Arrested?

Has he ever been? I've seen people threaten to call the cops on him, and a cop once grabbing him by the back on the collar, but never heard of it actually happening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The snare (talk • contribs) 06:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

He once said an email that he hasn't, but I don't have a citation for it. Socby19 21:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)SocBy19

Testicular Cancer

There should probably be more info on Tom's bout with testicular cancer in the article, as it only gets a short mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.38.190.69 (talk) 02:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Is someone bullcrappin or does he really have that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TrentAndreas14 (talk • contribs) 22:49, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

ADD?

There is a cartoon voiced by Green in which he says he has ADD. It could be just joking at the fact that his material is quite random but there is a possibility he really has ADD... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.66.9.162 (talk) 11:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

-The cartoon you're referring to is Clone High, and Tom voiced himself on the show. His character has A.D.D. and is trying to spread awareness about A.D.D. through his "new book". He also talks about potato chips, his muscle, and a ferris wheel, and then proceeds to chase a floating plastic bag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.38.190.69 (talk) 02:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Razzi Awards

"Green appeared at the ceremony to accept his awards, making him the first recipient to do so in the award's twenty-year history."

Not true, Paul Verhoeven accepted a Razzi in 1996 for Showgirls. http://en.wikipedia.org/Golden_Raspberry_Awards

Although I suppose he was the first person to show up after winning multiple Razzis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.251.17.51 (talk) 04:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

--He was the first "actor" to accept in person. Verhoeven was a director. 208.53.131.46 05:15, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Anticipating Vandalism

Just a head's up, the /b/tards of 4chan have a new meme going and they're pranking Tom Green's call-in show. There was already some 4chan meme spam on here that I deleted. It may or not get worse, so mods, keep an eye on this page. --jeffrey elliot 06:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

First off, it's not really a meme. Secondly, while this article probably will get vandalized, might the pranking get a mention on either this page, or 4chan's (probably the latter)? While not really a major event in Green's life, it's fairly big for us at /b/. Trebs 23:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Ebaum's world sucks and is for complete fruitcakes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.143.22 (talk) 23:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

(comment doesn't make sense because of vandalism in attempt to enforce rules 1 and 2, since reverted) —/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 23:39, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Rapper

Thats a joke right? He really isn't a rapper is he?

Yes, he most definitely is. Zerbey 19:16, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I've just deleted an entry saying he died today in Ontario. The fella lives the the Hollywood hills. If you're going to do it, do it properly.

Doubling Letterman

I removed the part about episodes of Tom Green's web show doubling the ratings of David Letterman. It's ridiciulous. I seriously f***ing doubt that Tom Green Live gets eight million viewers a night.

Forum killed by 4chan, Green asking for Counter-Raid

Seems like the Tom Green Forums were the target of another so-called raid by 4chan(specifically /b/)'s Users. I've received this eMail today:

The following is an email sent to you by an administrator of "tomgreen.com - The Channel". If this message is spam, contains abusive or other comments you find offensive please contact the webmaster of the board at the following address: no-reply@tomgreen.com Include this full email (particularly the headers). Message sent to you follows: 21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)145.254.59.185 Due to the recent raid the forum is going to be under some changes, there will be an end to it soon enough and everyone can go back to enjoying themselves, without being bothered by 4chan of any kind. sorry you guys all had to go through this but 4chan hit us hard this time. ~Snix

His reaction was posted on the forums as well:

"Tim, you've got to do something about these 4chan whores. They are really a pain in the ass. It's not even fun to go the website sometimes because they are always f*&%ing it up. Please Ted, fix it!! " Sent by a Shepherd, from Hell

Tom: "go fuck up their site. Pussy's. I like 4chan, at least they commit!"

I think this could/should be mentioned in the part of the article referring to Tom Green Live, next to the continuos prank calls mainly done by 4chan users.

If requested, I can cite a screenshot of the mail and http://tomgreen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1807 for the answer.

Who cares? Why are you bringing this to Misplaced Pages's attention? A bunch of anime forum retards are invading Tom Green's forums. So what? What does this have to do with wikipedia or this article? Have you considered that most wikipedia users don't care about 4chan or forum invasions? 65.97.2.33 20:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

That's a bit of an outrageous statement, I'm sure there are many Misplaced Pages users who go on ebaumsworld, and are interested in forum invasions. It could do with a mention, but I won't press the issue, as I don't really care. If enough users want it added, and the moderators/admins deem the addition to be reasonable, then it will be added. Sandwiches99 03:14, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

If you ask me, I beleive the whole 4Chan attack should be dropped from the article. It's getting pretty pathetic and has no damaging effects on Green, his life, or his career (which this article is mostly about). It's only a smart part, and a pretty sad one too.

Did Eric actually go through and have his members edit this to remove Ebaumsworld?EmoHobo 11:58, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Of course they did, EmoHobo. Eric does not like being talked about, and blames all of the stupid shit they do on 4chan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.152.61.3 (talk) 22:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Online Petition

In the section about the Tom Green Show 2009 Campaign, there is a list of notable signatories to the online petition. Is there any verifiable evidence, outside the petition itself, that these people actually signed? With most online petitions, it is trivial to sign under any name you choose, thus making a list of "Famous People who signed the petition" relatively worthless (unless, of course, these individuals are on record elsewhere as having signed, in which case that information should be linked here as well) Audrina 08:29, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Name Change?

This should probably go under tom green live, but it's archived. Has Tom Green Live changed it's name back to "The Tom Green Show, Live from Los Angeles California"?

Live show raid

Should it be mentioned that ebaums raided his live online show for quite a while by calling in pranks, especially during "girl talk"? Relyt22

Barrel Roll

Could someone please tell me how all of the prank calls where people yell barrel roll got started? 66.150.41.150 20:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Ask Google. I would tell you, but then I would either have to assimilate or kill you. ;D Octane 16.08.07 0402 (UTC)

octane, don't worry about it; it was ebaums. 72.241.92.78 00:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

What's up with this ebaus-stuff.. he's not a FAGGOT

Pirates of Silicon Valley

I higly doubt this movie should be in his filmography - 83.134.139.215 18:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

America's Got Talent

The article states that Tom had a stuntman do the stunt, but upon watching the video that isn't the case, exactly. Tom Green clearly does the skateboard stunt, but he lands and disappears backstage. At this point, 'Tom' runs back out and is on fire; and I believe THIS is the stuntman. A man chases him with a fire extinguisher in a cricle around the stage, he disappears backstage again and then re-emerges with comically tattered clothing.

-Weiss —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.253.79.170 (talk) 13:51, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, this is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.143.22 (talk) 23:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Clarification Please

This article makes a lot of gossipy comments about Tom and his former wife, Drew Barrymore. Some of them might make more sense to people who understood the context, than to the average reader.Landroo (talk) 02:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Fear Factor

Fear Factor and it's format existed long before Tom Green. If it's based on anything it's based on Now or Never from the early Nineties. http://nl.wikipedia.org/Now_or_Never Robin.lemstra (talk) 10:15, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I just saw that a rapper named tommy green was featured in a song with bobby faithful. The song is called weed song and its on www.myspace.com/bobbyfaithful kinda interested to see if its this tom green if anyone knows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.149.72.96 (talk) 22:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
