Teachers Suck

Mark — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 19:09:50 +0000

With the recent release of Basement Jams, available in the music store, we were feeling quite nostalgic over Tom’s 2005 release of Prepare For Impact and unless you were living in Canada or a frequent visitor of The Channel (before it was a channel), you probably missed this little gem. It’s the music video for the hit single “Teachers Suck”. Check it out!

Tom Green gets intimate and interactive with late-night talk show - CP

Anthony — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 17:38:52 +0000

Canadian Publication Canoe brings us the latest exposure on the Jan. 7th Cross-format re-launch!

Green can turn on the studio set with the flip of a switch and he’s been known to go live on the Internet at odd hours of the day and night to take calls from anyone watching. He’ll even have a midnight snack on camera at his desk with his pets - two Siberian huskies, Annie and Steve and his green-winged macaw, Rex Murphy.

Unlike most Late night talk shows, “Tom Green’s House Tonight” employs a small team of technical staff which includes a hand-held camera operator, a director and an audio expert. Thats right…No writers! No pre-interviews! NO SCRIPT!

“Most talk shows now are pretty pre-scripted - you know, you do a pre-interview and by the time you’re sitting there you’re kind of trying to remember what your answer is supposed to be, whereas here that’s not really the case,” Says Green.

With this new hybrid of Late night, the comfort of a Home environment Shines in the face of a TV Studio. Natural and creatively inviting is one way to describe the re-vamped “TGHT” set.

Green doesn’t mind using his home as a TV set.
“It actually just saves me time, you know. I don’t have to be stuck in traffic and I actually really like it a lot. It really does, I think, have a positive effect on the show too because people are coming up to my house and more of a rapport gets created than if it’s in the studio.”

So with the big day approaching, the equipment is upgraded, the crew is prepped, the bugs are worked out and Tom readies himself for his date with the world.

“I want to be able to have the kind of energy to do the goofy show that we’re intending to do every night, five nights a week, an hour a night, so that’s something that I’m just trying to get ready for, It’s like Rocky, you know, it’s like that. You’ve got to prepare for the big fight.”

…and what do you say to a fighter with nearly 2 years of daily training?

Go get em’ Champ!

Canadian comic to bring his live ‘Web-o-vision’ comedy show to TV

Anthony — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:03:53 +0000

The long awaited cross-format premier draws closer. With attention turning to this new medium, more light is shed on the details of the venture in the latest media report by the Globe and Mail.

VANCOUVER — ‘Rex Murphy is going crazy,” Tom Green said this week from his home in Los Angeles, referring not to the CBC commentator (and Globe and Mail columnist) but to his own pet green-winged macaw, squawking loudly and interrupting Green’s thoughts on comedy, television and second chances.

Green is spending a lot of time at home these days, where he has been hosting a live online talk show - a program he is now preparing for television. Tom Green’s House Tonight will premiere on The Comedy Network across Canada on Jan. 7 (it is also being syndicated in the United States). Until now, the show has existed only as a nightly live Web broadcast called Tom Green Live.

In 1997, The Comedy Network in Canada acted as a launching pad for Tom before getting picked up by MTV in 1999. So now, with the polished new set and some new technology, it’s back to Tom’s old stomping grounds.

Green seems particularly jazzed about new birch panelling. “It’s exciting to be backed by such a great wood,” he said during a recent Web preview of the new set, called The Construction Special. “Is that Canadian birch?” he asks the workers behind him.

Big thanks to the Globe and Mail.

Web Pinch-Hitters Help During Strike

Mark — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 03:17:08 +0000

With the writers strike in full effect here in the US, all shows that have not already been written pre-October are currently off-air and are airing re-runs. Most soap operas and other select shows episodes have been written into January and aren’t (yet) affected. However, all late night programming where it’s content is usually written the day of it’s airing have been axed for the time being. That’s where internet steps up and provides you fresh content to settle your cravings. From the Associated Press:

FOR “LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN” FANS

Tom Green’s Web talk show is a truly a marvel. Broadcasting more-or-less nightly out of the living room of his California home, Green conducts a lo-fi late night program nearly revolutionary in its ramshackle, can-do approach. The guests on his show (http://www.tomgreen.com) can occasionally be almost as A-list as on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” though it often encounters many more technical difficulties. You can also still get “Late Show” humor straight from its writers at http://www.lateshowwritersonstrike.com, where they are posting videos, blogs and jokes about their strike experience.

Nearly Revolutionary? Lo-Fi? Ramshackle? The author of this article, Jake Coyle (who’s email address is printed at the bottom of the linked article) clearly doesn’t know of what he speaks. Sure, Webovision was, at one time, a bit lo-fi in terms of streaming technology, but The Channel has always been the most revolutionary content providers on the internet and will forever remain on the cutting edge. Either way, a great plug for The Channel that will surely have Letterman fans tuning in, but perhaps the article author needs a bit of sense knocked into him. You can read the entire article here.
