Tom Green is a comedian, host, actor, and filmmaker from Canada. His claim to fame is The Tom Green Show, which started from a local Canadian network and later took MTV by storm. The show made his particular brand of shock comedy very popular and Tom Green a household name in the 1990s.

A brief description of the documentary on Prime Video reads:

"From outrageous stunts to a life-changing cancer battle and his decision to trade Hollywood for an Ottawa farm, this is Tom Green like never before. Follow the comedy legend through his most personal moments as he navigates fame, faces illness, and embraces a quieter, more grounded life."

The documentary is produced by Tom Green through Tom Green Productions Canada, along with Rory Rosegarten, David Fortier, Ivan Schneeberg, Todd Lubin, Jack Turner, and Chris Mullington.

Who is Tom Green? What we know from the trailer

The trailer for This is the Tom Green Documentary opens with the comedian making a cliched declaration about it being the first day of the rest of his life. We then see some clips from his old show, The Tom Green Show, followed by a shot of his house in Hollywood, California. He explains how he has moved away from Hollywood after 20 years to live on a farm in Canada with his family.

We see glimpses of his farm life in the trailer, including his dog Charlie, and other animals. The trailer ends with yet another round of clips from his show, while Green says in the voiceover that it is a relief to finally be able to tell his story.

This is the Tom Green Documentary follows the comedian's rise to fame and his fight against testicular cancer, which briefly impeded his career. The documentary will also touch upon the comedian's brief marriage to actress Drew Barrymore (known for E.T. the Extra Terrestrial and Scream) and how they reconnected on her show.

The documentary then circles back to his present life on a 100-acre property on White Lake in Central Frontenac, Ontario, Canada, close to where he grew up. He moved here in 2021 in the aftermath of COVID-19.
