Tom Green's House Tonight

[1] In addition to its primary Internet broadcast on TomGreen.com, the show has been syndicated on television stations throughout North America.

[5] As of October 3, 2013, Tom Green Live returned to television with a weekly broadcast on AXS TV.

announced they had signed Green to host a live talk show from his own home and would give him complete creative control.

Green has likewise been cited by numerous podcasters and other online content creators as a pioneer in the medium.

I'm really trying to take advantage of the looseness of the medium and the ability to be completely honest, real and in the moment like the way television was when it first started".

[12] Many notable guests have appeared on the show, including stars such as Pamela Anderson, Kat Von D, actors Val Kilmer, Brooke Shields, Crispin Glover and Thora Birch, hip-hop artists Flavor Flav and Xzibit, talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Carson Daly, musicians Henry Rollins and Dave Navarro, pro wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin, skateboarder Tony Hawk, as well as comedians Tim & Eric, Neil Hamburger, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Dice Clay.

At any time of the day or night Green can spontaneously go on the air by literally flipping a switch on a remote control, which turns on all of the lights and cameras, hits record and sends out the feed to TomGreen.com.

[19] Green and his team travelled in an RV that had been equipped to allow cameras to be set up in remote locations whilst broadcasting a live video stream using wireless technology.

[19] A fixed camera located behind the front windscreen of the RV enabled viewers to follow along with the journey.

The new site implemented new technology, featuring full 16:9 live Flash video, and was streamed by BitGravity, a content delivery network.

[25] Green's intention is for viewer funding to allow him total creative freedom over The Channel by removing the need for financial support from TV networks and corporate sponsors.

On February 10, 2010, additional features were added to the membership service, including forums, the ability to comment on videos, and priority when Skype calling into the show.

In early 2011, the membership service was discontinued as Green took a hiatus from The Channel to focus on his stand-up comedy world tour.

In October 2007, Broadcasting & Cable announced the show's January 2008 expansion to TV syndication in a deal with Debmar-Mercury.

[29] The show ran on television for two seasons before Green decided to stop syndication, primarily due to dissatisfaction towards his loss of creative control.

[6] The telecast has a similar format to the web show, with an hour long discussion between Green and his featured guest and live Skype calls from viewers.

[6] Although it is intended for the series to showcase Green's more serious side and highlight his skills as an interviewer, he has advised viewers to expect "spontaneous, ridiculous, and outrageous conversations".
