thousand videotapes.
616
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:08,669
It's almost like looking at these tapes
is gonna be looking at a different person.
617
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:12,923
The opinions expressed
in the following program
618
00:27:13,007 --> 00:27:15,718
are those of the participants
and do not necessarily reflect
619
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:18,262
the opinions of the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation.
620
00:27:18,346 --> 00:27:20,973
The show got bigger and bigger and bigger,
621
00:27:21,057 --> 00:27:23,809
eventually catching the eye of the CBC.
622
00:27:23,893 --> 00:27:27,188
We shot a pilot for the CBC.
We thought we had made it.
623
00:27:27,271 --> 00:27:29,398
Look at them all!
624
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:31,400
There's a whole bunch of them!
625
00:27:32,276 --> 00:27:33,527
Glenn Humplik!
626
00:27:34,362 --> 00:27:35,946
What a band, eh?
627
00:27:36,030 --> 00:27:38,657
What a band.
They make sounds with their instruments.
628
00:27:38,741 --> 00:27:41,911
- They make me want to boogie.
- They make you want to boogie.
629
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:43,120
Glenn, this is great, eh?
630
00:27:43,204 --> 00:27:46,207
And we have Punchbuggy, and we have
some guests on the show today as well.
631
00:27:46,290 --> 00:27:48,667
- Joe Flaherty is gonna be on the show.
- Yes.
632
00:27:48,751 --> 00:27:51,545
Tom was always driven
from the beginning
633
00:27:51,629 --> 00:27:53,964
about making a funny show,
634
00:27:54,048 --> 00:27:57,927
but also taking it
to a broadcaster somewhere.
635
00:27:58,010 --> 00:28:01,097
What are you, a snake or something
for God's sakes?
636
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:04,850
For years it was like, how are we gonna
get someone to pick up the show?
637
00:28:04,934 --> 00:28:07,937
Who wants to see Adam, the drummer,
go skateboarding?
638
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:09,939
Okay, let's go.
639
00:28:10,022 --> 00:28:11,941
We worked on that for a year.
640
00:28:12,024 --> 00:28:14,819
We made all of our videos
just as perfect as we could.
641
00:28:14,902 --> 00:28:17,113
{\an8}I'm actually a health inspector
during the day.
642
00:28:17,196 --> 00:28:19,073
You don't want to buy bad mustard.
643
00:28:22,993 --> 00:28:25,287
Has anyone ever come in the store
and gotten mustard in their eye?
644
00:28:25,371 --> 00:28:27,957
I got mustard in my eye!
645
00:28:29,583 --> 00:28:30,626
Hey!
646
00:28:32,044 --> 00:28:34,964
- Those days must have been great.
- Oh, yeah, they were great.
647
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:37,133
{\an8}- Must have been nuts for you.
Oh, yeah. Nuts.
648
00:28:37,216 --> 00:28:38,592
- Dave Thomas.
- Yes, yes.
649
00:28:38,676 --> 00:28:41,679
Martin Short, Eugene Levy, of course,
we're seeing all the time.
650
00:28:41,762 --> 00:28:43,305
What is your point?
651
00:28:43,389 --> 00:28:45,224
Are you saying I'm not doing well?
652
00:28:45,307 --> 00:28:47,476
- What are you up to these days?
- I'm in movies. Big movies.
653
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,687
- Oh, okay. Tell us about--
- All right?
654
00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:51,772
- Okay.
- How about Speed?
655
00:28:51,856 --> 00:28:54,233
I was in the movie with a piano.
656
00:28:54,316 --> 00:28:55,151
A piano.
657
00:28:55,234 --> 00:28:58,404
- We didn't see you in that anywhere.
- What?
658
00:28:58,487 --> 00:29:00,698
- I don't want to call you a liar.
- Don't go there, Green.
659
00:29:00,781 --> 00:29:04,285
- This is my first big show.
- I was in Speed, okay? I was cut out.
660
00:29:04,368 --> 00:29:06,579
You're calling me a liar,
and I don't think that's a good idea.
661
00:29:06,662 --> 00:29:08,789
You're not very experienced. You're green.
662
00:29:09,915 --> 00:29:13,502
I'd like you to know I've actually done
shows before on the community channel.
663
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:17,798
I did 50, and they were an hour long.
664
00:29:17,882 --> 00:29:20,176
I'm sorry!
Well, I've been in big movies!
665
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:22,636
Yeah, oh, Mr. SCTV!
666
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,183
Mr. SCTV!
667
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:29,268
- Mr. Big Time!
- Oh, shut up!
668
00:29:29,351 --> 00:29:31,520
Just shut the hell up! Shut up!
669
00:29:33,272 --> 00:29:34,398
You idiot!
670
00:29:36,358 --> 00:29:38,819
- Sorry, man.
- I'm sorry, too.
671
00:29:39,612 --> 00:29:41,489
- What's your name?
- My name's Tom.
672
00:29:41,572 --> 00:29:44,366
- Really-- This is different.
- I can't believe--
673
00:29:44,450 --> 00:29:46,952
It was a really exciting time.
674
00:29:47,036 --> 00:29:50,623
This was real television.
They aired the show on Halloween.
675
00:29:50,706 --> 00:29:52,875
- Tom the bomb.
- Dan the Man.
676
00:29:52,958 --> 00:29:54,043
Tom the bomb.
677
00:29:54,126 --> 00:29:56,504
Punchbuggy, Joe Flaherty,
and Dan the Man.
678
00:29:56,587 --> 00:30:00,132
Thank you very much.
See you next time, if there is one.
679
00:30:00,216 --> 00:30:01,091
Okay.
680
00:30:01,175 --> 00:30:04,094
Then we waited.
We waited almost a year.
681
00:30:04,178 --> 00:30:06,931
Only to find out
they weren't gonna go forward.
682
00:30:07,014 --> 00:30:09,183
They decided not to continue
with the show.
683
00:30:09,266 --> 00:30:10,643
I was devastated.
684
00:30:10,726 --> 00:30:13,229
I thought,
"How am I going to recover from this?"
685
00:30:13,312 --> 00:30:15,105
But we didn't quit.
686
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:17,691
My friends and I, we persevered.
687
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,693
{\an8}We looked at our options,
688
00:30:19,777 --> 00:30:22,112
{\an8}and there was a new network
called the Canadian Comedy Network,
689
00:30:22,196 --> 00:30:26,075
which we managed
to get a small deal on to do 13 episodes.
690
00:30:26,784 --> 00:30:29,328
We filmed them,
we shot them in a little theater
691
00:30:29,411 --> 00:30:32,498
with the equipment
that the public access station lent us.
692
00:30:32,581 --> 00:30:34,542
♪ Plastic bag, plastic bag ♪
693
00:30:34,625 --> 00:30:36,877
Hi, you're watching The Tom Green Show.
694
00:30:36,961 --> 00:30:38,879
And my name is Tom Green.
695
00:30:38,963 --> 00:30:40,839
And this is Glenn Humplik right here.
696
00:30:40,923 --> 00:30:42,591
Hey, Tom.
697
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:44,635
Oh! Ow!
698
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:47,805
Oh!
699
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:50,808
Why are you filming this? Keep straight.
700
00:30:51,517 --> 00:30:53,978
- Why are you filming this?
- Get the fuck out of here.
701
00:30:54,061 --> 00:30:56,480
Turn the camera off, you know?
702
00:30:58,649 --> 00:31:01,068
- Can I stick my head in that?
- I don't think it's safe.
703
00:31:03,988 --> 00:31:06,407
- Mommy.
- I'm not your mommy, to start off with.
704
00:31:06,490 --> 00:31:09,994
I'm just gonna rub my face on the ground
here while you eat your brownie.
705
00:31:10,077 --> 00:31:11,245
I'm not your mother.
706
00:31:11,328 --> 00:31:13,706
I'm a man, not a woman.
707
00:31:13,789 --> 00:31:17,126
We had to do something big,
so we did Hockey Guy in Chicago.
708
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:22,423
You sure I'm not bleeding?
709
00:31:24,216 --> 00:31:27,386
All right! It's all right, buddy.
It's all right.
710
00:31:27,469 --> 00:31:28,679
It's all right.
711
00:31:28,762 --> 00:31:29,722
We did this bit called...
712
00:31:29,805 --> 00:31:31,098
Funnier when I'm drunk.
713
00:31:31,181 --> 00:31:33,559
You got to be careful and responsible
when you drink.
714
00:31:33,642 --> 00:31:36,729
I know in my brain the segment is called
"Let's Get Drunk."
715
00:31:36,812 --> 00:31:39,732
I've had, like, seven fucking jam jars
716
00:31:39,815 --> 00:31:41,567
filled with rum and Coke.
717
00:31:41,650 --> 00:31:43,027
We should...
718
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:50,701
Now, I'm like...
719
00:31:50,784 --> 00:31:53,537
I remember at the time
when people saw that,
720
00:31:53,621 --> 00:31:55,414
they couldn't believe
what they were looking at.
721
00:31:56,373 --> 00:31:57,916
I like to say that this was real.
722
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,753
The first time somebody
really vomited on camera.
723
00:32:00,836 --> 00:32:02,212
Pretty proud of that.
724
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:04,423
Um...
725
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:06,675
There's nothing funny about this.
726
00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:08,886
It's really embarrassing
buying condoms sometimes.
727
00:32:08,969 --> 00:32:11,513
So I'm gonna bring the camera with me
just so it's less embarrassing.
728
00:32:11,597 --> 00:32:13,057
Just gonna buy some of these condoms
729
00:32:13,140 --> 00:32:16,060
because I'm planning on making love
to a woman tonight,
730
00:32:16,143 --> 00:32:19,355
and I'm really excited about that.
731
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:20,731
So what are you guys up to today?
732
00:32:20,814 --> 00:32:23,025
And we put all these episodes together.
733
00:32:23,108 --> 00:32:25,944
It's just some cream
that came from my body.
734
00:32:26,028 --> 00:32:28,322
And we made a show...
735
00:32:28,405 --> 00:32:30,532
We will be having the cow brought in.
736
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:33,744
Humans usually drink milk out of glasses.
737
00:32:33,827 --> 00:32:37,998
...unlike anything
that anybody had ever seen.
738
00:32:39,208 --> 00:32:40,793
I like the way milk tastes!
739
00:32:40,876 --> 00:32:42,211
It was weird.
740
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:44,380
It's time to clean the city.
741
00:32:44,463 --> 00:32:45,923
Oxyman...
742
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:49,885
Ha-ha! Pretty.
743
00:32:59,770 --> 00:33:01,397
I can't clean anymore.
744
00:33:04,608 --> 00:33:07,194
My English, it's very bad.
745
00:33:07,277 --> 00:33:08,821
Oh, no, you're good at English.
746
00:33:08,904 --> 00:33:12,741
So do the sailors on the boat,
do they do they masturbate a lot, or...
747
00:33:12,825 --> 00:33:14,868
- Yeah.
- A lot of masturbating.
748
00:33:14,952 --> 00:33:15,953
All right.
749
00:33:16,036 --> 00:33:17,538
Oh, shit!
750
00:33:20,124 --> 00:33:22,543
Oh, my God.
That's my parents right there.
751
00:33:22,626 --> 00:33:24,545
Oh, my God!
752
00:33:32,052 --> 00:33:33,095
- You okay?
- Yeah.
753
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:34,221
That bail was nuts.
754
00:33:38,892 --> 00:33:42,438
I mean, The Slutmobile
was the classic episode.
755
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:44,106
It's 3:00 in the morning.
756
00:33:44,189 --> 00:33:46,233
So to show my parents
how much I love them,
757
00:33:46,316 --> 00:33:50,738
I've turned my parents' vehicle
into more than just a vehicle.
758
00:33:50,821 --> 00:33:53,407
I've turned it into The Slutmobile.
759
00:33:53,490 --> 00:33:55,826
This bit became infamous immediately,
760
00:33:55,909 --> 00:33:58,996
and comedian friends of mine
still talk about it to this day.
761
00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:01,373
{\an8}He put "Slutmobile" on his dad's--
the hood of his car.
762
00:34:01,457 --> 00:34:02,916
{\an8}Oh, my God, on his parents'...
763
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,585
{\an8}- And then hid in the bushes.
Yeah.
764
00:34:04,668 --> 00:34:06,754
He didn't just like,
"Let me fuck with random people."
765
00:34:06,837 --> 00:34:07,796
My mommy and daddy.
766
00:34:12,426 --> 00:34:14,261
Holy Christ.
767
00:34:14,344 --> 00:34:17,264
- You like it, Dad? Come look at it.
- Go talk to your mother.
768
00:34:17,347 --> 00:34:20,142
"Go talk to your mother."
Like what was I supposed to do?
769
00:34:20,225 --> 00:34:22,728
- It's permanent. Come look at it.
- That's permanent.
770
00:34:22,811 --> 00:34:24,605
- What do you mean?
- Walking down to the police right now.
771
00:34:24,688 --> 00:34:27,524
You're walking?
Why can't you take the car?
772
00:34:27,608 --> 00:34:28,942
Don't walk to work.
773
00:34:29,860 --> 00:34:32,279
It's not obscene. It's... It's love.
774
00:34:32,362 --> 00:34:33,822
Those women are in love, Dad.
775
00:34:33,906 --> 00:34:36,074
You like it? Mom?
776
00:34:36,158 --> 00:34:38,827
My mom has no intention
of talking to me on camera
777
00:34:38,911 --> 00:34:40,287
about The Slutmobile.
778
00:34:40,370 --> 00:34:43,999
Fortunately, she left a few messages
on my answering machine.
779
00:34:44,082 --> 00:34:46,335
{\an8}
Tom, it's your mother.
780
00:34:46,418 --> 00:34:47,795
{\an8}Did you do that to our car?
781
00:34:47,878 --> 00:34:49,546
Uh, Dad can't take the bus to work.
782
00:34:49,630 --> 00:34:51,632
I'm gonna take The Slutmobile
to the bus stop.
783
00:34:51,715 --> 00:34:53,425
Wow, there's a lot of people
at the bus stop.
784
00:34:53,509 --> 00:34:56,261
I hope my dad's not embarrassed
by his Slutmobile.
785
00:34:56,345 --> 00:34:58,055
Come on, I'll drive you to work.
786
00:34:58,138 --> 00:34:59,556
- Come on.
- What?
787
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,225
That thing better be washed up.
788
00:35:01,308 --> 00:35:03,018
I don't know how you got it on there.
789
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,354
It's permanent. It's a present.
790
00:35:05,437 --> 00:35:08,273
Were you embarrassed?
Or did you think it was funny?
791
00:35:08,357 --> 00:35:11,527
By this stage of the game,
I was beginning to think it was funny
792
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:15,489
because I'd see them laughing
and I thought, "Oh, okay."
793
00:35:15,572 --> 00:35:17,950
Dad, don't worry
if your neighbors see The Slutmobile.
794
00:35:18,033 --> 00:35:20,619
I mean, it's just your Slutmobile, right?
795
00:35:20,702 --> 00:35:22,663
You understand, though,
that the reaction shot,
796
00:35:22,746 --> 00:35:25,457
like, when you're not happy
about something is kind of funny, right?
797
00:35:25,541 --> 00:35:27,501
- Well, not really.
- Like, you can't always be happy about it.
798
00:35:27,584 --> 00:35:29,837
How many bits were there
that you don't like?
799
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,922
Do you remember?
Is there more than one?
800
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:35,133
Well, the one where you put
the frigging cow's head in my bed.
801
00:35:35,217 --> 00:35:37,177
- Okay. Okay.
- That, I didn't like.
802
00:35:37,261 --> 00:35:39,429
My parents loved the movie The Godfather.
803
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:45,018
What the hell is that?
804
00:35:45,102 --> 00:35:47,729
You're going to get bloodstains
on this bedspread.
805
00:35:47,813 --> 00:35:50,065
- That's not real.
- Yes, it is.
806
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:52,276
Get it off this bed!
807
00:35:52,359 --> 00:35:53,986
That was the first time
you got really mad.
808
00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:55,195
I thought I was gonna throw up.
809
00:35:55,279 --> 00:35:56,238
Tasty corn.
810
00:35:56,321 --> 00:35:58,156
I don't want you doing that on my PA.
811
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,950
- Not allowed to do that?
- No.
812
00:36:00,033 --> 00:36:01,952
But if you want to do it,
just pick up the phone,
813
00:36:02,035 --> 00:36:03,370
hit the button that says "page."
814
00:36:03,453 --> 00:36:06,248
Mom, I'm up at the front.
Mom, I don't know where you are.
815
00:36:06,331 --> 00:36:08,792
We're not allowed cameras in the store,
so I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
816
00:36:08,876 --> 00:36:10,961
My brother's lost.
I'm really worried about that.
817
00:36:11,044 --> 00:36:13,839
- Please.
- Probably back by the girls' sweatpants.
818
00:36:13,922 --> 00:36:15,674
- Doing some shopping, I guess?
- Yeah.
819
00:36:16,842 --> 00:36:18,343
So how do you know where the--
820
00:36:18,427 --> 00:36:20,304
- You're not allowed on our PA system.
- Oh, no?
821
00:36:20,387 --> 00:36:21,847
- This way, please.
- Oh, okay.
822
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:24,391
- First of all, this is private property.
- Well, I'm gonna leave.
823
00:36:24,474 --> 00:36:26,393
- Yeah, let's go over here.
- Okay.
824
00:36:29,062 --> 00:36:30,898
I'll just go over here.
I'll just go this way.
825
00:36:30,981 --> 00:36:33,859
There are certain bits
that people would just keep bringing up.
826
00:36:33,942 --> 00:36:35,110
Where are you off to?
827
00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:37,154
- Where I'm off to?
- Where are you going?
828
00:36:37,237 --> 00:36:38,864
I don't know if it's any
of your damn business.
829
00:36:38,947 --> 00:36:41,617
- I was just wondering where you're going.
- You do, eh?
830
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:44,119
- I'm wondering where you're going, yeah.
- You wonder?
831
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:45,954
- Yeah.
- That's too freaking bad, eh?
832
00:36:46,038 --> 00:36:47,581
You don't want to tell me
where you're going?
833
00:36:47,664 --> 00:36:49,458
None of your damn business
where I'm going.
834
00:36:49,541 --> 00:36:53,128
People have been coming up to me on
the street the last 25 years, saying...
835
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:55,088
None of your damn business
where I'm going.
836
00:36:55,172 --> 00:36:56,632
So where are you going then?
837
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:00,677
I don't think it's any
of your damn business!
838
00:37:00,761 --> 00:37:02,387
- No, I know, it's not my business.
- No.
839
00:37:02,471 --> 00:37:04,973
- I'm actually--
- Do I ask you where you're going?
840
00:37:05,057 --> 00:37:07,726
Answer my question!
Where the hell are you going?
841
00:37:07,809 --> 00:37:09,269
- Um...
- Answer my question.
842
00:37:09,353 --> 00:37:11,647
Where are you going, eh? Hey?
843
00:37:13,857 --> 00:37:17,277
When somebody come up and ask me
where I'm going,
844
00:37:17,361 --> 00:37:20,822
that's nobody else's business but my own.
845
00:37:20,906 --> 00:37:23,408
Russell Chuadary is here, everyone.
He's a butcher.
846
00:37:25,118 --> 00:37:26,828
The episode we had a butcher as our guest
847
00:37:26,912 --> 00:37:29,498
became a memorable episode
for quite a few people.
848
00:37:29,581 --> 00:37:31,208
And it wasn't because of the butcher.
849
00:37:31,291 --> 00:37:33,919
It was because I decided
to destroy the set.
850
00:37:34,002 --> 00:37:35,671
It was flattering years later
851
00:37:35,754 --> 00:37:38,590
to have Eric André
thank me for the inspiration.
852
00:37:38,674 --> 00:37:40,968
- Set destruction is really your baby.
- Yeah.
853
00:37:42,552 --> 00:37:44,262
Our producer, Merilyn Read,
854
00:37:44,930 --> 00:37:46,932
was very upset after this
855
00:37:47,015 --> 00:37:51,144
because we had not planned
on jumping through and destroying the set.
856
00:37:51,228 --> 00:37:54,564
{\an8}I was devastated for, like, 60 seconds.
857
00:37:54,648 --> 00:37:59,277
And then I realized it's just part
of the whole scene here.
858
00:37:59,361 --> 00:38:03,448
They didn't tell me it was gonna happen,
but they never told me anything anyway.
859
00:38:04,825 --> 00:38:06,994
I just decided to jump through the set.
860
00:38:07,077 --> 00:38:08,829
But the fact that that was not planned,
you know what I mean?
861
00:38:08,912 --> 00:38:10,622
I just kinda got caught up in the moment.
862
00:38:15,002 --> 00:38:17,129
{\an8}And I didn't really realize it
until later.
863
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:19,589
{\an8}People were always like,
"Where'd you get the idea for the show?"
864
00:38:19,673 --> 00:38:22,384
But then just one day, I was like,
865
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:24,511
"Oh, that's from Tom's show. Tom Green."
866
00:38:24,594 --> 00:38:26,805
And then I was like,
"Oh, I'm just biting Tom Green."
867
00:38:26,888 --> 00:38:28,765
So thank you for your brain.
868
00:38:32,352 --> 00:38:33,603
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
869
00:38:33,687 --> 00:38:36,815
You look back at your life
and you go like, "Wow, holy crap."
870
00:38:36,898 --> 00:38:38,108
"I put that on television."
871
00:38:38,191 --> 00:38:40,110
I'm humping a dead moose.
872
00:38:40,193 --> 00:38:41,987
Come on! Come on!
873
00:38:42,070 --> 00:38:44,656
You know what's kinda interesting
about this, if anything,
874
00:38:44,740 --> 00:38:47,534
is that we were just kids
figuring this out on our own.
875
00:38:47,617 --> 00:38:49,286
I am Scuba Hood.
876
00:38:49,369 --> 00:38:51,955
I steal from the poor
and give to the rich.
877
00:38:52,039 --> 00:38:54,750
There wasn't some adult there saying,
"This is how we do it."
878
00:38:54,833 --> 00:38:56,501
"Write it like this and do it like this."
879
00:38:56,585 --> 00:39:00,964
We did the show from 1994 till 1999,
880
00:39:01,048 --> 00:39:05,427
before it was really being done
in any sort of professional capacity.
881
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:06,386
Turn the camera off.
882
00:39:06,470 --> 00:39:07,763
- What's your name?
- Scuba Hood.
883
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,723
- No, what is your real name?
- Scuba Hood.
884
00:39:09,806 --> 00:39:11,683
By making fun of an authority figure,
885
00:39:11,767 --> 00:39:13,477
you're sort of punching up.
886
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,980
- What is his real name?
- Okay, I'll give you my real name.
887
00:39:17,064 --> 00:39:18,273
Doug Fisher.
888
00:39:18,356 --> 00:39:19,483
Doug...
889
00:39:20,067 --> 00:39:20,984
Fisher.
890
00:39:26,490 --> 00:39:28,784
- Get out of here.
- Just playing the game.
891
00:39:28,867 --> 00:39:30,285
- What the hell you doing?
- It's my radio.
892
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:32,287
- Get off the field.
- Why are you pushing me?
893
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:35,665
This is a kid's league game.
894
00:39:35,749 --> 00:39:37,793
- We're leaving. You're stalling us.
- Yeah, keep going.
895
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:39,711
- Turn the fucking thing off.
- Don't touch him.
896
00:39:39,795 --> 00:39:43,215
Soccer fans are insane.
You're just a bunch of English hooligans!
897
00:39:43,298 --> 00:39:44,800
Sorry about that.
898
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:54,518
Yeah!

900
00:39:57,479 --> 00:39:58,438
Pierce...
901
00:40:06,196 --> 00:40:07,614
Please welcome Tom Green!
902
00:40:07,697 --> 00:40:10,575
You were down at Mike Bullard's show,
903
00:40:10,659 --> 00:40:13,286
and Howard Lapides became your manager.
904
00:40:13,370 --> 00:40:15,997
- Howard Lapides.
- May he rest in peace.
905
00:40:16,081 --> 00:40:18,083
{\an8}We were representing Mike Bullard,
906
00:40:18,166 --> 00:40:21,545
{\an8}and Mike had a talk show in Canada.
907
00:40:21,628 --> 00:40:25,257
And Howard went up to deal with Mike
on a few things,
908
00:40:25,340 --> 00:40:28,176
and Tom was a guest on Mike's show.
909
00:40:28,260 --> 00:40:30,137
Howard and Tom clicked immediately.
910
00:40:30,220 --> 00:40:32,597
Crowds of kids showed up with signs,
911
00:40:32,681 --> 00:40:35,809
and they knew every bit that we'd done
on the Comedy Network.
912
00:40:35,892 --> 00:40:38,645
He came back and told me about Tom,
913
00:40:38,728 --> 00:40:41,106
and he said, "I want to sign this guy."
914
00:40:41,189 --> 00:40:43,608
"There's something really special
about him."
915
00:40:43,692 --> 00:40:45,485
I sent him some tapes
916
00:40:45,569 --> 00:40:47,737
of some of our wildest moments
from the show,
917
00:40:47,821 --> 00:40:49,614
{\an8}and he marched them into MTV.
918
00:40:49,698 --> 00:40:51,867
{\an8}And MTV had never seen anything like it.
919
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:53,535
{\an8}They flew me to Los Angeles.
920
00:40:53,618 --> 00:40:55,620
They had me pitch the show in person.
921
00:40:56,246 --> 00:40:57,080
Are we all going?
922
00:40:57,164 --> 00:40:59,833
And the next thing you know,
I was being flown to New York.
923
00:41:00,542 --> 00:41:01,877
And away we went.

We had writers, producers,
camera people in New York City.
930
00:41:21,855 --> 00:41:23,857
They built us a studio in Times Square.
931
00:41:23,940 --> 00:41:25,942
It was like I'd died and gone to heaven.
932
00:41:26,026 --> 00:41:28,153
My dreams were really coming true.
933
00:41:28,236 --> 00:41:30,697
Before you know it,
the show was on the air.
934
00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:33,283
Wow, what an audience. Wow.
935
00:41:34,201 --> 00:41:36,119
Holy doodle.
936
00:41:36,203 --> 00:41:38,955
- Listen to them.
- Yeah, it's a great audience out there.
937
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:41,541
Listen to them roar.
Welcome to The Tom Green Show.
938
00:41:41,625 --> 00:41:44,127
I'm Tom, and this is Glenn Humplik.
939
00:41:46,213 --> 00:41:47,964
Glenn Humplik!
940
00:41:49,341 --> 00:41:50,467
A good friend of mine.
941
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:52,177
Been friends a long time.
942
00:41:52,260 --> 00:41:54,596
- You're a good friend of mine, right?
- Good friend.
943
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:57,432
And Phil right behind me in the window.
944
00:41:57,515 --> 00:41:58,892
He laughs a lot.
945
00:42:00,310 --> 00:42:03,897
We've been doing a show like this together
on cable access for a few years now.
946
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:06,107
- Four years now.
- Yeah, and now we're here on MTV.
947
00:42:06,191 --> 00:42:07,234
It's really...
948
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,571
We couldn't believe
how quickly things took off.
949
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:17,452
You take your pants off your now.
950
00:42:17,535 --> 00:42:20,121
You're clapping?
You're the only one clapping right now.
951
00:42:22,874 --> 00:42:24,167
MTV.
952
00:42:24,251 --> 00:42:25,669
Music Television.
953
00:42:25,752 --> 00:42:30,382
MTV took the place of what
almost like the entire internet does now.
954
00:42:30,465 --> 00:42:31,967
If you cared about music,
955
00:42:32,050 --> 00:42:33,969
if you cared about pop culture,
956
00:42:34,052 --> 00:42:35,053
you go to MTV.
957
00:42:35,136 --> 00:42:38,056
So all young people would go watch MTV.
Everybody would watch MTV.
958
00:42:38,139 --> 00:42:41,893
So it was sort of a shell shock, you know.
959
00:42:41,977 --> 00:42:44,980
When you were 15 years old,
you worked at a hamburger chain.
960
00:42:45,063 --> 00:42:47,107
- Why are you doing this?
- Just tell the people what you did.
961
00:42:47,190 --> 00:42:48,650
I went for a...
962
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:51,987
A piss in this big bucket of pickles.
963
00:42:52,070 --> 00:42:56,199
We're gonna teach you
how to play a game of pickle...
964
00:42:57,033 --> 00:42:58,076
roulette.
965
00:42:58,159 --> 00:42:59,327
Before the show,
966
00:42:59,411 --> 00:43:01,746
I, uh, urinated in one of these pickle...
967
00:43:02,872 --> 00:43:04,499
So this is lesson-teaching time.
968
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:08,420
If there's a yellow dot,
you've got urine, okay?
969
00:43:10,213 --> 00:43:12,007
It really wasn't a game of roulette here.
970
00:43:12,090 --> 00:43:15,135
We wanted to make sure you learned
your lesson, so actually, all the jars...
971
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:18,346
We're learning a lot
about camouflage today.
972
00:43:18,430 --> 00:43:19,597
I'm in the bushes.
973
00:43:19,681 --> 00:43:21,891
You can't see me in the bushes
because I'm camouflaged.
974
00:43:21,975 --> 00:43:24,728
When the show got picked up by MTV,
975
00:43:26,104 --> 00:43:30,317
it had to be one of the most exciting
moments of my entire life.
976
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,943
At least up to that point.
977
00:43:32,027 --> 00:43:33,111
Maybe ever.
978
00:43:33,194 --> 00:43:35,155
Put your mouth on it and suck it. Yes.
979
00:43:36,614 --> 00:43:38,783
It's time for one of my favorite
sporting events.
980
00:43:38,867 --> 00:43:41,036
It only happens once every four years.
981
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:43,038
It's the cockroach Olympics.
982
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,251
We were trying to smash
the conventions of traditional comedy.
983
00:43:48,335 --> 00:43:52,005
I get it now, that sounds, like,
a bit naive and a bit arrogant
984
00:43:52,088 --> 00:43:55,175
and youthful, wide-eyed, but you
got to have that kind of confidence.
985
00:43:55,258 --> 00:43:59,929
{\an8}You know what I love about your story
is that you did that self-hustle in an era
986
00:44:00,013 --> 00:44:03,767
{\an8}where it kind of wasn't as easy
as it is now.
987
00:44:03,850 --> 00:44:06,102
Like, you hear kids complaining, like,
"How do I..."
988
00:44:06,186 --> 00:44:09,105
It's like, bro, you've got this.
This is all you fucking need now.
989
00:44:09,189 --> 00:44:10,940
You can make a TV show on this.
990
00:44:11,024 --> 00:44:14,277
There's no excuse to not do it now,
but to do it--
991
00:44:14,361 --> 00:44:15,945
- "What do I do?"
- How punk rock is it
992
00:44:16,029 --> 00:44:18,907
that you did it in a time
where it was fucking so hard to do it?
993
00:44:18,990 --> 00:44:22,994
Today, we're gonna investigate guarantees
and whether or not they're effective.
994
00:44:23,078 --> 00:44:24,871
Oh, this has a one-year guarantee on it.
995
00:44:25,872 --> 00:44:27,082
You will have to pay for it.
996
00:44:27,165 --> 00:44:28,958
- Can I use my guarantee here?
- No, you can't.
997
00:44:29,042 --> 00:44:32,212
- There's a 90-day guarantee on this?
- Everything is 90 days in the store.
998
00:44:32,295 --> 00:44:34,381
- "For a period of one year."
- I understand that.
999
00:44:34,464 --> 00:44:36,674
You can even
break your head too like that.
1000
00:44:39,302 --> 00:44:40,136
Thanks anyways.
1001
00:44:40,220 --> 00:44:41,930
If you walk out of the store,
I'm gonna f*** you up.
1002
00:44:42,013 --> 00:44:43,390
This says "guaranteed for a year."
1003
00:44:43,473 --> 00:44:45,392
We're making a movie about guarantees.
1004
00:44:45,475 --> 00:44:48,436
I wouldn't give a f***
if you were making it about Moses.
1005
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:52,524
I will kick your m*********** ass
on camera.
1006
00:44:52,607 --> 00:44:53,858
Give me $50.
1007
00:44:53,942 --> 00:44:56,152
Tom is an extraordinary trailblazer.
1008
00:44:56,236 --> 00:45:00,240
{\an8}He did a lot in comedy,
and he paved a lot of paths.
1009
00:45:00,323 --> 00:45:03,576
And he's a young guy.
That's the thing that's so astounding.
1010
00:45:03,660 --> 00:45:06,287
Everybody forgets that he really started
1011
00:45:06,371 --> 00:45:09,165
as a very young man
because he's a young guy now.
1012
00:45:09,249 --> 00:45:13,628
This is wild, man. This is where I lived
when I moved to New York City.
1013
00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:15,463
I lived right down the street here.
1014
00:45:15,547 --> 00:45:18,716
That used to be the studio right up there,
but the studio's not there anymore.
1015
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,679
So it's pretty cool being back here.
1016
00:45:22,762 --> 00:45:25,223
- I absolutely loved your show.
- Yeah. It was right here.
1017
00:45:25,306 --> 00:45:27,851
- Did you watch it a lot? Cool, man.
- Oh, absolutely.
1018
00:45:27,934 --> 00:45:29,644
Undercutter pizza was amazing.
1019
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:32,188
We're gonna follow that pizza guy
to his next delivery,
1020
00:45:32,272 --> 00:45:34,732
and we're gonna try and undercut
the competition.
1021
00:45:35,984 --> 00:45:37,652
- Did you order the pizza?
- Yeah.
1022
00:45:37,735 --> 00:45:39,571
What toppings did you guys want
on your pizza?
1023
00:45:39,654 --> 00:45:42,073
- Extra cheese.
- Extra cheese. Okay.
1024
00:45:42,157 --> 00:45:44,200
- Where's my pizza?
- This is it here.
1025
00:45:44,284 --> 00:45:45,827
No, we're from Undercutters.
1026
00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:48,037
- How much is yours?
- Get the hell away from me.
1027
00:45:48,121 --> 00:45:50,832
- You get it cheaper from me, though.
- I really don't give a f***. Get out.
1028
00:45:50,915 --> 00:45:52,876
Let the f***** dog out.
1029
00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:54,669
Yeah, but this is a new business--
1030
00:45:54,752 --> 00:45:57,088
I'll get a new business
that's right up your ass.
1031
00:45:57,172 --> 00:45:59,048
- Hey.
- Get your f***** out of here.
1032
00:45:59,132 --> 00:46:00,258
No, don't...
1033
00:46:00,341 --> 00:46:01,176
Don't...
1034
00:46:01,259 --> 00:46:03,553
- Get this s*** out of here now.
- Okay.
1035
00:46:03,636 --> 00:46:05,638
- We were gonna give it to you cheaper.
- Whatever.
1036
00:46:05,722 --> 00:46:08,850
Do me a favor, take your s***
and f*** somewhere else.
1037
00:46:08,933 --> 00:46:11,686
I'm sorry. But, you know,
we just go up to where the pizza people--
1038
00:46:11,769 --> 00:46:13,354
- Shut your f***** mouth and go!
- Okay.
1039
00:46:13,438 --> 00:46:14,939
He's got a hammer. Go.
1040
00:46:15,023 --> 00:46:17,192
- Is that a pizza you got there?
- You're Tom Green, right?
1041
00:46:17,275 --> 00:46:19,319
Yes, sir.
How are you doing, my friend?
1042
00:46:19,402 --> 00:46:20,653
By the time we got to MTV,
1043
00:46:20,737 --> 00:46:23,114
we've been messing around
with a lot of stuff for a long time.
1044
00:46:23,198 --> 00:46:25,283
We'd figured out a lot of things
that worked and what didn't work.
1045
00:46:25,366 --> 00:46:28,870
Ten episodes of shows
that were edited out of six,
1046
00:46:28,953 --> 00:46:31,164
seven years of experimentation.
1047
00:46:31,247 --> 00:46:33,208
From New York,
1048
00:46:33,291 --> 00:46:36,628
home to last year's Grammy Awards,
1049
00:46:36,711 --> 00:46:39,839
it's the Late Show with David Letterman.
1050
00:46:39,923 --> 00:46:42,091
We got a call from David Letterman.
1051
00:46:42,175 --> 00:46:45,595
From MTV's
The Tom Green Show, Tom Green.
1052
00:46:45,678 --> 00:46:47,722
He asked me to come on his show.
1053
00:46:47,805 --> 00:46:48,973
I couldn't believe it.
1054
00:46:49,057 --> 00:46:50,391
MTV couldn't believe it.
1055
00:46:50,475 --> 00:46:52,727
David Letterman was the king of New York.
1056
00:46:52,810 --> 00:46:54,646
He was the king of television,
1057
00:46:54,729 --> 00:46:56,064
and I'm going on his show.
1058
00:46:56,147 --> 00:47:00,860
Our next guest has a brand-new
television program on MTV.
1059
00:47:00,944 --> 00:47:02,946
It's called The Tom Green Show.
1060
00:47:03,029 --> 00:47:06,616
Here's the host of The Tom Green Show,
Tom Green.
1061
00:47:06,699 --> 00:47:08,743
Tom, come on out here.
1062
00:47:22,173 --> 00:47:23,216
Wow.
1063
00:47:24,676 --> 00:47:26,386
- Welcome to the show.
- Wow.
1064
00:47:26,469 --> 00:47:28,805
Welcome to... Well, just welcome.
How are you doing?
1065
00:47:28,888 --> 00:47:31,516
- I got a new sweater for the show.
- It's nice. It's handsome.
1066
00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:34,143
It's got that stripe.
What is it, Gap, 40 bucks?
1067
00:47:34,227 --> 00:47:35,311
Something like that, yeah.
1068
00:47:35,395 --> 00:47:38,439
I could actually say that I'd maybe
achieved my dream in life.
1069
00:47:38,523 --> 00:47:41,442
- To be on the David Letterman show.
- Right.
1070
00:47:41,526 --> 00:47:43,528
When you were a kid
growing up in Ottawa, in Canada,
1071
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:45,321
was this something
you always wanted to do?
1072
00:47:45,405 --> 00:47:46,364
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
1073
00:47:46,447 --> 00:47:49,242
And we got picked up
by this network in Canada,
1074
00:47:49,325 --> 00:47:51,619
and then MTV brought us down here
and it's crazy.
1075
00:47:51,703 --> 00:47:53,997
I've been here for five,
no, two months now.
1076
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,374
This is like one of those
stories that you hear
1077
00:47:56,457 --> 00:47:58,167
every couple of decades
and it's just, "Oh, my God,
1078
00:47:58,251 --> 00:48:00,295
they picked a guy
out of obscurity in Canada,
1079
00:48:00,378 --> 00:48:02,547
and the next thing you know,
he's on the MTV. And look out."
1080
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:05,341
Well, this is weird to be here,
you know, in New York City.
1081
00:48:05,425 --> 00:48:09,304
I live three blocks away from here
in a hotel, and, um...
1082
00:48:12,849 --> 00:48:14,559
In a hotel. And, um...
1083
00:48:15,268 --> 00:48:18,813
But you guys picked me up in a car today
and brought me here in the car.
1084
00:48:18,896 --> 00:48:20,690
- I only live three blocks away.
- All right.
1085
00:48:26,362 --> 00:48:27,405
I thought maybe...
1086
00:48:28,281 --> 00:48:31,534
And it was like it's a really long car.
Like, it's a gorgeous car.
1087
00:48:31,618 --> 00:48:33,328
All tinted windows and everything.
1088
00:48:33,411 --> 00:48:36,122
And I wanted to ask them to take me
around the block a few times
1089
00:48:36,205 --> 00:48:38,291
and have a little more time in it, but...
1090
00:48:38,374 --> 00:48:41,127
I remember after the interview,
before I left the stage,
1091
00:48:41,210 --> 00:48:45,006
I did sort of a literally
like a Mary Tyler Moore kind of pirouette.
1092
00:48:45,089 --> 00:48:47,884
- I just looked around.
- Throw your hat in the air?
1093
00:48:47,967 --> 00:48:51,054
Yeah, kind of.
I just didn't want to leave the stage.
1094
00:48:51,137 --> 00:48:53,389
Wasn't the first American show
that I did, though.
1095
00:48:53,473 --> 00:48:55,767
The first American show
that I did was Oprah.
1096
00:48:55,850 --> 00:48:59,979
My friend Tom Segura recently talked about
this on The Joe Rogan Experience.
1097
00:49:00,063 --> 00:49:03,274
When Tom Green was on, I couldn't...
It was stuff I couldn't even believe.
1098
00:49:03,358 --> 00:49:05,443
Tom Green did Oprah.
1099
00:49:05,526 --> 00:49:07,612
- Wow. Did he really?
- Oprah. Yes.
1100
00:49:07,695 --> 00:49:08,946
Oprah was like...
1101
00:49:09,030 --> 00:49:11,157
It was such a phenomena,
what was going on.
1102
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:12,700
The show was so big.
1103
00:49:12,784 --> 00:49:15,995
{\an8}Tom Green has been pulling pranks
on his own parents
1104
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:17,497
{\an8}since his days on radio.
1105
00:49:17,580 --> 00:49:18,748
{\an8}How'd it start?
1106
00:49:18,831 --> 00:49:22,585
Started doing a show on a community
TV station a few years ago, and...
1107
00:49:23,336 --> 00:49:25,838
{\an8}basically I realized
they were really good targets.
1108
00:49:26,381 --> 00:49:28,800
And then what happened after
we did a few of these pranks to them,
1109
00:49:28,883 --> 00:49:31,552
is I realized they actually
kind of secretly like it.
1110
00:49:31,636 --> 00:49:34,180
Wrong.
This is where they got it wrong.
1111
00:49:34,263 --> 00:49:35,765
They showed a lot of your...
1112
00:49:35,848 --> 00:49:37,767
They showed clips from the show.
1113
00:49:37,850 --> 00:49:40,603
You saw Oprah laughing
at all these clips, right?
1114
00:49:40,687 --> 00:49:43,523
And then she surprised you guys with what?
1115
00:49:43,606 --> 00:49:44,649
I love you very much,
1116
00:49:44,732 --> 00:49:47,402
and I just want to send you somewhere
far away from me.
1117
00:49:47,485 --> 00:49:49,404
You know, you can have some relax time.
1118
00:49:49,487 --> 00:49:52,031
And I want to send you on a cruise,
a Renaissance cruise
1119
00:49:52,115 --> 00:49:54,909
to Tahiti for 12 days, okay?
1120
00:49:54,992 --> 00:49:57,161
- Yeah.
- It's true. It's really true.
1121
00:49:57,245 --> 00:49:59,247
This is all--
Oprah helped set all this up.
1122
00:49:59,330 --> 00:50:01,124
Oprah was so nice. She had--
1123
00:50:01,207 --> 00:50:04,502
She put her arm around me
because she knew I was nervous, you know.
1124
00:50:04,585 --> 00:50:06,379
- Yeah, she was lovely.
- Yeah.
1125
00:50:07,588 --> 00:50:09,716
Here I am at the University of Cincinnati,
1126
00:50:09,799 --> 00:50:12,552
continuing to prove that everyone
loves the taste of Pepsi One.
1127
00:50:13,970 --> 00:50:15,179
Ready? Open up.
1128
00:50:15,263 --> 00:50:16,305
I couldn't believe it.
1129
00:50:16,389 --> 00:50:18,307
Pepsi hired me to do Pepsi commercials
1130
00:50:18,391 --> 00:50:20,476
directed by Todd Phillips,
1131
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,563
and they aired during the NCAA Finals.
1132
00:50:23,646 --> 00:50:25,440
Millions and millions of new people
1133
00:50:25,523 --> 00:50:27,358
discovered The Tom Green Show.
1134
00:50:27,442 --> 00:50:29,235
Go! Go! Go! Go!
1135
00:50:29,819 --> 00:50:32,572
It changed everything.
1136
00:50:33,281 --> 00:50:35,825
Please welcome, everybody,
Janeane Garofalo.
1137
00:50:35,908 --> 00:50:39,120
Come out from under the desk, Janeane.
1138
00:50:39,203 --> 00:50:41,664
You might not know this,
but Glenn Humplik is a huge fan of yours.
1139
00:50:41,748 --> 00:50:44,417
And I, his. No offense.
You are the reason why I watch this show.
1140
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:45,376
Wow.
1141
00:50:45,460 --> 00:50:46,878
Whenever you're ready!
1142
00:50:52,091 --> 00:50:54,093
I just want to say thanks, Janeane,
for coming on the show.
1143
00:50:54,177 --> 00:50:55,595
Thank you for having me on the show, Tom.
1144
00:50:55,678 --> 00:50:57,805
- Thanks for getting in the porridge.
- I was my pleasure.
1145
00:50:57,889 --> 00:51:00,850
{\an8}Your show was the first of its kind.
1146
00:51:00,933 --> 00:51:02,810
Like, you're a true original,
1147
00:51:02,894 --> 00:51:07,023
and that was must-see television for us.
1148
00:51:07,106 --> 00:51:09,734
- Oh, my God.
- I mean, I'm sure you realize it, but...
1149
00:51:09,817 --> 00:51:12,779
- And it was blew our fucking minds.
- It blew our minds, man.
1150
00:51:12,862 --> 00:51:16,324
At one point off the website,
I had a general email,
1151
00:51:16,407 --> 00:51:18,493
{\an8}and I got an email from Tony Hawk.
1152
00:51:18,576 --> 00:51:21,496
{\an8}I remember you were in shock
when I told you about that.
1153
00:51:21,579 --> 00:51:23,414
Yeah, and then he came to New York
and did the show.
1154
00:51:23,498 --> 00:51:24,457
He did the show.
1155
00:51:24,540 --> 00:51:27,543
I remember that clear as day
because Tony Hawk was like my idol.
1156
00:51:27,627 --> 00:51:28,461
Idol, yeah.
1157
00:51:28,544 --> 00:51:31,589
He said, "I'll meet you at the studio."
I said, "What hotel are you staying at?"
1158
00:51:31,672 --> 00:51:34,258
I said, "Do you want
to skate to the studio?"
1159
00:51:35,259 --> 00:51:37,386
And he said, "I'm staying at this hotel."
1160
00:51:37,470 --> 00:51:39,889
I said, "Okay, I'll meet you at the hotel
and we'll skate to the studio."
1161
00:51:39,972 --> 00:51:43,226
And he said, "Sure." We skated through
New York to the studio, me and him.
1162
00:51:45,770 --> 00:51:47,980
- A dream come true.
- Oh, my God, it was crazy.
1163
00:51:48,064 --> 00:51:49,398
I couldn't even believe it.
1164
00:51:49,482 --> 00:51:52,068
Pretty cool when your heroes
can become your friends.
1165
00:51:52,151 --> 00:51:53,361
Tony and I hit it off,
1166
00:51:53,444 --> 00:51:55,655
and he'd come on my talk shows
over the years,
1167
00:51:55,738 --> 00:51:57,532
and we'd reminisce
about that first appearance.
1168
00:51:57,615 --> 00:51:59,492
This is exciting for me
to talk about this stuff.
1169
00:51:59,575 --> 00:52:01,953
- Me too.
- Remember we were doing the jumpy thing.
1170
00:52:02,036 --> 00:52:03,204
Yeah.
1171
00:52:03,287 --> 00:52:04,121
Wow.
1172
00:52:04,205 --> 00:52:08,000
And you got on your stomach
and literally swam through
1173
00:52:08,084 --> 00:52:10,586
and made me follow you,
and I was like, "This is insane."
1174
00:52:10,670 --> 00:52:11,921
"We're gonna get arrested here."
1175
00:52:12,004 --> 00:52:14,257
And you're like,
"Why did I email this goof?"
1176
00:52:18,970 --> 00:52:20,888
- I love you, man.
- I love Tom Green.
1177
00:52:20,972 --> 00:52:23,140
- When's your show gonna be on?
- What's that?
1178
00:52:23,224 --> 00:52:25,977
When's your show? How come there aren't
any new episodes on Monday nights?
1179
00:52:26,060 --> 00:52:29,605
It increasingly became more difficult
1180
00:52:29,689 --> 00:52:32,024
to do jokes on the street
1181
00:52:32,108 --> 00:52:35,069
because people were recognizing Tom
all over the place.
1182
00:52:35,152 --> 00:52:37,113
Yeah! Tom Green rocks!
1183
00:52:37,196 --> 00:52:38,990
All right!
1184
00:52:39,073 --> 00:52:40,616
Yeah!
1185
00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:42,118
Yeah!
1186
00:52:44,537 --> 00:52:48,082
We were gonna shoot a segment
out there today, but then...
1187
00:52:48,165 --> 00:52:49,333
Hey, guys.
1188
00:52:50,459 --> 00:52:52,378
- What's going on, man?
- Not much.
1189
00:52:52,461 --> 00:52:54,380
- Cool, man.
- Happy St. Paddy's Day, man.
1190
00:52:54,463 --> 00:52:55,423
You too, guys.
1191
00:52:55,506 --> 00:52:57,925
That's why we shot
"The Bum Bum Song" in Seattle.
1192
00:52:58,009 --> 00:53:00,386
Because we had to take our whole crew
and fly to cities
1193
00:53:00,469 --> 00:53:02,555
where there weren't
as many people on the streets.
1194
00:53:02,638 --> 00:53:04,056
We wrote and recorded a song, Glenn.
1195
00:53:04,140 --> 00:53:06,392
I have high hopes
that this song will place me
1196
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:10,187
alongside the likes of Bryan Adams
and Celine Dion.
1197
00:53:10,271 --> 00:53:12,732
And we've actually made a video
for the song, Glenn.
1198
00:53:12,815 --> 00:53:14,150
Okay.
1199
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:16,652
And we're going to world-premiere it
right now.
1200
00:53:16,736 --> 00:53:19,989
The following is your first
shocking glimpse into the latest
1201
00:53:20,072 --> 00:53:24,410
top secret project from one
of the world's most notorious stars.

1207
00:53:38,090 --> 00:53:40,718
We dropped our song
that we recorded three days ago
1208
00:53:40,801 --> 00:53:44,430
off in the studio
at a radio station here in Seattle.
1209
00:53:44,513 --> 00:53:47,099
And it just hit number two.
1210
00:53:47,183 --> 00:53:49,018
MTV took note.
1211
00:53:49,101 --> 00:53:51,437
Before we went back,
we shot a video the next day in Seattle
1212
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:52,730
for "The Bum Bum Song."
1213
00:53:52,813 --> 00:53:54,982
We went on our show that week
and I said...
1214
00:53:55,066 --> 00:53:57,860
Call the radio station, say,
"I want to hear 'The Bum Bum Song.'"
1215
00:53:57,944 --> 00:53:59,946
And call Total Request Live and say,
1216
00:54:00,029 --> 00:54:02,949
"Carson, Carson, I want to hear
'The Bum Bum Song.'"
1217
00:54:03,032 --> 00:54:03,950
Okay?
1218
00:54:04,033 --> 00:54:07,703
{\an8}The very next day, "The Bum Bum Song"
was the number one song
1219
00:54:07,787 --> 00:54:09,580
{\an8}on Carson Daly's Total Request Live.
1220
00:54:09,664 --> 00:54:11,999
It was the number one song
all week that week.
1221
00:54:12,083 --> 00:54:16,128
Now, maybe you're not expecting that
then this new emerging artist, Eminem,
1222
00:54:16,212 --> 00:54:20,007
will come out
and make his big single all about it.

1227
00:54:29,225 --> 00:54:33,104
Let's check out what that little joker
Tom Green has to offer for us.
1228
00:54:33,187 --> 00:54:36,524
Everyone thinks they're the real
Slim Shady, but they're not.
1229
00:54:36,607 --> 00:54:39,318
Everyone thinks I'm a stupid dummy.
My mom, my dad.
1230
00:54:39,402 --> 00:54:41,946
But I'm gonna show them.
I'm the real Slim Shady.
1231
00:54:42,029 --> 00:54:45,074
- Please, say "I'm the real Slim Shady."
- I'm the real Slim Shady.
1232
00:54:45,157 --> 00:54:46,200
You're a liar!
1233
00:54:46,283 --> 00:54:47,743
After about six months,
1234
00:54:47,827 --> 00:54:49,745
we couldn't shoot
in New York City anymore,
1235
00:54:49,829 --> 00:54:51,205
so we moved to Los Angeles.
1236
00:54:51,288 --> 00:54:52,373
Welcome to the show.
1237
00:54:52,456 --> 00:54:55,418
I don't know if you noticed that things
look a little bit different here
1238
00:54:55,501 --> 00:54:58,087
but I'm in California right now.
1239
00:55:00,339 --> 00:55:03,968
We've actually been doing the shows
in New York City for the past year,
1240
00:55:04,051 --> 00:55:07,304
and I get a sense
that people might be a little bit worried
1241
00:55:07,388 --> 00:55:09,473
because they don't see Glenn
and they don't see Phil,
1242
00:55:09,557 --> 00:55:10,808
and they're probably saying,
1243
00:55:10,891 --> 00:55:12,768
"Maybe Glenn and Phil
won't be able to make it to the show
1244
00:55:12,852 --> 00:55:14,311
because they live in Canada."
1245
00:55:15,813 --> 00:55:17,273
Yeah. You're worried, right?
1246
00:55:17,356 --> 00:55:19,525
That's why you all did
that sound with your mouths.
1247
00:55:21,068 --> 00:55:22,695
Wait, what's that?
1248
00:55:22,778 --> 00:55:24,780
Oh, they're here? Oh, okay.
1249
00:55:24,864 --> 00:55:28,075
Let's welcome, all the way
from a little place called Canada...
1250
00:55:39,712 --> 00:55:42,882
Tonight, I invite you to listen
to an interesting story.
1251
00:55:42,965 --> 00:55:46,677
The story of an adventure
with Miss Monica Lewinsky.
1252
00:55:46,761 --> 00:55:49,013
The moment that I realized
that Tom was one of my heroes
1253
00:55:49,096 --> 00:55:51,515
was when he did a show
with Monica Lewinsky.
1254
00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:53,559
{\an8}We just landed in Ottawa.
We're here with Monica.
1255
00:55:53,642 --> 00:55:55,019
For the longest time,
1256
00:55:55,102 --> 00:55:56,937
Monica was the subject
of a lot of ridicule,
1257
00:55:57,021 --> 00:56:00,316
and people just made fun of her
because, you know, she was the hot topic,
1258
00:56:00,399 --> 00:56:01,942
and it was easy to punch down.
1259
00:56:02,026 --> 00:56:04,612
{\an8}Today is Monica Day, of course,
across the United States.
1260
00:56:04,695 --> 00:56:06,822
{\an8}Is it a federal holiday, I think?
1261
00:56:06,906 --> 00:56:09,241
- Probably.
- All zippers at half-mast.
1262
00:56:09,325 --> 00:56:11,035
I don't know.
1263
00:56:11,118 --> 00:56:12,995
{\an8}This is my parents' house, okay?
1264
00:56:13,079 --> 00:56:14,747
Dad?
1265
00:56:14,830 --> 00:56:17,083
Monica, how are you?
Nice to meet you.
1266
00:56:17,166 --> 00:56:18,042
Hi.
1267
00:56:18,125 --> 00:56:20,336
{\an8}I mean, I know a lot of people
are probably wondering
1268
00:56:20,419 --> 00:56:23,089
{\an8}why is Monica Lewinsky in Ottawa with Tom?
1269
00:56:23,172 --> 00:56:25,257
{\an8}We can't really answer
that question today.
1270
00:56:25,341 --> 00:56:28,719
We're gonna answer that question tomorrow
at Le P'Tit Castor restaurant.
1271
00:56:28,803 --> 00:56:31,972
- Small Beaver?
- Yeah, the Little Beaver restaurant.
1272
00:56:32,056 --> 00:56:33,516
We can't talk about anything more now.
1273
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:35,559
{\an8}There's paparazzi showing up at the house.
We got to go.
1274
00:56:35,643 --> 00:56:37,436
- Is he still behind us?
- Yeah.
1275
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,563
If we could ask you
to stop following us now.
1276
00:56:39,647 --> 00:56:40,481
Yeah, sure.
1277
00:56:40,564 --> 00:56:42,608
Can't you just leave us alone?
1278
00:56:42,691 --> 00:56:44,735
Leave us be! You're scaring my mother!
1279
00:56:44,819 --> 00:56:46,487
You're scaring my mother!
1280
00:56:46,570 --> 00:56:51,408
Such a play into how
the news media is just so desperate
1281
00:56:51,492 --> 00:56:52,743
and looking for a story.
1282
00:56:52,827 --> 00:56:55,704
And Tom screwed around with them
so much on that.
1283
00:56:55,788 --> 00:56:57,706
Monica Lewinsky is making headlines
1284
00:56:57,790 --> 00:57:00,209
with a surprise appearance
north of the border.
1285
00:57:00,292 --> 00:57:03,087
{\an8}Welcome, Monica Lewinsky.
1286
00:57:04,338 --> 00:57:05,965
Monica Lewinsky.
1287
00:57:06,799 --> 00:57:08,467
We love you, Monica!
1288
00:57:10,594 --> 00:57:13,931
{\an8}There's a way to be a good person
and still be goofy,
1289
00:57:14,014 --> 00:57:16,016
and Tom Green's that guy.
1290
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:17,351
Whoo!
1291
00:57:17,434 --> 00:57:19,061
Osteoporosis rules!
1292
00:57:19,145 --> 00:57:20,104
{\an8}I-27.
1293
00:57:20,980 --> 00:57:22,106
Whoa!
1294
00:57:24,608 --> 00:57:25,734
Crotch!
1295
00:57:27,987 --> 00:57:28,988
Ball! Some sex.
1296
00:57:29,071 --> 00:57:30,030
Joshua!
1297
00:57:33,659 --> 00:57:34,869
Thank you.
1298
00:57:36,912 --> 00:57:37,997
Oh!
1299
00:57:47,047 --> 00:57:48,841
- Oh, my...
- Oh, wow.
1300
00:57:51,427 --> 00:57:54,763
- What are the odds on that happening?
- That is embarrassing.
1301
00:57:54,847 --> 00:57:56,348
Oh, wow.
1302
00:57:57,266 --> 00:57:59,602
No, no, because I wanted
to talk to you, Conan,
1303
00:57:59,685 --> 00:58:01,854
about something
that's very important to me.
1304
00:58:01,937 --> 00:58:03,439
Uh-huh.
1305
00:58:03,522 --> 00:58:04,899
Camouflage.
1306
00:58:06,817 --> 00:58:07,818
- Really?
- Yeah.
1307
00:58:07,902 --> 00:58:10,863
Sometimes I think, you know,
I feel like maybe I should have
1308
00:58:10,946 --> 00:58:13,616
just showed up and just been
a normal human or something.
1309
00:58:21,916 --> 00:58:23,042
Yeah!
1310
00:58:25,711 --> 00:58:28,547
Conan did tell me that it was
one of his favorite appearances ever.
1311
00:58:28,631 --> 00:58:29,632
- It was hilarious.
- But sometimes,
1312
00:58:29,715 --> 00:58:31,008
I think when I'd go on the shows,
1313
00:58:31,091 --> 00:58:32,927
I would just try to go so crazy
1314
00:58:33,010 --> 00:58:36,180
because I was so desperate to make it work
1315
00:58:36,263 --> 00:58:39,058
because I was so terrified
that it wasn't gonna work...
1316
00:58:39,141 --> 00:58:41,435
- Right.
- ...that I would maybe overdo it.
1317
00:58:45,022 --> 00:58:46,649
You know, just...
1318
00:58:46,732 --> 00:58:49,985
I thought you guys would have laughed
at the bacon thing, now I'm embarrassed.
1319
00:58:50,069 --> 00:58:51,487
{\an8}- We did laugh.
I was thinking,
1320
00:58:51,570 --> 00:58:53,822
{\an8}I wanted to come out
and do something really wacky.
1321
00:58:53,906 --> 00:58:55,991
And I started doing wacky thing
with the bacon.
1322
00:58:56,075 --> 00:58:59,787
I'm realizing I'm sitting
between Ed Grimley and the Jerk.
1323
00:58:59,870 --> 00:59:01,622
- First of all, you have--
- What else is in the box?
1324
00:59:01,705 --> 00:59:05,000
- Yeah, maybe there's more stuff.
- I mean, the box was just the box.
1325
00:59:05,084 --> 00:59:07,253
I was gonna do a robot.
I was gonna, like...
1326
00:59:16,095 --> 00:59:17,638
Well, I'm glad you didn't do it.
1327
00:59:17,721 --> 00:59:18,847
Now listen...
1328
00:59:18,931 --> 00:59:20,474
{\an8}Please welcome Tom Green.
1329
00:59:20,557 --> 00:59:22,101
{\an8}
1330
00:59:23,602 --> 00:59:25,271
{\an8}Look at that.
1331
00:59:25,354 --> 00:59:26,897
{\an8}That's pretty good.
1332
00:59:30,651 --> 00:59:32,778
Lookit. All my cans on the ground.
1333
00:59:32,861 --> 00:59:36,240
MTV picking up The Tom Green Show
1334
00:59:36,323 --> 00:59:39,076
opened up an entire world
of possibilities for me.
1335
00:59:39,159 --> 00:59:41,370
Your dreams are happening,
but then all of a sudden,
1336
00:59:41,453 --> 00:59:44,540
you're getting pulled in all different
directions from MTV executives,
1337
00:59:44,623 --> 00:59:46,375
from movie studios,
1338
00:59:46,458 --> 00:59:48,252
from advertisers.
1339
00:59:49,837 --> 00:59:52,172
I have to say, Starfish,
that I am honored...
1340
00:59:52,256 --> 00:59:54,967
It was around that time
I got a call from Drew Barrymore.
1341
00:59:55,050 --> 00:59:57,177
Starfish, where are you going?
1342
00:59:57,261 --> 00:59:59,430
At the time, I was somewhat amazed
1343
00:59:59,513 --> 01:00:02,224
that Drew Barrymore would reach out to me
because she was a fan
1344
01:00:02,308 --> 01:00:05,602
of The Tom Green Show,
and the Chad was born.
1345
01:00:05,686 --> 01:00:06,979
Chad.
1346
01:00:07,062 --> 01:00:10,524
I remember after working together
on the set of Charlie's Angels,
1347
01:00:10,607 --> 01:00:14,320
I asked her if she'd like to go out
for a bite to eat after work.
1348
01:00:14,403 --> 01:00:15,612
And we did.
1349
01:00:15,696 --> 01:00:17,740
I have to go now.
1350
01:00:17,823 --> 01:00:22,453
We kind of sort of hit it off
right away, pretty much.
1351
01:00:22,536 --> 01:00:24,288
We had a lot of laughs together.
1352
01:00:25,831 --> 01:00:28,083
We met on Charlie's Angels, actually.
1353
01:00:28,167 --> 01:00:29,960
She asked me to be in that movie,
and then we met.
1354
01:00:32,379 --> 01:00:34,131
It's going to the next level.
1355
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:36,550
Oh, God.
1356
01:00:36,633 --> 01:00:37,926
Playing a little guitar over here.
1357
01:00:38,010 --> 01:00:40,179
Oh, no, Glenn, don't say that!
1358
01:00:40,262 --> 01:00:42,723
I thought you were my confidante.
1359
01:00:42,806 --> 01:00:43,766
Like...
1360
01:00:50,397 --> 01:00:53,233
♪ My bum is on the cheese
Bum is on the cheese ♪
1361
01:00:53,317 --> 01:00:55,861
♪ If I get lucky, I'll get a disease ♪
1362
01:00:57,279 --> 01:00:59,865
Well, um, I got lucky.
1363
01:00:59,948 --> 01:01:01,867
I got a disease, right?
1364
01:01:01,950 --> 01:01:03,202
Cancer, right?
1365
01:01:03,285 --> 01:01:06,455
- Testicular cancer, right?
- Yep.
1366
01:01:06,538 --> 01:01:08,332
And that's what today's show is all about.
1367
01:01:08,415 --> 01:01:11,001
It's a pretty delicate thing
to talk about, you know?
1368
01:01:12,419 --> 01:01:13,337
Yeah.
1369
01:01:18,801 --> 01:01:21,929
{\an8}We did our final episode
of The Tom Green Show for MTV,
1370
01:01:22,012 --> 01:01:26,350
{\an8}documenting my battle with cancer.
1371
01:01:27,101 --> 01:01:29,436
And you guys flew down to Los Angeles.
1372
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,815
Then the doctor came to me
after looking at my testicle
1373
01:01:32,898 --> 01:01:36,360
and he said that the cancer
might have spread to my lymph nodes,
1374
01:01:36,443 --> 01:01:39,279
and I'd have to go in
for a second major surgery,
1375
01:01:39,363 --> 01:01:42,866
where they cut me wide open and took
my intestines and lymph nodes out.
1376
01:01:42,950 --> 01:01:45,953
When he told me
that he wanted to do a show about it,
1377
01:01:46,036 --> 01:01:47,913
I was like... At first, I didn't get it.
1378
01:01:47,996 --> 01:01:49,873
I was like, "Why would you
want to do that?"
1379
01:01:49,957 --> 01:01:52,251
That's the scar
where my testicle was removed.
1380
01:01:52,334 --> 01:01:53,752
It was pulled out of my body right there.
1381
01:01:53,836 --> 01:01:59,925
What did you think about the decision
to film my cancer and air it?
1382
01:02:00,008 --> 01:02:02,845
Well, at first I didn't want you to
because I thought,
1383
01:02:02,928 --> 01:02:07,224
gosh, you know, this is gonna be
not a pleasant experience for you.
1384
01:02:07,307 --> 01:02:10,144
And did you really want a bunch of cameras
and people around
1385
01:02:10,227 --> 01:02:12,271
when you're going through
something like this?
1386
01:02:12,354 --> 01:02:15,232
Back then, I had two testicles
at that time.
1387
01:02:15,315 --> 01:02:16,942
- Mm-hmm.
- And, uh...
1388
01:02:20,612 --> 01:02:21,780
...now I have one.
1389
01:02:21,864 --> 01:02:24,450
It's kind of gone to the middle,
and it's the middle one now, I call it.
1390
01:02:24,533 --> 01:02:26,452
I call it the middle one, but, uh...
1391
01:02:26,535 --> 01:02:29,746
I thought I was gonna die
because I just figured if I was so unlucky
1392
01:02:29,830 --> 01:02:33,292
to get testicular cancer
at that moment in time,
1393
01:02:33,375 --> 01:02:34,751
when everything was going so well...
1394
01:02:34,835 --> 01:02:36,837
Mm-hm.
...that I figured I'm obviously...
1395
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,714
Obviously, I'm gonna die too.
1396
01:02:38,797 --> 01:02:40,340
The odds are against you, eh?
1397
01:02:40,424 --> 01:02:43,260
{\an8}- You want to wear suspenders?
Probably a belt.
1398
01:02:43,343 --> 01:02:45,554
- It's a good-looking suit, though, right?
- It's a beautiful suit.
1399
01:02:45,637 --> 01:02:47,055
Let's got a nice picture of it.
1400
01:02:47,139 --> 01:02:49,808
A nice last picture of me alive
with my mother in a nice suit.
1401
01:02:49,892 --> 01:02:51,935
- Tom, you're going to live.
- What's that?
1402
01:02:52,603 --> 01:02:55,814
I felt it was easier
to deal with the cancer diagnosis
1403
01:02:55,898 --> 01:02:57,566
by sort of making a joke out of it.
1404
01:02:57,649 --> 01:02:59,776
Yes, you did. And I didn't like that.
1405
01:02:59,860 --> 01:03:01,862
- Mm-hmm.
- Because I didn't find it funny.
1406
01:03:01,945 --> 01:03:03,197
- Hi there.
- Hi.
1407
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:04,573
I have cancer.
1408
01:03:05,824 --> 01:03:07,117
I'm sorry.
1409
01:03:07,201 --> 01:03:08,994
{\an8}We're having a big celebration tonight.
1410
01:03:09,077 --> 01:03:11,121
{\an8}- Yeah.
To celebrate the cancer
1411
01:03:11,205 --> 01:03:13,332
that I found out
that I have five days ago.
1412
01:03:13,415 --> 01:03:16,251
- What kind?
- Uh, testicular, actually.
1413
01:03:16,335 --> 01:03:20,839
I had one of my balls removed
four days...
1414
01:03:20,923 --> 01:03:25,219
And, uh, they think they got most of it,
although it spread to the lymph nodes.
1415
01:03:25,302 --> 01:03:27,471
So I'm gonna be having an operation
1416
01:03:27,554 --> 01:03:31,183
where they're gonna remove my lymph nodes,
and hopefully I'm not gonna die.
1417
01:03:32,476 --> 01:03:34,978
Do you want to see the wine list?
1418
01:03:35,062 --> 01:03:37,940
Absolutely, we want to see the wine list.
1419
01:03:38,023 --> 01:03:39,316
- Thanks, Mom.
- See you later.
1420
01:03:39,399 --> 01:03:40,651
See you in an hour or so.
1421
01:03:41,401 --> 01:03:42,694
- Thanks.
- Okay.
1422
01:03:43,237 --> 01:03:44,446
Take care. Good luck.
1423
01:03:46,490 --> 01:03:49,868
We now can bring the intestines
out of the abdomen.
1424
01:03:55,624 --> 01:03:58,585
- That's my body.
- Yeah. That was it.
1425
01:03:58,669 --> 01:04:01,338
I was kind of hoping
it would have been funnier inside my body.
1426
01:04:01,421 --> 01:04:02,381
Look what he did.
1427
01:04:02,464 --> 01:04:06,343
I mean, he taped a special for MTV
1428
01:04:06,426 --> 01:04:09,888
that nobody would have ever thought
about doing back then,
1429
01:04:09,972 --> 01:04:13,517
and made his whole audience
and many and millions of more people
1430
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,187
aware of what this was--
Of what this was all about.
1431
01:04:17,271 --> 01:04:21,108
It looks like the lymph nodes appear
to be all negative as far as we can tell.
1432
01:04:21,191 --> 01:04:23,777
Nothing grossly was involved,
and we were able to save the nerves.
1433
01:04:23,860 --> 01:04:27,573
I guess he was really worried
about being able to ejaculate properly.
1434
01:04:27,656 --> 01:04:29,157
I think that should be no problem.
1435
01:04:29,241 --> 01:04:32,536
It wasn't Tom thinking,
"Hey, I'm gonna save a lot of lives."
1436
01:04:32,619 --> 01:04:34,288
It was Tom being Tom.
1437
01:04:34,371 --> 01:04:36,290
Just Tom being very innovative,
1438
01:04:36,373 --> 01:04:40,544
wanting to share his life
with his audience.
1439
01:04:40,627 --> 01:04:43,463
I guess what we're looking at right here,
Tom's testicle.
1440
01:04:43,547 --> 01:04:44,881
Cancerous tumor.
1441
01:04:44,965 --> 01:04:46,925
- You were playing with my testicle?
- Yeah.
1442
01:04:47,009 --> 01:04:48,302
The doctor let me play with it.
1443
01:04:48,385 --> 01:04:52,264
Remember the old days
when you used to play with my testicles?
1444
01:04:53,974 --> 01:04:55,559
Well, seems to be okay.
1445
01:04:55,642 --> 01:04:59,521
He got television and gets television
1446
01:04:59,605 --> 01:05:03,191
more than any comedian
that I can think of
1447
01:05:03,275 --> 01:05:04,443
off the top of my head.
1448
01:05:04,526 --> 01:05:06,653
That's really when my life really changed,
1449
01:05:06,737 --> 01:05:09,615
because there was a lot of extreme pain,
a long recovery.
1450
01:05:09,698 --> 01:05:12,534
It really did affect my mental health.
1451
01:05:12,618 --> 01:05:15,454
It was terrifying
to have to battle cancer,
1452
01:05:15,537 --> 01:05:18,415
especially at this time
when everything was going so well.
1453
01:05:18,498 --> 01:05:20,917
You know, your life flashing
before your eyes.
1454
01:05:21,001 --> 01:05:23,420
Your entire life.
1455
01:05:23,503 --> 01:05:25,047
I've been working on this show.
1456
01:05:25,130 --> 01:05:27,633
Finally, I'd made it to the mountaintop.
1457
01:05:27,716 --> 01:05:30,594
And, just kidding!
Let's pull the rug out from under you.
1458
01:05:30,677 --> 01:05:32,596
And it felt very unfair.
1459
01:05:32,679 --> 01:05:35,766
{\an8}I prayed to God
that they would let me survive.
1460
01:05:36,266 --> 01:05:40,312
{\an8}And, uh, I guess they heard me,
because here I am.
1461
01:05:40,395 --> 01:05:43,106
{\an8}♪ Hey, kids, feel your balls ♪
1462
01:05:43,190 --> 01:05:46,026
{\an8}Cancer is no longer something
I think about every day,
1463
01:05:46,109 --> 01:05:49,154
{\an8}but in recent interviews,
I've had the chance to
1464
01:05:49,237 --> 01:05:53,200
{\an8}reflect on the profound impact
that it's had on my life.
1465
01:05:53,283 --> 01:05:57,537
It did change my perspective on work.
1466
01:05:57,621 --> 01:06:01,875
You remember the line where,
you know, seconds earlier,
1467
01:06:01,958 --> 01:06:06,213
the most important thing to you
was the show and how are we gonna,
1468
01:06:06,296 --> 01:06:10,258
you know, get the ratings up,
or how are we gonna get this movie going,
1469
01:06:10,342 --> 01:06:13,053
or all these things
that seem so, so important.
1470
01:06:13,136 --> 01:06:16,598
And then immediately,
that just all goes silent.
1471
01:06:16,682 --> 01:06:19,434
But then, Tom, you used it for good
1472
01:06:19,518 --> 01:06:22,396
and you went down
to what university in Florida?
1473
01:06:22,479 --> 01:06:25,816
- Yeah. University of Florida.
- And...
1474
01:06:25,899 --> 01:06:27,651
In Gainesville. Go, Gators.
1475
01:06:27,734 --> 01:06:29,111
- You filmed that.
- Mm-hmm.
1476
01:06:29,653 --> 01:06:31,530
19,000 people came out.
1477
01:06:34,032 --> 01:06:35,826
I just had cancer.
1478
01:06:35,909 --> 01:06:38,370
Cancer, cancer.
1479
01:06:38,453 --> 01:06:40,997
Testicular cancer.
I had a ball removed.
1480
01:06:41,081 --> 01:06:42,541
I had one of my nuts removed.
1481
01:06:42,624 --> 01:06:44,459
Yeah, that's right.
1482
01:06:44,543 --> 01:06:46,336
Yeah.
1483
01:06:46,420 --> 01:06:47,713
You support Tom Green's nuts.
1484
01:06:47,796 --> 01:06:50,841
Good for you, yeah,
it's a nice thing that it turned out well
1485
01:06:50,924 --> 01:06:52,843
and a nice that you called
attention to this.
1486
01:06:52,926 --> 01:06:55,303
How many people have told you
1487
01:06:55,387 --> 01:06:57,264
- that you saved their life?
- Hundreds.
1488
01:06:57,347 --> 01:07:00,559
Even though the trauma of cancer
had not subsided,
1489
01:07:00,642 --> 01:07:03,437
I put my game face on, and as planned,
1490
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,106
accompanied Drew to the Academy Awards.
1491
01:07:06,189 --> 01:07:08,483
The red carpet's
most courageous appearance
1492
01:07:08,567 --> 01:07:11,403
undoubtedly belonged
to MTV comic Tom Green,
1493
01:07:11,486 --> 01:07:14,114
who joined girlfriend
Drew Barrymore at the Oscars
1494
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:18,410
just five days after surgery
in his fight against cancer.
1495
01:07:18,493 --> 01:07:20,245
It feels a little weird for me.
1496
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:25,417
It makes me feel a little sad, actually,
just thinking how much time has passed,
1497
01:07:25,500 --> 01:07:28,170
you know, and how long ago that was.
1498
01:07:28,253 --> 01:07:30,922
And after I got sick, okay,
1499
01:07:31,006 --> 01:07:33,967
I was physically drained.
1500
01:07:34,050 --> 01:07:36,219
Energy-wise, drained.
1501
01:07:36,303 --> 01:07:37,596
Not just--
1502
01:07:37,679 --> 01:07:40,098
Not just emotionally drained,
but physically drained.
1503
01:07:40,724 --> 01:07:42,768
The show had gone off the air.
1504
01:07:42,851 --> 01:07:49,191
There was now sometimes
negative media coverage of me,
1505
01:07:49,274 --> 01:07:52,152
which was, I found
emotionally difficult to deal with.
1506
01:07:52,235 --> 01:07:54,654
And I...
1507
01:07:55,530 --> 01:07:58,033
became a different person
1508
01:07:58,116 --> 01:08:00,952
than the person that I'm looking at there.
1509
01:08:01,036 --> 01:08:04,372
And I look at that person and I go...
1510
01:08:10,504 --> 01:08:13,632
I remember being that guy, you know?
1511
01:08:53,213 --> 01:08:55,215
- I had to quit the show.
- I know you did.
1512
01:08:55,298 --> 01:08:57,384
And then all those people lost their jobs.
1513
01:08:57,467 --> 01:08:59,678
Sometimes people think
the show got canceled.
1514
01:08:59,761 --> 01:09:03,098
I know, well, people think
whatever they want, even if they know.
1515
01:09:03,181 --> 01:09:06,434
- The show didn't get canceled.
- No, I know it didn't get canceled.
1516
01:09:06,518 --> 01:09:08,687
Taking time off while recovering
1517
01:09:08,770 --> 01:09:11,857
meant MTV no longer
had its top comedy series.
1518
01:09:11,940 --> 01:09:14,484
So they picked up a new show,
called Jackass.
1519
01:09:18,488 --> 01:09:22,784
Never forget, there would be no Jackass
if there was no Tom Green.
1520
01:09:22,868 --> 01:09:24,828
Don't fucking forget that. Nobody.
1521
01:09:24,911 --> 01:09:29,207
{\an8}I actually sat at my VCR,
1522
01:09:29,291 --> 01:09:32,502
{\an8}um, recording Tom's shows.
1523
01:09:32,586 --> 01:09:34,504
And when the commercial break
would come on,
1524
01:09:34,588 --> 01:09:36,840
I would hit pause and I'd wait there.
1525
01:09:36,923 --> 01:09:39,885
And then when the show came back on,
I would unpause it
1526
01:09:39,968 --> 01:09:43,763
so as to record the complete
Tom Green season
1527
01:09:43,847 --> 01:09:45,223
without commercials.
1528
01:09:45,307 --> 01:09:48,685
But he did the old-man skit
before Jackass did.
1529
01:09:48,768 --> 01:09:50,937
Nobody lets an old man shop anymore.
1530
01:09:56,318 --> 01:09:57,611
Get up and get out.
1531
01:09:57,694 --> 01:09:59,029
I just want to do my groceries.
1532
01:09:59,112 --> 01:10:00,322
Help me!
1533
01:10:00,405 --> 01:10:02,574
He did a lot of stuff before Jackass did.
1534
01:10:02,657 --> 01:10:05,243
And then
Todd Phillips' Road Trip came out,
1535
01:10:05,327 --> 01:10:07,370
and my life changed in other ways.
1536
01:10:07,454 --> 01:10:08,788
Can I feed Mitch?
1537
01:10:08,872 --> 01:10:11,249
Yes, actually, you can. You can feed him.
But not till tomorrow.
1538
01:10:11,333 --> 01:10:13,251
There's a brown box full of mice
next to his cage.
1539
01:10:13,335 --> 01:10:14,336
Give him one tomorrow.
1540
01:10:14,419 --> 01:10:16,713
Somebody's gonna die tomorrow.
1541
01:10:16,796 --> 01:10:18,089
That's right.
1542
01:10:18,173 --> 01:10:20,008
One of you is marked for death.
1543
01:10:21,551 --> 01:10:23,553
And first thing tomorrow morning,
1544
01:10:23,637 --> 01:10:27,599
the chosen one
will experience nature's wrath.
1545
01:10:27,682 --> 01:10:30,352
The movie Road Trip was a massive success,
1546
01:10:30,435 --> 01:10:33,897
grossing $118 million worldwide.
1547
01:10:33,980 --> 01:10:35,106
I didn't lie.
1548
01:10:35,190 --> 01:10:38,818
Every major studio
was sending me scripts
1549
01:10:38,902 --> 01:10:41,112
and offering me lucrative movie deals.
1550
01:10:41,696 --> 01:10:42,948
I signed on to several films,
1551
01:10:43,031 --> 01:10:46,576
and my agents negotiated for more money
than I'd ever imagined.
1552
01:10:46,660 --> 01:10:49,162
I'm not the one who needs the money.
Why should I assume the risk?
1553
01:10:49,245 --> 01:10:50,789
While reading all these scripts,
1554
01:10:50,872 --> 01:10:52,999
we got the idea of writing our own comedy.
1555
01:10:53,083 --> 01:10:55,877
The comedy went on
to confuse a lot of people.
1556
01:10:55,961 --> 01:10:58,004
but looking back on it now,
1557
01:10:58,088 --> 01:11:00,507
I wouldn't have changed a thing.
1558
01:11:00,590 --> 01:11:02,634
Freddy Got Fingered, by the way,
is out a week from today.
1559
01:11:02,717 --> 01:11:04,469
{\an8}- Not only do you act in it...
- Freddy Got Fingered.
1560
01:11:04,552 --> 01:11:07,097
{\an8}And you co-wrote it, you directed it.
Where do we get the title?
1561
01:11:07,180 --> 01:11:08,515
Freddy Got Fingered?
1562
01:11:08,598 --> 01:11:11,935
Uh, it kind of gives away
the ending a little bit.
1563
01:11:12,018 --> 01:11:14,229
- I'd rather not say here.
- Then let's not talk about it.
1564
01:11:14,312 --> 01:11:15,855
♪ Daddy, would you like some sausage? ♪
1565
01:11:15,939 --> 01:11:18,817
Tom came in and he said,
"I want to direct this."
1566
01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:20,986
Tom was very persuasive.
1567
01:11:21,069 --> 01:11:23,071
{\an8}We said, "You know what, Tom?"
1568
01:11:23,154 --> 01:11:25,240
{\an8}"We're gonna send you over to New Regency
1569
01:11:25,323 --> 01:11:28,994
{\an8}and let you have the conversation
with Sanford and the guys over there."
1570
01:11:29,077 --> 01:11:30,286
Oh, we're having roast beef?
1571
01:11:31,496 --> 01:11:34,082
- I'm eating a chicken sandwich.
- No, you're not.
1572
01:11:34,165 --> 01:11:36,126
Holy shit, this is crazy.
I'm a 28-year-old man.
1573
01:11:36,209 --> 01:11:38,461
I should be able to eat
a chicken sandwich if I want.
1574
01:11:38,545 --> 01:11:40,296
Tom went and met them,
1575
01:11:40,380 --> 01:11:45,051
and we got the call at the end of the day
that they agreed to let Tom direct it.
1576
01:11:45,135 --> 01:11:47,971
I'm really excited about the movie,
Freddy Got Fingered.
1577
01:11:48,054 --> 01:11:50,098
You wrote and directed the film?
1578
01:11:50,181 --> 01:11:52,142
And you know how to do that stuff?
1579
01:11:52,225 --> 01:11:54,394
You know... kinda.
1580
01:11:54,477 --> 01:11:57,439
You know,
I go back to the same thing as Tom,
1581
01:11:57,522 --> 01:11:59,441
always goes into things with a vision.
1582
01:11:59,524 --> 01:12:04,863
And even if we get a little sidetracked,
or the producers get a little sidetracked,
1583
01:12:04,946 --> 01:12:07,741
he's kind of the one
that kinda pulled you back in
1584
01:12:07,824 --> 01:12:09,743
because he's got a vision.
1585
01:12:11,327 --> 01:12:13,204
I wasn't expecting that to happen.
1586
01:12:13,288 --> 01:12:14,914
♪ The backwards man
The backwards man ♪
1587
01:12:14,998 --> 01:12:16,791
♪ I can walk backwards
as fast as you can ♪
1588
01:12:16,875 --> 01:12:18,543
♪ The backwards man
The backwards man ♪
1589
01:12:18,626 --> 01:12:20,754
That's mainly what it is.
I want to surprise people.
1590
01:12:20,837 --> 01:12:23,131
I want people to sit down
and not know what to expect.
1591
01:12:24,591 --> 01:12:28,803
I wanted to do my own stunt in the movie,
paying homage to Buster Keaton's stunt
1592
01:12:28,887 --> 01:12:30,597
in Steamboat Bill, Jr.
1593
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,850
The studio definitely did not
want me to do it.
1594
01:12:36,186 --> 01:12:39,105
{\an8}The studio said absolutely not.
Insurance said absolutely not.
1595
01:12:39,189 --> 01:12:41,316
Tom insisted that he do his own stunt.
1596
01:12:41,399 --> 01:12:43,193
I think ultimately,
it was the right way to go.
1597
01:12:43,276 --> 01:12:45,779
{\an8}Studio, producers,
they all have to make that final decision.
1598
01:12:45,862 --> 01:12:48,073
{\an8}- They'll ask my opinion--
But we're not gonna ask them.
1599
01:12:48,156 --> 01:12:49,574
{\an8}You know they're all
gonna be down here.
1600
01:12:49,657 --> 01:12:51,910
{\an8}- I don't want him to do it.
Everybody else does.
1601
01:12:51,993 --> 01:12:53,745
Three, two, one!
1602
01:13:01,836 --> 01:13:02,962
{\an8}That's a rush, man.
1603
01:13:13,223 --> 01:13:15,058
I was hosting Saturday Night Live
1604
01:13:15,141 --> 01:13:17,560
still recovering from cancer surgeries
1605
01:13:17,644 --> 01:13:20,396
and in unbearable physical pain.
1606
01:13:20,480 --> 01:13:25,360
The pain burned up and down my legs
and through my spine all day,
1607
01:13:25,443 --> 01:13:26,861
every day.
1608
01:13:26,945 --> 01:13:28,571
The pain was a secret.
1609
01:13:29,531 --> 01:13:31,741
This was the moment
I'd worked so hard for.
1610
01:13:31,825 --> 01:13:33,701
There was no time to rest.
1611
01:13:33,785 --> 01:13:36,788
It's Saturday Night Live.
1612
01:13:36,871 --> 01:13:39,791
When I hosted Saturday Night Live,
obviously I was completely, like...
1613
01:13:39,874 --> 01:13:42,752
I couldn't even believe that I was hosting
Saturday Night Live.
1614
01:13:42,836 --> 01:13:44,546
You were on Saturday Night Live.
1615
01:13:44,629 --> 01:13:47,465
- That's true.
- That was a lot of fun, actually.
1616
01:13:47,549 --> 01:13:51,886
I want to say hello
to my fiancée here, Drew.
1617
01:13:53,805 --> 01:13:56,808
Despite being in a lot of pain
from my cancer surgery,
1618
01:13:56,891 --> 01:13:58,351
we still had a crazy show.
1619
01:13:58,434 --> 01:14:00,103
We did a fake wedding with Drew.
1620
01:14:00,186 --> 01:14:03,731
It was one of the wild
and crazy episodes of the year.
1621
01:14:03,815 --> 01:14:06,568
And I was thinking that instead
of doing it in the summer,
1622
01:14:06,651 --> 01:14:08,069
we get married here tonight.
1623
01:14:08,153 --> 01:14:10,238
Tom, we shoulda talked about this.
1624
01:14:10,321 --> 01:14:11,614
Don't say no.
1625
01:14:11,698 --> 01:14:13,825
Don't say no.
I got the cake. I got the arch.
1626
01:14:15,410 --> 01:14:18,413
You said you would marry me,
and I thought it'd be fun to do it on TV.
1627
01:14:18,496 --> 01:14:20,915
And you said you would support me
when you said--
1628
01:14:20,999 --> 01:14:22,709
And you call this support?
1629
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:26,171
Embarrassing me
in front of all these people?
1630
01:14:26,254 --> 01:14:27,797
In front of America?
1631
01:14:28,631 --> 01:14:30,633
This is public humiliation!
1632
01:14:31,426 --> 01:14:34,220
- All right.
- You're making me look like a buffoon!
1633
01:14:35,138 --> 01:14:37,307
- A buffoon!
- Okay, okay, okay.
1634
01:14:37,390 --> 01:14:41,144
Okay, I'll marry you right here on TV.
1635
01:14:42,562 --> 01:14:45,148
- I think he's got a vision.
- Yeah, exactly.
1636
01:14:45,231 --> 01:14:49,319
Nobody teaches you how to act
when your dreams come true.
1637
01:14:49,402 --> 01:14:53,198
But the world changes overnight
and so do the rules.
1638
01:14:58,536 --> 01:15:01,497
After our make-believe wedding
on Saturday Night Live,
1639
01:15:01,581 --> 01:15:03,208
Drew and I got married for real.
1640
01:15:03,750 --> 01:15:06,586
I was happy to be married,
but things were not going well.
1641
01:15:06,669 --> 01:15:09,756
Both Drew and I were going through
a lot of our own individual stresses
1642
01:15:09,839 --> 01:15:11,007
in our careers,
1643
01:15:11,090 --> 01:15:13,635
and with the cancer
and the media scrutiny,
1644
01:15:13,718 --> 01:15:15,762
it may have just been too much to bear.
1645
01:15:16,721 --> 01:15:19,641
It took its toll, but I survived.
1646
01:15:19,724 --> 01:15:21,392
Our marriage did not.
1647
01:15:24,604 --> 01:15:28,066
{\an8}
What is the most disgusting film of 2001?
1648
01:15:28,149 --> 01:15:30,777
The champion is Freddy Got Fingered
with Tom Green.
1649
01:15:30,860 --> 01:15:33,321
It's a vomitorium of a movie,
1650
01:15:33,404 --> 01:15:34,572
starring Green as Gord,
1651
01:15:34,656 --> 01:15:37,283
who makes it his life's work
to freak out his dad,
1652
01:15:37,367 --> 01:15:40,578
played with teeth-gnashing scorn
by Rip Torn.
1653
01:15:40,662 --> 01:15:44,165
{\an8}The reaction to Freddy Got Fingered
was swift and brutal.
1654
01:15:44,249 --> 01:15:46,709
I was shocked at how mean
these critics could be.
1655
01:15:46,793 --> 01:15:48,628
It was hurtful and devastating.
1656
01:15:48,711 --> 01:15:52,298
They took aim not just at the movie,
but at me.
1657
01:15:52,382 --> 01:15:53,633
Why?
1658
01:15:53,716 --> 01:15:55,551
I was just a kid in his 20s
1659
01:15:55,635 --> 01:15:59,264
who was trying to make
a goofy and strange movie.
1660
01:15:59,347 --> 01:16:01,349
Somehow, it felt personal.
1661
01:16:01,432 --> 01:16:05,144
There's such a formula
to making comedy movies in Hollywood
1662
01:16:05,228 --> 01:16:10,066
that people have become used to watching
a certain format of comedy movie.
1663
01:16:10,149 --> 01:16:14,195
And if you do something that's not that,
it rubs them the wrong way.
1664
01:16:14,279 --> 01:16:17,323
Favorite Tom Green moment?
Obviously all of Freddy Got Fingered.
1665
01:16:17,407 --> 01:16:19,284
My favorite movie in the world
is Freddy Got Fingered.
1666
01:16:19,367 --> 01:16:22,328
- ♪ Daddy, would you like some sausages? ♪
- ♪ Backwards man, the backwards man ♪
1667
01:16:22,412 --> 01:16:24,247
♪ I can move back as fast as you can ♪
1668
01:16:24,330 --> 01:16:26,874
I saw Freddy Got Fingered
and fell in love.
1669
01:16:26,958 --> 01:16:30,086
Man, I love him. He's fucking crazy.
And it is...
1670
01:16:30,169 --> 01:16:33,047
It was like he was doing shit
that people are doing now,
1671
01:16:33,131 --> 01:16:36,092
like full blast on YouTube,
and I fucking love that, how he's like...
1672
01:16:36,175 --> 01:16:37,510
I think he's ahead of his time.
1673
01:16:37,593 --> 01:16:41,597
A big part of the reason why the movie
got reviewed badly was, A, it's shocking.
1674
01:16:43,057 --> 01:16:44,600
Cut the cord.
1675
01:16:44,684 --> 01:16:49,397
But also,
I was very overexposed at the time.
1676
01:16:50,148 --> 01:16:51,691
You know, I just had cancer.
1677
01:16:52,483 --> 01:16:54,861
You know, I was all over the media.
1678
01:16:55,737 --> 01:17:02,118
And rather than putting out a nice, easy,
accessible film that mainstream people
1679
01:17:02,201 --> 01:17:03,911
would be able to process,
1680
01:17:03,995 --> 01:17:08,666
you put out this button-pushing,
polarizing movie.
1681
01:17:08,750 --> 01:17:11,002
My daughter and her two friends,
it's their favorite movie.
1682
01:17:11,085 --> 01:17:14,422
Being a guest on Howard Stern
was always stressful
1683
01:17:14,505 --> 01:17:16,424
because you never know
how he's gonna come at you.
1684
01:17:16,507 --> 01:17:18,801
Let's just say
it was a difficult conversation,
1685
01:17:18,885 --> 01:17:21,387
having to navigate through, uh,
1686
01:17:21,471 --> 01:17:23,765
a lot of intense questioning
from him and Robin
1687
01:17:23,848 --> 01:17:25,892
without looking like I was too upset
1688
01:17:25,975 --> 01:17:28,144
about what had happened
with Freddy Got Fingered.
1689
01:17:28,227 --> 01:17:30,146
{\an8}When your movie bombed...
1690
01:17:30,229 --> 01:17:32,357
{\an8}- It really bombed too.
And I'm sure that--
1691
01:17:32,440 --> 01:17:35,151
It was like a Scud missile
gone the wrong way.
1692
01:17:35,234 --> 01:17:36,486
I thought it was funny.
1693
01:17:36,569 --> 01:17:37,987
Yeah, no, it was a disaster.
1694
01:17:38,071 --> 01:17:40,990
Eight Raspberry nominations.
I won five.
1695
01:17:41,074 --> 01:17:44,202
- And everybody gets a Raspberry Award.
- It's interesting, sure.
1696
01:17:44,285 --> 01:17:46,662
It doesn't mean
you have to bring it up, though.
1697
01:17:46,746 --> 01:17:50,583
I was the first actor, "actor"
1698
01:17:50,666 --> 01:17:54,128
in the history of Hollywood, "Hollywood,"
to accept a Raspberry.
1699
01:17:54,212 --> 01:17:55,880
I accepted all five. I went down.
1700
01:17:55,963 --> 01:17:58,341
- Sylvester Stallone never gets his.
- I brought my own red carpet.
1701
01:17:58,424 --> 01:18:00,093
They must have been thrilled.
1702
01:18:00,176 --> 01:18:01,219
They were very happy.
1703
01:18:01,302 --> 01:18:04,222
Why did you decide to show up?
You're the first star to ever show up.
1704
01:18:04,305 --> 01:18:06,641
Well, this is an exciting day for me,
you know?
1705
01:18:06,724 --> 01:18:09,602
I, uh, I made a great movie, you know.
1706
01:18:09,685 --> 01:18:12,397
And I set out to make a crazy movie,
and here I am.
1707
01:18:12,480 --> 01:18:14,857
I'm getting a lot of attention for it,
and it's exciting.
1708
01:18:14,941 --> 01:18:17,151
I'm getting acclaim
that I'm overwhelmed by.
1709
01:18:17,235 --> 01:18:19,112
You know, when I made this movie,
1710
01:18:19,195 --> 01:18:21,739
I didn't think
that I was gonna get this much,
1711
01:18:21,823 --> 01:18:24,867
um, you know, praise and adulation.
1712
01:18:24,951 --> 01:18:27,036
For a guy like me who, you know,
1713
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:30,123
was living in my parents' basement
just about four years ago.
1714
01:18:30,206 --> 01:18:32,708
And now to be up against
all these big movie stars
1715
01:18:32,792 --> 01:18:35,545
and things like that
at a real awards show,
1716
01:18:35,628 --> 01:18:38,506
this is certainly very overwhelming.
1717
01:18:44,762 --> 01:18:46,556
The New York Times
did give it a good review.
1718
01:18:46,639 --> 01:18:49,058
{\an8}I saw it
and thought it was really interesting.
1719
01:18:49,142 --> 01:18:51,436
{\an8}I thought that it was
conceptually interesting,
1720
01:18:51,519 --> 01:18:54,814
{\an8}and I thought it wasn't
just gross-out humor, in a way,
1721
01:18:54,897 --> 01:18:58,776
but that there was a kind of rigor
and inventiveness
1722
01:18:58,860 --> 01:19:02,029
and ingenuity
to some of these comic set pieces.
1723
01:19:02,113 --> 01:19:04,407
And I said that I thought it was, um,
1724
01:19:04,490 --> 01:19:05,658
a work of art.
1725
01:19:06,701 --> 01:19:08,244
Are you serious?
1726
01:19:09,829 --> 01:19:12,081
Get out of the car, Glenn.
Get out of the car.
1727
01:19:12,165 --> 01:19:14,417
I swear to God, I'm gonna fucking cry.
1728
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:16,711
Yeah, I hope you're not razzing me.
1729
01:19:16,794 --> 01:19:19,714
Obviously, I should kill this shoot
and get back to the office.
1730
01:19:19,797 --> 01:19:22,341
Howard Lapides
is the best manager in the business.
1731
01:19:22,425 --> 01:19:23,843
No idea what's going on.
1732
01:19:23,926 --> 01:19:25,303
I'm hosting Letterman.
1733
01:19:25,887 --> 01:19:26,762
What?
1734
01:19:28,431 --> 01:19:29,307
When?
1735
01:19:29,390 --> 01:19:32,143
I'm getting on a plane today.
I'm hosting fucking Letterman.
1736
01:19:33,603 --> 01:19:35,688
Holy shit.
1737
01:19:35,771 --> 01:19:38,566
- The dream come true, man.
- Yeah, no, I'm seriously--
1738
01:19:38,649 --> 01:19:40,735
I'm embarrassed
because I'm, like, tearing up.
1739
01:19:40,818 --> 01:19:42,320
When am I doing it? Tomorrow?
1740
01:19:43,196 --> 01:19:44,906
I'm doing it tomorrow!
1741
01:19:44,989 --> 01:19:47,116
Great, so not only am I hosting Letterman,
1742
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:48,493
I'm bombing on Letterman.
1743
01:19:49,494 --> 01:19:51,746
Well, that's a good rehearsal.
Fuck this pit.
1744
01:19:51,829 --> 01:19:53,539
Get ready for my new show.
1745
01:19:53,623 --> 01:19:55,875
If it's as bad as this...
1746
01:19:55,958 --> 01:19:57,335
Well, tell them I'll do it.
1747
01:20:01,130 --> 01:20:03,299
- My fucking God.
- Yeah!
1748
01:20:03,382 --> 01:20:05,301
Oh, God.
1749
01:20:05,384 --> 01:20:06,802
From New York,
1750
01:20:06,886 --> 01:20:09,764
it's the Late Show with David Letterman.
1751
01:20:09,847 --> 01:20:12,517
Dave's guest host tonight is Tom Green.
1752
01:20:29,492 --> 01:20:30,493
Yeah.
1753
01:20:31,661 --> 01:20:32,828
Thank you.
1754
01:20:33,746 --> 01:20:34,997
Yeah.
1755
01:20:35,081 --> 01:20:37,750
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1756
01:20:38,376 --> 01:20:41,420
You're probably all looking
at your TV right now saying,
1757
01:20:41,504 --> 01:20:43,172
"How the hell did this happen?"
1758
01:20:44,715 --> 01:20:48,094
Uh, or maybe you're just saying, uh,
1759
01:20:48,177 --> 01:20:50,721
"Oh, I guess Dave's taking a vacation
1760
01:20:50,805 --> 01:20:53,766
along with everyone else
in the entertainment business."
1761
01:20:54,559 --> 01:20:55,560
Yeah.
1762
01:20:55,643 --> 01:20:56,811
Nice to see you.
1763
01:20:59,814 --> 01:21:01,482
Damien Rice.
Good night, everyone.
1764
01:21:01,566 --> 01:21:04,860
From beautiful midtown Burbank,
1765
01:21:04,944 --> 01:21:06,946
it's The New Tom Green Show.
1766
01:21:07,029 --> 01:21:10,783
And now, Tom Green!
1767
01:21:10,866 --> 01:21:12,660
I had to get back to work.
1768
01:21:12,743 --> 01:21:15,329
My agent at the time, John Ferriter,
1769
01:21:15,413 --> 01:21:17,915
and my manager, Howard Lapides, and I,
1770
01:21:17,999 --> 01:21:20,668
we assembled a team
and started a production company.
1771
01:21:20,751 --> 01:21:24,255
And our first guest,
please welcome Ludacris.
1772
01:21:24,338 --> 01:21:27,883
{\an8}
And MTV bought The New Tom Green Show.
1773
01:21:29,552 --> 01:21:33,139
{\an8}I am so glad this guy's
back on television where he belongs.
1774
01:21:33,222 --> 01:21:34,599
I couldn't believe it.
1775
01:21:34,682 --> 01:21:36,767
My dream had come true.
1776
01:21:36,851 --> 01:21:40,646
Our Big Monster Spectacular Friday!
1777
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,149
Burt Dubrow, producer of the show.
1778
01:21:43,232 --> 01:21:46,110
Can you just tell Glenn quickly?
Because he doesn't believe me.
1779
01:21:46,193 --> 01:21:49,697
We hired a great producer.
Burt really put Tom to the test.
1780
01:21:49,780 --> 01:21:53,451
He... He wanted Tom
to be the best he could be
1781
01:21:53,534 --> 01:21:56,412
at being a talk show host.
1782
01:21:56,495 --> 01:21:59,206
Tom became almost a fanatic,
1783
01:21:59,290 --> 01:22:03,002
and wanting to become better at it.
1784
01:22:03,085 --> 01:22:04,920
Fred Durst... Carson Daly... Gene Simmons.
1785
01:22:05,004 --> 01:22:09,634
{\an8}Tom just has the meat on his bone
to know how to do this.
1786
01:22:09,717 --> 01:22:12,261
{\an8}He just innately knows it
because he studied it.
1787
01:22:12,345 --> 01:22:15,139
He and I literally would go
to the Museum of Broadcasting
1788
01:22:15,222 --> 01:22:18,100
and just watch clips over and over.
1789
01:22:18,184 --> 01:22:19,143
Linkin Park.
1790
01:22:19,226 --> 01:22:21,646
{\an8}I considered Tom to be
one of the better talk show hosts
1791
01:22:21,729 --> 01:22:23,522
{\an8}that we've seen in years.
1792
01:22:23,606 --> 01:22:27,109
{\an8}He really, really is excellent,
and in my opinion,
1793
01:22:27,193 --> 01:22:29,654
{\an8}wasn't given
the appropriate opportunities.
1794
01:22:29,737 --> 01:22:33,115
{\an8}I mean, you got Jimmy Fallon
and Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert now.
1795
01:22:33,199 --> 01:22:35,409
{\an8}You sure could have put Tom in there
in a minute.
1796
01:22:35,493 --> 01:22:38,454
- My chin has never been that wet in life.
- Oh, yeah.
1797
01:22:38,537 --> 01:22:39,622
"Weird Al" Yankovic.
1798
01:22:39,705 --> 01:22:42,541
{\an8}It's like a lifelong dream of mine
to be on The New Tom Green Show.
1799
01:22:42,625 --> 01:22:43,668
{\an8}This is amazing.
1800
01:22:43,751 --> 01:22:45,836
One of the better talk show hosts,
1801
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:49,340
and I don't think anybody
understands the medium
1802
01:22:49,423 --> 01:22:51,300
as well as Tom Green does.
1803
01:22:51,384 --> 01:22:55,137
{\an8}And now, here's...
1804
01:22:55,221 --> 01:22:56,305
{\an8}Tommy!
1805
01:22:59,558 --> 01:23:01,435
Ho!
1806
01:23:02,353 --> 01:23:04,647
Ed McMahon! Wow.
1807
01:23:04,730 --> 01:23:07,024
I love the show,
1808
01:23:07,108 --> 01:23:09,318
and so does the New York Post.
1809
01:23:09,402 --> 01:23:10,611
Wait till you see this.
1810
01:23:10,695 --> 01:23:14,156
Total comparison to Johnny Carson
1811
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:17,076
and a four-star rating.
1812
01:23:17,159 --> 01:23:17,993
Wow.
1813
01:23:19,370 --> 01:23:20,454
Yeah.
1814
01:23:22,748 --> 01:23:23,874
Congratulations.
1815
01:23:41,809 --> 01:23:44,895
The word "genius"
comes to mind with technology.
1816
01:23:44,979 --> 01:23:50,276
Tom was always very, very on top
of technology, ahead of the game.
1817
01:23:50,359 --> 01:23:53,571
You want to be the central person
that is part of the convergence
1818
01:23:53,654 --> 01:23:55,448
- of the internet and television.
- It's called convergence.
1819
01:23:55,531 --> 01:23:57,700
{\an8}The convergence of the internet
and television.
1820
01:23:57,783 --> 01:24:00,953
{\an8}Basically, video is getting so much faster
on the internet now.
1821
01:24:01,036 --> 01:24:03,539
But you can now watch it
basically like television.
1822
01:24:03,622 --> 01:24:04,915
In your estimation,
1823
01:24:04,999 --> 01:24:07,752
how long until this convergence
fully takes place?
1824
01:24:07,835 --> 01:24:11,088
- It's happening right now.
- I know, but when will it be converged?
1825
01:24:11,172 --> 01:24:13,466
I think it's probably
about two or three years.
1826
01:24:13,549 --> 01:24:16,093
I think it's gonna be so fast
that someone like Steve Jobs
1827
01:24:16,177 --> 01:24:19,013
will put out a flat-screen TV
that's basically a computer,
1828
01:24:19,096 --> 01:24:20,681
you hang it on your wall,
and it does everything.
1829
01:24:33,319 --> 01:24:35,112
We're here in the studio.
1830
01:24:35,780 --> 01:24:38,282
It's a little late-night Webovision,
1831
01:24:38,365 --> 01:24:41,994
showing you a little behind the scenes
of the studio here,
1832
01:24:42,077 --> 01:24:44,413
which is, of course,
actually my living room
1833
01:24:44,497 --> 01:24:46,624
here in Los Angeles, California.
1834
01:24:46,707 --> 01:24:48,626
And when Tom came to us and said,
1835
01:24:48,709 --> 01:24:52,922
"I want to shoot a show out of my house
and I'm gonna call it Webovision,"
1836
01:24:53,005 --> 01:24:56,801
um, I think most people looked at him
like he was a little crazy.
1837
01:24:56,884 --> 01:24:59,345
These are the cameras here
we use at the channel.
1838
01:24:59,428 --> 01:25:00,805
The show that you do is a talk show.
1839
01:25:00,888 --> 01:25:02,932
It's in your living room,
in your home here in LA.
1840
01:25:03,015 --> 01:25:04,600
Yeah, there are eight cameras,
1841
01:25:04,683 --> 01:25:07,228
and they're running through
this cool switcher, and then...
1842
01:25:07,311 --> 01:25:09,647
- You can go live on the internet.
- Any time I want.
1843
01:25:09,730 --> 01:25:11,774
That's a great idea.
A talk show on the internet.
1844
01:25:11,857 --> 01:25:15,694
So I've moved the desk
from my old MTV show into the house.
1845
01:25:15,778 --> 01:25:18,614
So people can watch it
and see you sitting at your desk.
1846
01:25:18,697 --> 01:25:21,826
{\an8}It is 8:00.
We're live on the national Webovision.
1847
01:25:21,909 --> 01:25:23,702
{\an8}- Thanks for coming.
This is awesome.
1848
01:25:23,786 --> 01:25:24,703
{\an8}And we just go.
1849
01:25:24,787 --> 01:25:26,580
We put a camera in my refrigerator.
1850
01:25:26,664 --> 01:25:27,832
- You have a fridge cam?
- Yeah.
1851
01:25:27,915 --> 01:25:29,291
Look, there's the inside of the fridge.
1852
01:25:29,375 --> 01:25:31,168
{\an8}- You started a show on the web.
Mm-hm.
1853
01:25:31,252 --> 01:25:33,337
{\an8}And now there's a new frontier.
1854
01:25:33,420 --> 01:25:36,173
{\an8}Live on the internet,
live on the world wide web.
1855
01:25:36,257 --> 01:25:37,842
{\an8}Not again. Sorry.
1856
01:25:39,176 --> 01:25:41,887
Lifetime Public Enemy fan.
I've never met them before.
1857
01:25:41,971 --> 01:25:43,931
- Hey, Flav.
- Yo, yo, Tom!
1858
01:25:44,014 --> 01:25:45,808
{\an8}Yeah, boy!
1859
01:25:45,891 --> 01:25:48,269
{\an8}♪ Bass, how low can you go? ♪
1860
01:25:48,352 --> 01:25:49,645
{\an8}♪ Bring the noise ♪
1861
01:25:49,728 --> 01:25:53,399
{\an8}Any major network
could never have the vibe, the view--
1862
01:25:53,482 --> 01:25:55,234
{\an8}- You're a very lucky man.
It's kinda neat.
1863
01:25:55,317 --> 01:25:57,820
I don't think I've ever
talked about it on the show.
1864
01:25:57,903 --> 01:25:59,947
When we're sitting here,
we're looking out at Hollywood.
1865
01:26:00,030 --> 01:26:02,825
{\an8}- I think this is fucking awesome.
Thank you, man.
1866
01:26:02,908 --> 01:26:04,910
{\an8}This is the craziest thing ever.
1867
01:26:04,994 --> 01:26:07,329
You have so many people
watching this show, okay?
1868
01:26:07,413 --> 01:26:09,164
Why are you trying
to freak me out, Tom Green?
1869
01:26:09,248 --> 01:26:11,333
- Little bit.
- You're responsible.
1870
01:26:11,417 --> 01:26:13,085
You're responsible for me doing this.
How about that?
1871
01:26:13,168 --> 01:26:17,089
Joe Rogan's got the biggest broadcast
in the world of any kind.
1872
01:26:17,172 --> 01:26:19,592
And I think to myself,
"Man, that's pretty cool."
1873
01:26:19,675 --> 01:26:21,510
Somehow, I think I might have
been part of that.
1874
01:26:21,594 --> 01:26:25,556
I was recently on his podcast and we
talked about the time he was on my show.
1875
01:26:25,639 --> 01:26:28,100
It's ultimately you. I'm like your kid.
1876
01:26:28,934 --> 01:26:32,646
Yeah, you know, Patrice used to say that
about comedians that imitated him.
1877
01:26:32,730 --> 01:26:33,856
"They're my babies."
1878
01:26:33,939 --> 01:26:35,399
How about that?
1879
01:26:36,650 --> 01:26:38,193
That's very nice of you to say.
1880
01:26:38,277 --> 01:26:40,738
It really is different,
you know, than television.
1881
01:26:40,821 --> 01:26:43,032
- This is way better.
- There isn't that time constraint.
1882
01:26:43,115 --> 01:26:46,327
There isn't that pressure.
You know, we want to keep it moving...
1883
01:26:46,410 --> 01:26:48,412
Not only that,
there's not a corporate pressure.
1884
01:26:48,495 --> 01:26:51,832
Your show in 2007,
when I went on your show,
1885
01:26:51,916 --> 01:26:54,919
that was 100% a major inspiration.
1886
01:26:55,002 --> 01:26:58,756
I remember very clearly, like,
sitting next to you on that chair going,
1887
01:26:58,839 --> 01:27:01,091
"Dude, this is it." Like, this is it.
1888
01:27:01,175 --> 01:27:03,469
All you have to do is figure out
how you make money from this.
1889
01:27:03,552 --> 01:27:06,096
And then you figured that out, yeah.
1890
01:27:06,180 --> 01:27:09,642
I think Entertainment Tonight
was there that day or something like that.
1891
01:27:09,725 --> 01:27:13,020
- That's right.
- And you made this quote to them.
1892
01:27:13,103 --> 01:27:17,316
And that went out,
and it was defining what's happened.
1893
01:27:17,399 --> 01:27:19,944
And anybody through the internet
can become famous.
1894
01:27:20,027 --> 01:27:21,737
That's really what's gonna happen.
1895
01:27:21,820 --> 01:27:24,782
if you have something and you put it
out there and people are interested in it,
1896
01:27:24,865 --> 01:27:27,743
a viral growth of whatever
you're putting out there will spread
1897
01:27:27,826 --> 01:27:30,371
and it will get out there,
and people will know what you're doing
1898
01:27:30,454 --> 01:27:32,915
if it's funny, if it's entertaining.
And it's a way for people
1899
01:27:32,998 --> 01:27:34,458
to broadcast entertainment.
1900
01:27:34,541 --> 01:27:37,544
A way for anybody to broadcast
something entertaining to the whole world.
1901
01:27:37,628 --> 01:27:39,797
And when you had me as a guest on,
1902
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:41,590
it changed the course of my life.
1903
01:27:41,674 --> 01:27:43,759
Because it really did,
it really was like--
1904
01:27:43,842 --> 01:27:46,011
I remember light bulbs
going off in my head, like,
1905
01:27:46,095 --> 01:27:47,179
"Why don't I do this?"
1906
01:27:47,262 --> 01:27:49,348
The idea came out of you, man.
1907
01:27:49,431 --> 01:27:52,393
Webovision was the original podcast.
1908
01:27:53,143 --> 01:27:55,896
- Thank you so much for coming by.
- Thank you for having me as always, sir.
1909
01:27:55,980 --> 01:27:57,356
Always nice to see you.
1910
01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:58,482
My living room here...
1911
01:27:58,565 --> 01:28:00,401
Unfortunately,
the show was ahead of its time.
1912
01:28:00,484 --> 01:28:04,238
It just began to cost
way too much to keep it operating.
1913
01:28:04,321 --> 01:28:05,698
I started doing stand-up again.
1914
01:28:05,781 --> 01:28:07,741
That was an immediate success,
1915
01:28:07,825 --> 01:28:09,952
eventually doing a complete world tour.
1916
01:28:10,035 --> 01:28:12,579
This is my first show in the UK!
1917
01:28:16,917 --> 01:28:21,797
{\an8}You know how to work a stage,
how to create excitement in a crowd.
1918
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:24,508
{\an8}And you don't see that much with comics.
1919
01:28:24,591 --> 01:28:28,178
He's a legend in the game.
Two words: Tom Green.
1920
01:28:29,513 --> 01:28:31,724
I got to say, I've never seen a guy
1921
01:28:31,807 --> 01:28:35,477
{\an8}go on stage
that in command of the audience.
1922
01:28:35,561 --> 01:28:37,354
You went on stage
1923
01:28:37,438 --> 01:28:40,149
with complete control of the audience.
1924
01:28:40,232 --> 01:28:43,193
You hear in green rooms,
people like, you know,
1925
01:28:43,277 --> 01:28:46,363
"Tom Green started doing stand-up again."
You're like, "Yeah, how is it?"
1926
01:28:46,447 --> 01:28:49,241
- Everybody was, like, complimenting you.
- Oh, that's really--
1927
01:28:49,324 --> 01:28:50,325
That's good to hear.
1928
01:28:50,409 --> 01:28:53,537
I did a USO tour about four years ago.
1929
01:28:53,620 --> 01:28:56,457
- Have you gone over more than once?
- Yeah, I've been over a couple of times.
1930
01:28:56,540 --> 01:28:58,834
Tom Green!
1931
01:28:58,917 --> 01:29:00,377
How you doing, man?
1932
01:29:00,461 --> 01:29:03,047
- It's an overwhelming experience.
- That's a good word for it.
1933
01:29:03,130 --> 01:29:04,882
I don't think I fully even understood
1934
01:29:04,965 --> 01:29:06,633
what it meant to be a comic
till you do that.
1935
01:29:09,428 --> 01:29:11,513
And by the time I'd finished,
1936
01:29:11,597 --> 01:29:13,766
I was a seasoned stand-up comedian.
1937
01:29:14,475 --> 01:29:17,603
I didn't give up the dream of hosting
a late-night talk show.
1938
01:29:21,523 --> 01:29:23,525
It's Tom Green Live.
1939
01:29:24,234 --> 01:29:26,695
{\an8}All you do, Tom, is blow over the hole.
1940
01:29:26,779 --> 01:29:28,155
{\an8}That's what she said.
1941
01:29:28,238 --> 01:29:29,448
{\an8}
1942
01:29:30,407 --> 01:29:32,117
Mark Cuban's AXS TV channel
1943
01:29:32,201 --> 01:29:34,453
was filming a show called
Gotham Comedy Live.
1944
01:29:34,536 --> 01:29:35,913
I did stand-up there.
1945
01:29:35,996 --> 01:29:38,874
They saw my set
and offered me a show, and I said,
1946
01:29:38,957 --> 01:29:43,378
"Well, hey, you know,
I can bring my Webovision studio back."
1947
01:29:43,462 --> 01:29:47,800
We built a brand-new TV studio
in a warehouse, not in my house.
1948
01:29:47,883 --> 01:29:51,887
I can't believe I got to have Carl Reiner,
a show business legend,
1949
01:29:51,970 --> 01:29:55,140
and incredible legend of comedy,
on my show.
1950
01:29:55,849 --> 01:29:58,936
Uh, a true genius,
the creator of the Dick Van Dyke Show.
1951
01:29:59,019 --> 01:30:02,356
Man gets here to make himself comfortable.
He takes his shoes off.
1952
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:03,982
I've seen that a hundred times.
1953
01:30:04,066 --> 01:30:06,110
And then puts on exactly the same.
1954
01:30:06,193 --> 01:30:08,153
That's inspirationally brilliant.
1955
01:30:08,237 --> 01:30:10,197
{\an8}Wow. Well, that really...
1956
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:13,075
{\an8}- You are either an idiot or a genius.
1957
01:30:13,784 --> 01:30:17,037
I would put a check
in the "A" box on that one.
1958
01:30:17,121 --> 01:30:19,998
That's why--
And that's why you're a genius.
1959
01:30:25,796 --> 01:30:28,382
Deal just closed. Sold my house.
1960
01:30:29,716 --> 01:30:30,926
Let's have a drink.
1961
01:30:31,885 --> 01:30:34,221
18 years. 18 years.
1962
01:30:36,265 --> 01:30:39,685
Wow, my last sunset
at my house in Los Angeles.
1963
01:30:39,768 --> 01:30:42,020
Hi, Charlie.
We're gonna go to Canada, Charlie,
1964
01:30:42,104 --> 01:30:44,648
and you're gonna like that better
than this house in the hills.
1965
01:30:44,731 --> 01:30:45,816
Cheers.
1966
01:30:45,899 --> 01:30:47,693
Los Angeles.
1967
01:30:47,776 --> 01:30:49,736
Webovision Studios.
1968
01:30:50,529 --> 01:30:51,864
It's been fun.
1969
01:30:53,282 --> 01:30:54,783
Time for a new adventure.
1970
01:30:59,621 --> 01:31:01,832
This is where I grew up.
1971
01:31:01,915 --> 01:31:03,750
This is where I feel comfortable.
1972
01:31:03,834 --> 01:31:05,294
This is where I want to be.
1973
01:31:06,795 --> 01:31:09,590
And here we are,
my first day in my home.
1974
01:31:09,673 --> 01:31:11,008
We're out in the country,
1975
01:31:11,091 --> 01:31:13,802
and I feel I'm really lucky
that I found this property.
1976
01:31:13,886 --> 01:31:15,804
Hundred-year-old log cabin,
1977
01:31:15,888 --> 01:31:17,848
nice picnic table, nice cedar deck,
1978
01:31:17,931 --> 01:31:19,600
nice pond for swimming,
1979
01:31:19,683 --> 01:31:22,895
nice firepit, and then a nice grill.
1980
01:31:22,978 --> 01:31:25,105
I don't feel like I've made a mistake.
1981
01:31:25,189 --> 01:31:27,608
I feel like this was
a pretty good move, right?
1982
01:31:27,691 --> 01:31:30,485
He really loves where he's living.
1983
01:31:30,569 --> 01:31:33,447
It gave him a chance to just kind of...
1984
01:31:34,740 --> 01:31:38,619
take a breath
and think about things creatively.
1985
01:31:42,289 --> 01:31:44,791
I'm driving to New York City tomorrow
1986
01:31:44,875 --> 01:31:46,752
to go on the Drew Barrymore Show.
1987
01:31:46,835 --> 01:31:49,338
Oh, my God. Wow.
1988
01:31:49,421 --> 01:31:50,547
Face-to-face?
1989
01:31:50,631 --> 01:31:52,216
Yeah. First time in 18 years.
1990
01:31:52,299 --> 01:31:53,884
- Little nervous about it.
- Yeah.
1991
01:31:56,678 --> 01:31:58,889
We got the Taj Mahal here.
1992
01:31:58,972 --> 01:32:00,557
- This is nice.
- Very nice, yeah.
1993
01:32:00,641 --> 01:32:01,558
Yeah.
1994
01:32:01,642 --> 01:32:04,519
We have not seen each other face-to-face,
1995
01:32:04,603 --> 01:32:07,814
actually, in almost 20 years.
1996
01:32:07,898 --> 01:32:12,361
{\an8}Please welcome comedian,
adventurer, pioneer,
1997
01:32:12,444 --> 01:32:14,821
and someone so dear to me, Tom Green.
1998
01:32:21,411 --> 01:32:24,289
How are you doing? Nice.
Thanks for having me on the show.
1999
01:32:24,373 --> 01:32:26,875
- And you smell so minty fresh.
- Oh, yeah.
2000
01:32:26,959 --> 01:32:29,461
Okay, well, yeah,
I took a mint right before I came out.
2001
01:32:29,544 --> 01:32:33,006
I just ate, like, cucumbers and celery
with some really weird sauce.
2002
01:32:33,090 --> 01:32:35,259
Oh, okay. Yeah.
I wasn't gonna say anything.
2003
01:32:35,342 --> 01:32:37,344
Okay, good!
2004
01:32:37,427 --> 01:32:38,637
Congratulations on your show.
2005
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:41,139
He looked a little nervous
when he started.
2006
01:32:41,223 --> 01:32:44,101
That made sense. I would have.
You would have.
2007
01:32:44,184 --> 01:32:46,770
What does it feel like
almost 20 years later to be face-to-face?
2008
01:32:46,853 --> 01:32:49,398
I kind of feel like
I'm watching this too right now.
2009
01:32:50,607 --> 01:32:54,569
But he quickly morphed into comfort,
a comfort zone.
2010
01:32:54,653 --> 01:32:56,822
Sort of a little bit
like an out-of-body experience.
2011
01:32:56,905 --> 01:32:59,199
I feel sort of--
It's very nice to see you.
2012
01:32:59,283 --> 01:33:02,494
Really, it does feel weird, though.
Not weird in a bad way. In a good way.
2013
01:33:02,577 --> 01:33:03,745
Appreciate it, Drew.
2014
01:33:03,829 --> 01:33:06,748
This is cool, I mean,
I actually think this is kind of a...
2015
01:33:06,832 --> 01:33:08,792
A nice way of reconnecting, actually.
2016
01:33:10,961 --> 01:33:12,546
Ladies and gentlemen...
2017
01:33:12,629 --> 01:33:13,839
- Tom...
- Green.
2018
01:33:24,474 --> 01:33:25,350
Cancer.
2019
01:33:25,434 --> 01:33:26,476
Help me!
2020
01:33:28,937 --> 01:33:31,732
I've been back here
for just a very short period of time.
2021
01:33:31,815 --> 01:33:33,483
- I already feel like I'm home.
- Oh, really?
2022
01:33:33,567 --> 01:33:34,651
You're a lucky man.
2023
01:33:41,033 --> 01:33:43,076
- Wow.
- How's the water?
2024
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:44,119
It's nice.
2025
01:33:44,202 --> 01:33:46,038
Guess it can't be too cold.
2026
01:33:46,121 --> 01:33:48,332
It'd be cool to get, like, a nice...
2027
01:33:48,415 --> 01:33:50,876
The most extreme wide we can get.
2028
01:33:50,959 --> 01:33:52,544
Thanks, everyone.
Let's set up the cameras.
2029
01:33:57,716 --> 01:34:00,344
I'm so happy with my decision
to leave Los Angeles
2030
01:34:00,427 --> 01:34:02,179
and move to the country.
2031
01:34:02,262 --> 01:34:05,682
With my family down the road,
I no longer feel isolated.
2032
01:34:05,766 --> 01:34:07,184
Good girl, Charlie.
2033
01:34:07,267 --> 01:34:09,811
Living in Hollywood
for all those years was a great way
2034
01:34:09,895 --> 01:34:11,229
to learn about show business.
2035
01:34:11,313 --> 01:34:12,814
But now that I'm home,
2036
01:34:12,898 --> 01:34:15,859
I can feel the real me returning.
2037
01:34:15,942 --> 01:34:17,110
I'm comfortable here.
2038
01:34:18,028 --> 01:34:19,321
Hello.
2039
01:34:19,988 --> 01:34:21,990
Hello.
2040
01:34:22,074 --> 01:34:23,158
Hi. Wow.
2041
01:34:23,241 --> 01:34:25,035
Okay, Charlie.
2042
01:34:25,118 --> 01:34:26,286
It's exciting, huh?
2043
01:34:28,622 --> 01:34:31,249
Thing works. Yeah!
2044
01:34:31,333 --> 01:34:34,920
Technology now allows us
to communicate worldwide
2045
01:34:35,003 --> 01:34:36,797
in more ways than ever.
2046
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,466
We can live our lives and our dreams
2047
01:34:39,549 --> 01:34:40,759
wherever we choose.
2048
01:34:48,475 --> 01:34:50,102
Whole new adventure.
2049
01:34:50,185 --> 01:34:52,062
Oh, you're going right for that grass.
2050
01:34:53,605 --> 01:34:56,733
And even though making this documentary
was not easy,
2051
01:34:56,817 --> 01:34:59,111
it was a cathartic exercise.
2052
01:34:59,194 --> 01:35:01,196
Try to be in a longer lens there.
2053
01:35:02,572 --> 01:35:06,785
Reliving all those amazing
experiences has felt at times unreal.
2054
01:35:07,953 --> 01:35:09,037
Mm!
2055
01:35:09,121 --> 01:35:10,914
It actually tastes good.
2056
01:35:10,997 --> 01:35:13,208
What do you mean they actually taste good?
2057
01:35:15,001 --> 01:35:17,671
But also, it's given me a chance
to contemplate
2058
01:35:17,754 --> 01:35:21,258
and learn and prepare
for this next chapter of my life.
2059
01:35:22,092 --> 01:35:24,761
Now, both personally and professionally,
2060
01:35:24,845 --> 01:35:27,305
I truly believe
that I'm just getting started.
2061
01:35:27,931 --> 01:35:29,057
It's okay.
2062
01:35:29,141 --> 01:35:30,767
And the best is yet to come.
2063
01:35:31,351 --> 01:35:33,770
Would you please
help me welcome to the stage
2064
01:35:33,854 --> 01:35:36,231
the one, the only, Ottawa's own...
2065
01:35:36,314 --> 01:35:37,941
Tom Green!
