Tom Green is the Tony Hawk of Tom Green
I can see that.
this is correct information
Good interview, nice to hear Tom reminisce! Although, wish he would have spoken more about his music and his bits on his local cable show (Rogers 22)…still quote much of it to this day! “Celebrity Watching” was hilarious and a fave segment. Had the pleasure in taking part in the infamous Pineapple Rally in front of 24 Sussex to offer PM Jean Chrétien a pineapple…great memory I will never forget!
Check the O.R., you like it so far??!
😂🇨🇦🙌
When he talked about the sounds of nature from his childhood I teared up. He's the only celebrity that I genuinly love like family, and that reconnection with nature for him is very moving.
Nice interview, been following Tom a bit on the farm through the RUclips channel and watch the Norm visits on his livingroom chat show sometimes, nice interview with Tom but it's Tom Powers so of course it was a good interview. The cancer story is personal, father's step son died of testicular cancer a day after his 24th birthday in August 1999 so he was 4 years younger than Tom Green, RIP.
Tom Green is a Canadian National treasure!
He is a liberal and a Justin Trudeau supporter 😅
Great-great-great episode my favorite was when you went on Mike Bullard with the dead raccoon in the suitcase pretty funny dude
Thankyou TOM
Stealing Harvard is one of my favorite comedy movies, Tom is hilarious in it
"Tarp,... she couldnt spell T A R P ? " Love Stealing Harvard, funny movie.
What a good doggo
I watched Freddy got Fingered recently and honestly it was hilarious. Ahead of its time, perhaps? I don't understand the hate it got when it came out lol Tom seems to be a bit hard on himself when that movie is mentioned, but honestly he shouldn't be. The scene where he drove by the horses and then did you know what to them had me in f**king stitches lol.
cant wait to see charley at tom’s shows in november
Gotta Love the OR #Swedish 🇨🇦👽🎸👍🏼
"Hold the light!"
You like raisins.
He was so mean to Robert Kurtz on his webovision back in the day literally talked to him as if he was dirt
Norm MacDonald.
Listening to "Tom Green" describe his Radio Job escapades left the Host-- Tom Power blank- as to what he had even asked Tom!!😂
I hated Freddy Got Fingered . Plus I heard you did not write it. Solid stand-up. you seem to be down on your own stand-up, it's good. I watched all the A&E evenings at the Improve broadcasted back in the day and I heard them all and I am saying you are solid. out of the box you get a10. likeability a 2. stand up good 5-6.
