Comedian Tom Green grows up ... sort of

tomgreen.com

Standup comedy and a Canadian cable access TV show landed Tom Green a show on MTV back in the 90's. His goofy demeanor and practical jokes made him a star.

These days, he’s back on the standup circuit, with four shows Friday and Saturday at the Connxtions Comedy Club in Lansing.

Current State’s Scott Pohl recently talked with Tom Green about the silliness of his early work, and what his comedy is like now that he’s a little older. Green says he's working on a project that will return him to American television.
