Fun fact
The Tom Green Show started as public-access television in Ottawa before MTV picked it up — his real parents appeared on it the entire run.
The verdict
Born and raised in Ottawa-area Pembroke, Ontario, and the guy who took a cable-access prank show out of his parents' driveway and turned it into an MTV phenomenon. Born, raised, five points, and yes, that's really his dad's car.
