ManiaTV!, an Internet-based television network, has signed shock comic and talk show host Tom Green to a weekly deal for his new show, “Tom Green Live”, to be aired on www.ManiaTV.com starting next week.


The network has given the controversial Green, who hosted a show on MTV until three years ago, complete creative control over the program, which represents the first-ever live celebrity talk show online. Green signed on for 50 one-hour episodes for an undisclosed fee.


Starting June 15, the program will broadcast live from Green’s Hollywood Hills home at 8 p.m. Pacific on Thursday nights both on the network’s Web site and Green’s own web site. The show is available free worldwide to any viewer with an internet connection, and will feature celebrity interviews, live viewer call-ins, and man-on-the-street video segments. Archived episodes also will be available at each site.


The deal, announced this week, was brokered by Massey, Lewis Henderson of William Morris and Howard Lapides and Jackie Stern of The Core.
