Mo Rocca made his first appearance on Tom Green Live this week and just blogged about his experience and thoughts on the show and internet broadcasting on his popular AOL blog called Mo Rocca 180°.
“I have always been a fan of Tom Green’s. I met him fleetingly backstage at The Daily Show in 1999. Not long before, he’d burst on the scene – his brand of humor outrageously funny but never cruel. Chatting with him then he struck me as startlingly modest for someone so famous for crossing so many boundaries.
[…] In this era of torturously over-prepared talk show guests (think Teri Hatcher telling some “zany” story about driving on the 405 to Jimmy Kimmel), Tom’s show bucks convention and conducts no pre-interviews. Just as we didn’t know what the girl from Australia would say, Tom didn’t know what I was going to say during our hour together. (FYI – Most late-night show bookers grill their guests harder than suspects at GITMO on what they’re going to say on camera, thereby sucking any bit of spontaneity from the actual interviews.) Tom’s interviews have pauses, false starts, even some dead ends. Thank God!
Bravo, Tom. Your quirky, funny, techno-savvy talk show also turns out to be the most human.”
