A Plea From a Member of the '51st State'
Briefly

Comedian Tom Green, known for The Tom Green Show and Freddie Got Fingered, is Canadian, which surprises many fans. Returning to Ontario after 21 years in the U.S., he aims to reinforce his identity. His new ventures, including an Amazon Prime show and a stand-up special, reflect his Canadian roots. Amid U.S.-Canada tensions, he released "I'm a Canadian" to clarify his identity and addressed the impact of U.S. policies during his stand-up tour, noting how audiences react when they discover he's Canadian.
I'm on tour in the U.S. right now - a tour that was planned a year ago, long before the tariffs were implemented. I'll run into people who have been fans of mine for years, and they don't realize I'm Canadian, because Americans don't really pay attention to that stuff. The No. 1 thing that people say to me when they find out that I'm Canadian is, "We're sorry about what's going on right now. This isn't our choice."
Green expressed his pride in being Canadian and reflected on how his comedy has been shaped by his identity and experience straddling both cultures.
