Tom Green's House Tonight (formerly known as Tom Green Live!) is a talk show hosted by Tom Green. In addition to its primary Internet broadcast on TomGreen.com, the show has been syndicated on television stations throughout North America.
The broadcast is mostly spontaneous with a reliance on celebrity guests and viewer interaction via Skype calls and phone calls. Before moving to a regular television studio, the show was set inside Green's living room in the Hollywood Hills, where a fully functional low-budget studio had been constructed.
Beginning February 4, 2013, Green replaced Tom Green's House Tonight with Tom Green Radio, a weekly audio podcast recorded in a Hollywood studio. As of October 3, 2013, Tom Green Live returned to television with a weekly broadcast on AXS TV.
Tom Green conceived the idea for the show in 2005, deciding that if it were technically feasible and economically viable, he’d be happiest doing his own nightly talk show from his living room. Green went on to approach online television network ManiaTV! with the idea. On June 5, 2006, ManiaTV! announced they had signed Green to host a live talk show from his own home and would give him complete creative control. Green provided his desk, as used on The New Tom Green Show, and ManiaTV! provided the additional equipment.
The first show aired live on June 15, 2006 at 11pm ET, and was originally called Tom Green Live!. The show was initially only scheduled to air on Thursday nights, but soon expanded to air Monday-Thursday.
Early shows often included technical issues with the phone system, computers, streaming and audio. Many viewers found Green's reactions to the technical problems to be entertaining as opposed to a hindrance to the show. Green's regular outbursts towards his off camera staff have become a running joke.
