Tosh.0 (pronounced /ˈtɒʃ ˈpɔɪnt ˈoʊ/) is an American television series hosted by comedian Daniel Tosh, who provides sarcastic commentary on not only various online video clips, but society, celebrities, and several other parts of popular culture.
History
Tosh.0 premiered on Comedy Central on June 4, 2009, starring Daniel Tosh. It focuses on internet viral video, sharing a set-up similar to that of Web Soup.[1] Both shows are styled after The Soup, of which Web Soup is a spin-off. The first season proved a surprise hit, averaging over a million viewers per episode. Within 10 weeks of its premiere, Tosh.0 became the second most watched cable network show in its time slot among 18-34 year old males, a sought after advertising demographic.[2]
The show was originally only scheduled for 10 episodes, but as its popularity increased, Comedy Central extended the first season to 16 episodes.[3]
Comedy Central confirmed a second season consisting of 25 episodes.[4]
On an episode airing March 13, 2010, Daniel Tosh encouraged viewers to add to and edit the Tosh.0 Wikipedia page. In response, one fan posted the following: "Daniel Tosh totally has back tits." Editors quickly removed the comment, which was re-added repeatedly by raving fans.
