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. 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.
The show was originally only scheduled for 10 episodes, but as its popularity increased, Comedy Central extended the first season to 16 episodes.
Comedy Central confirmed a second season consisting of 25 episodes.
Summary
Tosh.0 presents clips from the web, usually involving embarrassing accidents,failed stunts, "unattractive" people or successful but wholly unique stunts often accompanied by humorous commentary from the shows host "Tosh".
Controversy
The host of the show commonly "pushes the limits" often on the subjects of racism, sexuality and religion. The producers of the show faced a lawsuit after a segment called "Is it Racist", wherein Tosh.0 displayed a video of an African American male counting large sums of money and displaying gold chains while speaking Ebonics, after which Tosh present a video of himself displaying his financial portfolio, ending the segment asking "Is it racist?" and inviting viewers to visit "comedycentral.com/tosh.0/whitesrule".
