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!
