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. The show's funny and all, but seriously. the guy's a huge douche bag.
History
Tosh.0 premiered on Comedy Central on June 4, 2009, starring Daniel Tosh. It focuses on Internet viral videos, sharing a set-up similar to that of Web Soup. 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.
The show was originally only scheduled for 10 episodes, but as its popularity increased, Comedy Central extended the first season to 16 episodes. On April 8, 2010, Comedy Central confirmed that the show has been renewed for a third season which will begin on January 12, 2011.
Format
Each episode begins with a clip from an online video before the opening credits are shown. Tosh makes humorous comments about the video, and proceeds to do so for a selection of other videos and/or pictures. During this time, for one video or picture, he uses twenty seconds to see how many funny and/or offensive comments he can "post" during that time, acting as if he were commenting on a video sharing site such as YouTube. The last video in this section will go into a "Video Breakdown" segment, where Tosh discusses various elements of said video, pausing several times to comment.
Most episodes feature a "Web Redemption", where Tosh invites a person or group that has a video on the Internet to be on the show. Usually, the video features the person in an embarrassing situation. They are invited to explain their video, interact with Tosh, and recreate the video. During the recreation, the guests will try to place themselves in a more positive light. Besides the Web Redemption, there has also been a "Web Reunion", where a group's video that Tosh enjoys is invited to perform their act again.
Other recurring segments include a segment "Is it Racist?", where Tosh invites people to vote on any racial stereotypes presented in a video. There is also a "User Video of the Week", where viewers of the show can submit their own movies to be shown on the air. The rest of the content in an episode varies, whether it is a video presented by a celebrity guest, a random video that is presented as a weekly video despite it being the only one (Topless Pogo Stunt of the Week, Pedophile of the Week, etc.), or Tosh attempting to recreate a video.
