The Life and Death of Tosh.0

Tosh.0 undoubtedly left a strong impact on my sense of humor and taste in comedy. The show dominated Tuesday nights in ratings and in January of 2020, host Daniel Tosh signed a deal with Comedy Central for 4 more seasons and additional opportunities.

However, this decision was reversed in August and Tosh.0 was effectively cancelled, concluding with an abbreviated 12th season throughout the rest of 2020. While it’s easy to assume the show fell victim to the notable and unprecedented things that’ve happened this year, Tosh.0 may have also been discarded due to a lack of support from new executives. Surprisingly, a bunch of people assumed the show had already ended years prior upon hearing news of its cancellation. Join me in taking a nostalgic look at this show and examining why it worked. It joined the likes of South Park, The Daily Show, and the Colbert Report in becoming a mainstay of Comedy Central. Daniel’s charisma, background in standup comedy, embrace of internet culture, and risky nature all contributed to the show’s success and popularity. How does it stack up to similar shows that showcase home movies and internet clips? MTV's Ridiculousness with Rob Dyrdek is the closest contender, but America's Funniest Home Videos and The Soup with Joel McHale aren't far behind. I’ll never forget watching Web Redemptions and learning about eccentric individuals like the rapper Krispy Kreme (now known as Froggy Fresh) and Bryan Silva (aka Gratata). Here’s to hoping that the show can find a new home on another channel or streaming service.
