Career: The Tom Green Show became a hit and was picked up by a national channel, The Comedy Network. In 1998, MTV took notice and began airing the show in America, where his outrageous antics won him a huge fan base. The series came to an end the following year. In 2000, the comedian was diagnosed with testicular cancer and he turned his experiences into an MTV show, The Tom Green Cancer Special, to raise awareness about the condition. He has since starred in films including Superstar, Road Trip and Charlie's Angels, although Freddy Got Fingered, which he co-wrote, directed and starred in, flopped in 2001. He returned to MTV for several months in 2003 with The New Tom Green Show. He started making rap music again in 2005 returned to doing stand-up comedy in 2010.
