The first incarnation of The Tom Green Show began in September 1994 as a cable access program on Rogers Television 22 in the Ottawa region until 1996. The show would later be picked up by Canada's Comedy Network in 1997 and then MTV in January 1999, where he gained popularity in the United States. The Tom Green Show was a variety show format, where he would have guests visit the studio and bands play before a live audience. He ... had taped segments that typically consisted of stunts played by Green on unsuspecting people. A number of them involved Green's parents, Mary Jane and Richard Green, who consistently appeared as unamused and occasionally angered by Tom's antics.

Yesterday’s news of Tom Green Live’s (which seems to have been renamed in the media to The Tom Green Show) future simulcast on traditional TV has caused quite a stir on insider websites across the National Internet. Among the many reports comes one from Variety, the grand-daddy of all Hollywood business rags, which revealed several new details on how the roll-out of the show on the boob-tube will play out…

Tom Green ... wrote a song called "Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)", which he composed during MTV's Spring Break while doing a show on a cruise ship. After airing the music video on his show and appealing to his audience to request it, the song became an instant number one hit on Total Request Live. Tom Green quickly called for the video to be retired because "it's not fair to 98 Degrees." Later, in his autobiography, he revealed that MTV had pressured him to do so in order to maintain the image that Total Request Live was, in fact, a live request show (the next week's episodes had been pre-taped on location, and the producers of the show were completely unaware of "The Bum Bum Song" at the time).

According to some tabloid reports Green grew annoyed by Barrymore's increasingly neurotic behaviour in private. On October 13, 2001, Drew Barrymore hosted Saturday Night Live and Tom Green appeared in the audience wearing a gas mask. The episode came just a month after the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York City, where SNL is produced. Reportedly, Barrymore was already anxious about flying to New York. When news broke that NBC's Rockefeller Center studios where they were rehearsing had received a package containing anthrax, Barrymore fled the set in tears, vowing never to return.
