Tom Green's Show Expands Online

Comedian Will Do A Nightly Show On The Internet

(AP)  Tom Green can't get enough.

Less than two weeks after ManiaTV.com started streaming Green's live call-in show from his Hollywood Hills living room, Green is turning the weekly show into a nearly nightly deal.

Denver-based ManiaTV will broadcast four original shows a week, with a fifth night of either a repeat or an original episode. More footage could air on Green's own Web site.

ManiaTV and Green originally agreed to a year of hourlong weekly episodes, but Green asked for more time after the first episode June 15. He was live an extra two hours that night. Green has been calling at odd hours ever since, asking to go live soon after each call, ManiaTV spokesman Jason Damata said.

Green broadcast for 8½ hours over the first week.

"So he's, like, hijacking our network, which we're cool with," Damata said. "But we said, 'Do us a favor. Can we at least have some structure?"'

ManiaTV wouldn't release viewership numbers but chief marketing officer Peter Clemente said the audience for Green's 11 p.m. EDT Thursday slot was up 140 percent June 15 over the same time the previous week.

ManiaTV expects 5 million viewers for its site for July.

Green's past guests include actor Jamie Kennedy and Ace Young of "American Idol." Brooke Shields and Andy Dick are scheduled this week, Clemente said.
