It was by pure accident that we got addicted to Tom Green.
During sometime in 2004, we were hanging out at Richie’s house. Richie was flipping through the channels to find something funny to watch on TV. We came across The Subway Monkey Hour and we looked at the information for it, which listed Tom Green.
At this point, we had heard of Tom from previous years before. We had even seen the Piggy Hill music video before from the MTV The Tom Green Show. Eric, also, had seen Stealing Harvard previously. We put the special on and we loved it, because it was hilarious. We instantly got hooked into the comedy of Tom Green. And the next day, after the sleep over at Richie’s house, we all hung out at Eric and Hobo Joey’s house. And on MTV2 three episodes of The Tom Green Show were airing. This is fate because before that and still to this day, that has never aired before.
After we had been into this for about several months, we decided to see if he had an official website. Tom did, and we e-mailed him on there. And one day he posted it and responded. We were overly excited and almost in shock after seeing this, and now we have had almost one hundred e-mails posted on www.TomGreen.com, and now are the Top Deputies.
Now, we are going to tell about the Petition origin. One day in July of 2005, while Richie was on vacation, Eric was surfing around the Web at Tom Green-related things. He came across the IMDb page of his credits, and was taking a look at the archives of the message board. There was a topic that we 100% completely agreed with. Tom should get his show back. We read the post and it told about the 2009 situation. That is this - In a few years, 2009, Conan O’Brien from will be taking over Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show.
Leno has already signed the contract with NBC, stating that this is true and he will be retiring then. This leaves an open slot for NBC Late Night in 2009 television, and who else but Tom Green himself. On a reply to the topic, someone named Dominic Montoya said that he would help and back up anyone who started this sort of Campaign or Petition. Eric Googled for free Petitions and found ThisCause.org. We started the Petition on July 28, 2005, ironically, two days before Tom’s birthday. The Petition was known after it had gotten posted multiple times on Tom’s website, and now we get new signatures for the Tom Green for Conan in `09 Petition everyday. If you haven’t, please sign it. And if you have, spread the word. Legends have signed this Petition, for example, Tom Green’s father, Dick Green, Tom Green’s brother, Joe Green, Tom Green’s girlfriend and model, Christa Campbell, comedian Andy Dick, comic star Andy Milonakis, and many more!
Awesome.
Peace.
