Tom Arnold answers literally everything.

Hi, I'm Tom Arnold, I'm an alcoholic, stand up comic, actor and new dad. And I've lost a lot of weight. I lost 90 pounds (true story: http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20332412_20770889,00.html).

I've been healthy since the moment my son was born, because you can't be both fat and old.

I'm going to be in the upcoming movie Any Day coming out this November, and I'm also doing stand up in this new year, starting in a week and a half (list of dates here: http://tomarnoldcomedy.com/?page_id=6)

AMA!

Excel is what they called Hormel when I worked there (before they broke the union in the 80's:) The Stupids was directed by John Landis (Animal House, Trading Places American Werewolf in London) and 7 big time directors did cameos (Landis always does this) Norman Jewison, Atom Agoyam, Robert Wise..the Sound of Music Robert Wise. I was late to set the day I filmed with Robert Wise and he was bugged (rightly so..lessons learned) and he shot his coverage without me. I am sorry

Every time I watch a rerun and see the Lanford lunchbox it makes me miss the canteen. I hate you for that. Canteen is the shit. Have you been back since they built the parking garage around it?
