Tom Green

Oh, boy.

You're hammered.

Well – Pretty quickly.

Yeah.

And then I got out there and I did a shot and the audience goes crazy and cheers, right?

And so then I do another shot and so I end up doing way too many shots and it kind of ended up very similarly to our last conversation here.

And it was actually –

pretty hilarious uh it was one of those things where you know it did get out of control you know the next day uh the there was a the new york post it's had my picture and it said dead drunk you know it's just like one of those and uh and uh you know jay called me at home the next day you okay man you really kind of went up but then you know then that was sort of the beginning of me realizing oh you know you can't why tom green went on leno and deliberately got drunk

Yeah.

And, you know, in hindsight, I go, well, that was, you know, kind of the outrageous kind of young version of me that I was doing on the show that made perfect sense to do that for a gag.

But then, you know, the naive kid in me didn't understand, you know.

A lot of people in Hollywood did not understand that and then got mad in the movie studio.

People got mad at you?

Well, like the movie studio.

I was on promoting a movie and they were like, oh, we don't want you to go on any more talk shows for the movie.

I'm like, what?

It was a joke.

Obviously, it was a joke.

And they're not interpreting it as a joke.

They're interpreting it as me being kind of out of control.
