The Tom Green Show: Early Exposure

Raw meat and rare treats.

Pineapples. Apparently it was the pineapples, lots of 'em, that got station management's attention in 1993 when deejay/skate punk Tom Green and his "crew" wheeled in their proposal for a schizoid "variety" show to tiny Rogers TV, Ottawa's local cable outlet. For the next three years, armed with a camera and a complete lack of inhibition, Green developed his own brand of "Street Theater of the Absurd". Along with Glenn Humplik, whom he met while spinning his web of wackiness on a college radio station, Green's no-budget show built a cult following that went national on Canada's Comedy Network in 1997 and then went North American on MTV in 1999. Now he's a bona fide Hollywood star. Spanked onto this DVD is the outrageous best of those early years. Take a peek if you dare.
