Daniel Tosh - Tosh.0

Before Daniel Tosh would hang out with the stars of the worlds weirdest internet videos. Before Tosh.O would kill it in the ratings and became Comedy Central’s most popular television series. Before he made an offensive rape joke that pissed off a lot of ladies and Internet hot heads. Daniel Dwight Tosh didn’t initially plan on having a career as a comedian – he studied marketing and had a job selling CutCo knives door to door. Daniel Tosh then made the move to LA and would be a commercial actor and stand up comedian – he had plans to end his own life at the age of 38, but by then Tosh.O had taken off. Daniel Dwight Tosh was born on May 29, 1975 in West Germany. He explains his parents were having sex in Europe and birthed him there. He grew up in Titusville Florida, the son of a preacher with two sisters and one brother. Daniel wasn’t a huge fan of school, nor did he get involved in any acting or comedy until much later in life, the dude states that he is socially anxiety and OCD . He attended Astronaut High School in Titusville, Florida and then nearby University of Central Florida with a degree in marketing. There he saw his first stand up act ever, it was Carrot Top. When he graduated school, the jobs he got weren’t really all that appealing – he sold CutCo knives door to door and as a telemarketer at Central Florida Research Park. He did find his calling, landing the role of host on Florida based late night television show known as Tens. When that wrapped he decided to pack his bags and give comedy a shot in sunny California. He started touring the comedy club circuit nation wide almost immediately after he arrived in LA.
