Comedy Central and Daniel Tosh have agreed to a contract extension for three additional seasons of Tosh.0, it was announced today by Kent Alterman, President of Comedy Central. The new seasons of Tosh.0 will keep Comedy Central’s Tuesday night anchor in originals through 2020 with the 10th season to debut on Tuesday, March 27 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
“Knowing when to move on in show business is highly overrated,” said Tosh in a statement. Meanwhile, Altermain said, “I know it makes Daniel uncomfortable to publicly acknowledge our love and affection for each other, but we couldn’t be more thrilled to extend our relationship with him.”
Tosh.0 premiered on June 4, 2009 and features razor-sharp humor and biting commentary from comedian Daniel Tosh. The weekly, topical series delves into all aspects of the Internet from the absolutely absurd to the incredibly ingenious. Each episode includes a “CeWEBrity Profile” or Tosh giving subjects of notorious viral videos a second chance to redeem themselves from the embarrassment with which they have become synonymous with their very own “Web Redemption.”
Tosh.0 is executive produced by Tosh, Charlie Siskel, Nick Malis and Christie Smith. Monika Zielinska is the executive in charge of production for Comedy Central. The über-popular Tosh.0 Facebook page (9.1M) is one of Comedy Central’s most-visited properties, which continues to be updated daily with viral web posts, web-exclusive video and show content, plus interactive features. Fans can follow Tosh on Twitter (27.4M) and Tosh.0 on Instagram (46.8K).
Comedy Central is the home for stand-up, featuring original one-hour specials from a wide variety of incredibly talented comedians including Amy Schumer, Daniel Tosh, Pete Davidson, Kyle Kinane, Lewis Black, Hannibal Buress, Natasha Leggero, Chris Hardwick, Brian Regan, and more, as well as a diverse slate of original series ranging from the part-stand-up/part-travelogue Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City, to long-form storytelling show This Is Not Happening, to super-sized stand-up exhibition Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents, to insult-comedy competition Jeff Ross Presents: Roast Battle.
