The "Tosh.0" Blog (comedycentral.com/tosh) Will Continue To Offer New Content During The Hiatus With Daily Chances To Interact With Daniel Tosh And The Show

NEW YORK, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The show that everyone diggs and laughs their Facebook off continues as COMEDY CENTRAL orders additional episodes of the weekly series "Tosh.0," it was announced today by Lauren Corrao, president, original programming and development, COMEDY CENTRAL. The first of six new episodes of "Tosh.0" will debut on Thursday, October 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

"Tosh.0," which premiered the first of 10 episodes on June 4, 2009, has averaged over one million total viewers during its first season. In its timeslot (Thursday, 10:00-10:30 p.m.), the series ranks #2 with both Men 18-24 and Men 18-34, vs. all of cable.

"Daniel Tosh is the perfect host to take on the Web with his sarcastic wit and deadpan demeanor," said Corrao. "We're looking forward to Tosh and the show continuing to accentuate the vast, eccentric and ridiculously entertaining entities on the Internet."

"Tosh.0" features the razor sharp humor and biting commentary from comedian Daniel Tosh and delves into all aspects of the Internet from the absolutely absurd to the incredibly ingenious in this weekly, topical series. In addition, the series features viral clips of the week and original videos created by and starring well-known actors and comedians. Each episode features the segment "Web Redemption," which gives subjects of infamous viral videos (i.e. Afro Ninja and Miss Teen South Carolina 2007) a second chance to redeem themselves from the embarrassment with which they've become synonymous.

The "Tosh.0" blog (comedycentral.com/tosh) will maintain its presence by offering users new content during the hiatus with daily chances to interact with Tosh and the show.

On the film front, Tosh was featured in Mike Myers' 2008 release, "The Love Guru."
