Dennis Miller Live first appearance. March 2000 Tom's first appearance on Dennis Miller Live. A "Live" 30 min talk show/Dennis Millers old weekend update schtick from Saturday Night Live (which is cool). Its live on HBO, and usually shown the following week on the Comedy Network in Canada. The shows have theme's, and the show Tom was on was themed "Revenge". The interview went well, Dennis thought Tom was wired.. and commented that his eyes looked like Ban Roll on applicators. The show also has a live Call in aspect to it. Tom wanted to help Dennis out with the cost of phone calls, so he brought out his own personal cell phone and gave the number out on national live television. Someone did call Tom a minute later, making his cell phone ring a pleasent jingle that irrated Dennis. Tom answered, and had a short conversation with the guy.. Dennis told him it "wasnt working" since no one else could hear the conversation between Tom and the caller. Dennis mentions that he has seen some comics do the wide eyed crazy look before, but he feels that Tom's look is the real deal. Smacking his head because he messed up the phone call segment, and because he accidently took Dennis Millers airline bags months prior, Tom felt bad. Dennis told him to keep smacking his head 'cause it was funny. Tom was off on his own material and ignored Dennis. The two also talked about the Racoon incident on Open Mike with Mike Bullard Dennis and Tom both talked about the show without saying Mike Bullard.. which I found a bit cheeky. At least give the guy a plug Tom.. he had you on his show when you were just starting out. Finally, after Dennis wonders what's inside the bag that Tom brought with him (thinking it was a dead animal..) Tom produces a picture of Kris Brown, a writer on Tom's MTV show. He says that if you ever see this guy in Wisonsin.. just FUCK HIM UP. Tom and Dennis both take turns kicking the shit out of the bag of feathers.. as well as calling the bag a mother fucker. FIN back to the top   The Martin Short Show first appearance. February 2000 Tom was on the Martin Short Show. Yes the man who gave us Ed Grimley and Jackie Rogers Jr now has his own Talk show, and no offence to him or anything, but I would never watch the show. Its on at an ungodly hour (9am), and most of the humor made me feel embarrassed. I hate feeling like that. On to the show however; Steve Martin was a guest , and they were only one man short of having a "3 Amigos" reunion.. Chevy Chase! Yes Ned Nederlander (Short), and Lucky Day (Martin) were in fine form, talking about days gone by and having many a laugh. Seemed like they talked about too many inside type joke stories. Hey, share with the audience guys. While introducing Tom, Ned Nederlander of course mentioned the Monica Lewinksy situation.. I was suprised that people were still obsessed with her. Anyway, Ned made an oral sex joke.. saying he hadn’t seen the one hour special, but he heard it was getting great word of mouth. Nice. Is this the same man who played Robin Williams obsessed with Tang in that classic SCTV sketch?. Tom was introduced as "hip", and "cutting edge". Tom was nervous, I would be too. I grew up watching these guys.. Tom stated he was sitting in between the Jerk, and Ed Grimley. Tom laughed alot during his interview. He doesnt do this all the time, only when he finds something actually funny. If you are talking with him in person and telling him something "funny" and he laughs, you did well. If he smiles and looks at the girl with large breasts beside you.. you didnt do that well. Tom had his share of embarrassments as well. Some of the things he did on the show didnt work out that well. The bacon on the face thing didnt do as well as he hoped it would, it was an awkward moment for me as well.. but he did get some laughs. He also pretended to be a robot with the cardboard box he brought the bacon in. Tom knew it didnt "kill". Martin Short and Steve both stated they really loved Toms segments involving his parents; and were genuinely interested in the information Tom had to say about them. They talked alot about Monica Lewinsky, again.. people are still obsessed with her. Tom gave Martin a handbag that Monica made, Steve was sad he didnt get one. Martin asked about different pranks he has pulled on his parents.. including the plaid house, a segment I have never heard of (but sounds great) involving Tom spreading his grandfathers ashes in inappropriate places .. ie in side womens underwear, and "turning your fathers van into a slut mobile by airbrushing a lesbian love scene on the side". We Tom Green Show fans know this is slightly wrong, but Tom didnt bother to correct Martin. He just wanted to move along.. oh and Tom mentioned Canada alot, he is a proud Canadian.. stop flaming him already . When Martin Short asked Tom where he gets his ideas for his "counter culture type humor", Tom explained he never thought of the show as a comedy show.. just of him goofing off with a video camera. Steve Martin offered he was from "another generation of comedy". Yes. Tom told a story about a time when he was 10 years old and his grandmother was visiting. He took blue food coloring and water and put it into a windex bottle. He drank it in front of her, and his grandmother freaked out.. saying "you are gonna die, that has ammonia D in it!" He didnt die, but got a certain amount of joy out of seeing her reaction. And finally, HOLY CRAP, yet another DEREK HARVIE SIGHTING. back to the top
