[2] Daniel Dwight Toshis an American stand-up comedian. He hosts the Comedy Central(born May 29, 1975) [4] television showTosh.0.

Early life [5] Tosh was born in Boppard, Rhineland-Palatinate, West Germany, but grew up in Titusville, Florida, the son of a preacher. After graduating from Astronaut High School in 1993, Tosh attended the University of Central Florida, [6] graduating in December 1996 with a degree in marketing. Among his first jobs was a telemarketer at Central Florida Research Park. He said later, "Hey, $15 an hour to annoy people! I really was not preparing myself for the future at all. I had interviews lined up. I sat through one real interview and I was like, 'I wouldn't hire me.' I left [7] halfway through the orientation. That's the closest thing I ever got to a real job." Tosh moved to Los Angeles, but [8] attributes his decision to work in comedy to being raised in Florida, which he considers "flat, hot, and dumb".

Career He started touring the comedy club circuit almost immediately after graduating college. He appeared as one of the New Faces at the 1998 Just for Laughs in Montreal. His act was televised in 2000 in Montreal at the Th atre [9] Saint-Denis. Tosh's first big career break came in 2001 with a performance on theLate Show with David Letterman. Tosh followed with appearances on programs such asThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno,Jimmy Kimmel [10] Live!and Comedy Central'sPremium Blend. He also hosted a local late-night comedy show in Florida calledTen [11] and served as a spokesman in Taco Bell commercials. In 2003 he performed in his own 30-minute special on

Comedy Central Presents. On June 17, 2007, Comedy Central aired his stand-up special:Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious. He also hosted an episode of Comedy Central'sLive at Gotham. Tosh is also a regular guest onThe Bob & Tom Show. He played a small role in the feature filmThe Love Gurustarring Mike Myers. [12] Tosh's Comedy Central television showTosh.0, which showcases Internet video clips, premiered on June 5, 2009. His mocking humor is described as "envelope pushing" and frequently features punchlines which are intentionally racist, sexist or homophobic. Tosh's explanation of his non-politically correct humor is“I’m not a misogynistic and [13] racist person...But I do find those jokes funny, so I say them.” Tosh has said he plans to end his career on his 38th birthday, May 29, 2013. He has said he will do this by [14][15] [16] committing suicide or retiring to the beach. He keeps a countdown clock on his website, DanielTosh.com , that gives the number of days, minutes, and seconds until his 38th birthday which is when "Daniel's Groundhog Day Ends," a reference to the Bill Murray film. Tosh has described a comic's routine life on the road as "Groundhog [15] Day." Tosh's latest special,Happy Thoughts, premiered on Comedy Central on March 6, 2011, with 3.25 million viewers [17] and a 1.9/5 share. It was later released on DVD as well.

Controversy On July 10, 2012, a blog titledCookies for Breakfastpublished an account by an unnamed woman in which Tosh made a series of jokes about rape at the Laugh Factory. According to the blogger, after she called out "Actually, rape jokes are never funny!", Tosh responded "wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by, like, 5 guys right [18][19] now?". Later that day Tosh claimed the blog post was inaccurate and that he was misquoted, but apologized [20] on Twitter for what he had said. The owner of the comedy club, who was present during Tosh's set, stated that the blog's account of the incident was inaccurate, and that Tosh had rather speculated the woman had "been raped by [21] like, five guys". The event received a degree of media coverage, with anti-sexual assault groups arguing that his [22] actions normalize sexual violence, others pointing out that Tosh has been using misogynistic material in his [23] shows for a long time and comedians Dane Cook, Louis CK, Jim Norton, Stevie Ryan, Patton Oswalt, and Gilbert [24][25] Gottfried defending his right to speak uncensored.

Personal life [26] [27][28] Tosh has one brother and two sisters. Tosh has stated that he suffers from social anxiety.

Philanthropy Tosh has participated in several fundraising events, such as a show for the family of comedian Greg Giraldo and for [29][30] Alabama disaster relief.
