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 in the style of Web Soup.[1] 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]
During the second season, Daniel Tosh invited his viewers to update his wikipedia page, promising to share the best submissions on his show. The Tosh.0 page was temporarily frozen due to the excessive amount of inappropriate entries. Tosh issued a heartfelt apology during the following week's episode and reprimanded viewers. He then showed screen shots of his favorite changes to this wikipedia page.
