What is Tom Green's new special about?
Las Vegas. I'll be at Resorts World Theater March 21st and 22nd. My new special, Lucky, is streaming right now on Netflix. Check it out. Vancouver Island?
Yeah. Fucking gorgeous. And it is amazing that it's all going to be the 51st state soon.
What was up with them booing us at the hockey game?
They're booing about that. Oh. Oh.
Yeah. So not everyone wants to be us. Yeah, yeah. First of all, I Got a Mule and Tom Green Country, they're awesome. Thanks, man. But the fucking, this is the Tom Green documentary, fucked me up. Yeah, oh yeah? It really did because it brought me back. I have so many questions, but not questions, but just like, There's a point in the documentary where you said you were on screen with Steve Martin and someone else. Martin Short, yeah. Martin Short, and you were trying to make them laugh, and it wasn't going over great. And you were like, I thought this would be funnier. And I identify with that so much in that those guys like Steve Martin, and they always had these old school chops. And then you came in with a new style of media that was like, and the only thing I can relate that to
is and i this is my big can i because i really think jackass was spawned from your show yeah yeah i really think you were the inspiration for jackass not and i know johnny knoxville came up with it on his own but i think without you we get no jackass yeah but i remember being with bam margera and ryan dunn one time at a and and kids would go do jackass and they didn't know how to do it like they didn't know how to do what they did in the show in live person. Right, sure, sure. And you were a comedian, but I saw in that moment you were like, the Tom Green thing, it's a hard, you gotta be in, you gotta be in on it.
Well, I was jumping around with a box on my head, yeah. So I was sort of an anti, I was sort of, That was sort of an anti-joke moment for sure. Because I was sitting there with... I'd only been in L.A. for a couple weeks. And Martin Short invited me on his first talk show. And Steve Martin was the other guest. I'm like, okay, so I'm going to be sitting between Ed Grimley and the jerk.
Why do Canadians boo Americans at hockey games?
And how am I supposed to... So I thought I'd go... overly silly, and I just brought a cardboard box out and stuck it on my head and was jumping around. It was actually kind of a fun appearance, but I remember being completely amazed that When I got to the studio, Steve Martin came and knocked on my dressing room door. He came in and introduced himself as he'd been watching the show. And then he really liked the show. And I was like, wow, that is so cool. You know, that he came out and he'd gotten some tapes. He'd gotten some VHS tapes of the show to watch them. So, yeah, surreal. It was a surreal thing to go through all my footage, you know, and to make the doc. It was definitely... I would not advise it to anybody to make a documentary about yourself.
I mean, your parents are fucking adorable. Yeah, yeah. Your mom, when she goes, isn't it against better interest to have the person the documentary is about directing it? You're like, yeah. You're not supposed to do that, no. Your mom's fucking adorable. But is there a moment where you go... I've had a couple pops. I'm outside. I'm at my place in Canada. But let's be fucking real. I created all this shit. Well, uh... Because, okay, I'll toot your own horn. Tom Green Show, probably first... First, no one's doing Man on the Street at the time. No one's doing Crazy Man on the Street. No one's doing now what Jack Doherty and all these TikTok kids, hey, it's just a prank, you know, that shit. You created that entire genre.
Joe Rogan has credited you with setting up... You had the very first podcast ever. You created that entire genre. I mean... So many things. You did Dirty Old Man before Johnny Knoxville did Dirty Old Man. You were at the very beginning of so many things that you created. I just wonder how you, like, if you just sit some nights, your ego gets out in front of you and you're like, come on, man.
