Ottawa-born comedian Tom Green, who has been broadcasting over the internet for the past 18 months, is taking his Tom Green's House Tonight show to conventional TV beginning Monday.

Tom Green's House Tonight is a late-night talk show, with celebrity guests turning up or chatting interactively with Green. As the name suggests, the whole thing is broadcast from Green's Los Angeles home.

The gross-out king who starred in such movies as Freddy Got Fingered and the TV series The Tom Green Show is still aiming to make viewers laugh.

But Tom Green's House Tonight  is a real talk show and Green has matured since making his name as a comedian who would do almost anything.

On the show, Green sits in his own living room with his parrot and answers viewer questions, while guests occasionally drop in.

He's had Steve-O from Jackass, Andrew Dice Clay, Tom Bergeron, Dr. Drew, Val Kilmer, Brooke Shields and Bob Saget on Tom Green Live, the internet incarnation of the show.

It's produced without the aid of writers, or even a camera crew — Green himself turns the internet-based studio on.

Tom Green Live has been an unlikely hit on tomgreen.com and internet TV network ManiaTV.com.

Tom Green's House Tonight is a pared-down version of Tom Green Live, which will continue to run online.

The studio has been upgraded for TV, but the show is still improv-based.

Tom Green's House Tonight will air at 10 p.m. weeknights on the Comedy Network.
