Tom Green has been given a late-night online talk show – and a brief to go "completely uncensored".

The comedian, whose first show was axed by MTV nearly three years ago, will host a weekly phone in from June 15.

Tom Green Live will broadcast on ManiaTV.com from his Hollywood Hills mansion and has been commissioned for 50 one-hour episodes.

"It seemed like the ultimate playground for someone like me," Green commented. "I've always enjoyed doing goofy experimental stuff that sometimes was too weird to put on a TV show but was fun artistically."

Since losing his last programme Green has been regularly posting videos of his home-made stunts on his own website - where his new work will also be posted.

ManiaTV spokesman Richard Ayoub confirmed he would be given "complete and total creative control".

"We have no standards and practices," he explained. "He is going to be completely uncensored. That's what we can give him that MTV never could."
