Tom Green Age: 47 Hometown: Ottawa, Canada Current City: Los Angeles, CA Occupation: Comedian Three adjectives that describe you: Hilarious, creative and pioneer. Favorite Activities: Stand-up comedy, producing comedy films, TV and videos, recording music and skateboarding. What do you think will be the most difficult part of living inside the BIG BROTHER house? Not having access to the outside world and being away from friends, family, and loved ones. What moment in your career do you think prepared you to live in the BIG BROTHER house? When “The Tom Green Show” became a smash hit on MTV, allowing me to host Saturday Night Live, guest host David Letterman, and appear on the cover of Rolling Stone. I was thrust into the national media spotlight which prepared me for life under a microsope. Which past BIG BROTHER cast member did you like most? Cody Nickson. Do you have a strategy for winning the game? Yes ? My life’s motto is… Stay positive. What would you take into the house and why?
• If I could take anything into the house, I would probably take my phone. I am an avid social media user and like staying in touch with my comedy fans on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Being off the grid on Big Brother is going to be a surreal experience! Fun facts about yourself: • I started my comedy career at 16-years-old doing stand-up comedy in Ottawa, Canada. • In the ‘90s I studied TV broadcasting in college and created a new kind of reality comedy that incorporated home video cameras with man on the street pranks and guerilla interviews. • I was in a rap group when I was a teenager called “Organized Rhyme.” We had a hit song in Canada called “Check The O.R.” • I did one of the first online streaming internet talk shows in the early 2000’s where we broadcast “Tom Green’s House Tonight” from my living room. • I am an avid skateboarder and was signed as a pro skater to Tony Hawk’s Birdhouse skateboards. • I produce music and write songs and have a new album coming out on vinyl this year called “This Is The Tom Green Show!” Available in April on Record Store Day. • I will be on a world stand-up comedy tour this year performing in cities across America and around the world. The tour will take me to San Francisco, Toronto, Nashville, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore… and many many more exciting places.

That skit with the cow will forever be burned into my memory. That said, I hope he brings some weirdness to the feeds.

Hey, he's the first one who may have watched BB before.

Yup! That's a plus!
Scaramucci follows Hamsterwatch...so it sounds like he keeps up with the feeds.

one thing about Tom I don't see here is that he is a cancer survivor and has only one...ya know. That being said, he will at least attempt to entertain us. If it works or not, that remains to be seen.
He was also married to Drew Barrymore if I remember correctly.

Tom ET InterviewTakeaways: Loves the show. Has done Celeb Apprentice and thinks that will help in BB. On CA he was always trying to be "on" but he wont do that this time. He will lay low at first. Admits he is a weird guy. He is not worried about any particular celeb. He will be ok with slop. His biggest fear is not winning. He wont be quitting. Wont be having a showmance. He got some advice from Mark McGrath (he didn't say what it was.) He is competitive. In his interview with Ika- He will hold back a bit but will let loose in the Diary room if he needs to. He is excited for people to see the real him , not his character they may think he is. He knows how to deal with celebrities. Purposely will not win first comp. Can handle a bromance but not a showmance. I think if he does what he has said, not being his character he may be ok.

If he's done Celeb Apprentice, he may have some stories to share with the Mooch.

I have been watching Tom Green for a very long time (Before MTV and he got big) and I have been a huge fan. I almost fell off my chair when I heard he was going to be on! I hope he stays on for a long time.

While I have never known anything about TOM other than some silly comedian.......ON HERE (CBB2) I am really liking him.
I find his humor very dry and his facial expressions are hysterical.
I do remember he and Drew Barrymore fell deeply in love, I think they married, and then she left..........it was devastating for TOM. I know nothing more about what happened between the two of them. This was yearsssss ago. I think they both were dealing with cancer, possibly? Maybe I should just google it.
All in all I do love him on After Dark too. He is a really nice guy.

I'm with you, Holly. I don't find him funny at all. He's one of my least favorite houseguests. To be honest something about him gives me the creeps. Him and Kato.

I wasn't a big fan of his show in the 90s, but in the BB house I like how I can see the human being behind the crazed comedian.

I wouldn't say that I was a fan of his in his heyday, but his painting his parents' house plaid while they were on vacation will never not be funny to me.

He's talked about that on the live feeds. His mom was NOT happy.

I'm catching up on all the weeks I haven't been online at other sites and my intermittent visits here at Fort, and I gotta say I'm surprised at how many Tom-lovers / Tamar-haters there are out there. So surprised! Usually, when I like a HG, that's the person everyone hates and when I dislike a HG, that's the person everyone is rooting for. This is a nice change of pace. Tom seems to be the frontrunner for America's Favorite Player. Go Tom! I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm feeling pretty confident he will win. I have to celebrate now, just in case I'm wrong.

He certainly started reading the internet when he got home, based on that tweet. But at least he knows that he was popular now.

I hope his popularity out here made him feel better after the way some people treated him in the house. We'll always have the Coffee Song, "Tom Dancing to Things" and Cereal Box Osprey!

I was sad to see Tom go. Then when he trusted Kandi to be in his alliance, she went telling Tamar that he was after Ricky. I felt Tom really tried hard to win, but at times, he couldn't catch a break.

Ricky already knew Tom was after him. And no matter what every single one of them besides Dina and Kandi were going to put him on the block.

The guy passing by is looking at his phone and doesn't even notice them. Thank goodness they weren't there to commit havoc or he would have been a goner. **sigh**

Congrats to you, Tom for winning America's Favorite Player! You deserved it! Very good player with humbleness. I like that.

I'm glad he won AFP as well. I'm surprised he voted Tamar, because the look on his face, seemed to say he couldn't stand her..
