T minus 48 (hours) to Tom Green

Posted: 03:31 PM ET

All systems are go for Eric's virtual visit with comedian Tom Green!

This whole thing started on August 7th when I got this email from Eric:
"Hey, I need you to do something...try and use your contacts and find TOM GREEN's publicist...his new web show is huge..."

I don't know what made Eric think that I have any "contacts," I don't think watching Showbiz Tonight twice a day counts as having contacts... but after making a few phone calls (my first ever calls to the big talent agencies) I found Tom's agent. Turns out that Tom is a big CNN fan and would be happy to be on "News To Me" to talk about "Tom Green's House Tonight!" Coordinating Producer Mike Kane took over from there and about a week later Eric and Tom were virtual face to virtual face on the set of "Tom Green's House Tonight." That "set" by the way, is in the living room of Tom's actual home in the Hollywood Hills!

I'll leave it to Eric to talk about why he was so excited to have Tom Green on the show in tomorrow's blog post. Suffice it to say that he's a fan (Tom you may want to look into a restraining order).

Here's the problem. Now that I've delivered on Tom Green, Eric has a whole list of celebrity guests he wants on the show. So Lindsay Lohan, Bear Grylls, Will Ferrell and Sir Richard Branson, if you are out there, CALL ME!
