Daniel Tosh

Daniel Dwight Tosh (born May 29, 1975) is an American comedian, writer, and producer. After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a degree in marketing, Tosh moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy. His career accelerated in 2001 after a performance on the Late Show with David Letterman. He went on to appear in other national shows, leading to his own 30-minute special on Comedy Central Presents two years later.

From 2009 to 2020, Tosh was the host of the Comedy Central series Tosh.0, a showcase of popular Internet video clips with the addition of Tosh's narrative comedic dialogue. He is also known for his deliberately offensive and controversial style of black comedy and as the star of stand-up comedy tours and specials. He was born in Boppard, Rhineland-Palatinate, West Germany to American parents and grew up in Titusville, Florida, the son of a Presbyterian minister.

Tosh started touring the comedy club circuit almost immediately after graduating from college and appeared as one of the "New Faces" at the 1998 Just for Laughs in Montreal. His special Daniel Tosh: Happy Thoughts premiered on Comedy Central on March 6, 2011. In November 2023, Tosh started a podcast called Tosh Show on YouTube and Apple Podcasts. He married writer Carly Hallam on April 17, 2016 at a private ceremony in Malibu, California, and they have two children.
