The Ottawa native joined frontman Fred Durst on stage to perform the band’s 2000 hit, "Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle)," marking a nostalgic crossover between two defining figures of the late 1990s MTV era.
A Reunion of Y2K Pop Culture Staples
The appearance brought together two prominent faces from the turn of the millennium. Limp Bizkit’s music videos were a constant presence on MTV’s Total Request Live (TRL) during the band’s commercial peak, while The Tom Green Show served as a cornerstone of the network’s edgy, prank-heavy programming from 1999 to 2000.
According to footage from the event, Green walked onto the stage wearing denim overalls and a full gray beard. After engaging with the crowd, he performed the song alongside Durst. The collaboration was a homecoming for Green, who maintains a residence in the Ottawa Valley.
Current Projects and Touring Schedules
While both acts rose to fame during the same period, their current professional paths have diverged. Green has shifted his focus toward digital media and rural living. He recently launched a talk series titled The Tom Green Farm and its companion, The Tom Green Farmcast, both of which are distributed through the platform Crave.
Limp Bizkit remains active on the touring circuit. The band is currently engaged in a series of North American festival dates throughout the summer and fall of 2024. Their upcoming schedule includes appearances at:
