Although born in West Germany, Daniel spent his childhood in Titusville, Florida, being raised by his Presbyterian minister father. He went to Astronaut High School, from which he matriculated in 1993, after which he enrolled at the University of Central Florida. Daniel finished his studies in 1996 with a degree in marketing.
Though realizing he has a talent for comedy immediately after college, Daniel worked at Central Florida Research Park as a telemarketer, but after being tired of the everyday job, Daniel quit and moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of a career as a comedian. However, his first appearance was in Montreal, at the 1998 Just For Laughs, and only after several years of club performing did Daniel made his breakthrough when he appeared in the “Late Show with David Letterman” in 2001, which brought the attention of several other variety show hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel, in whose show he appeared in 2003. The following year he made his first appearance in “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, which certainly increased his popularity and wealth.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t until 2009 that he became a celebrity, when Comedy Central gave him his own show “Tosh.0”, after a successful TV special in 2007, entitled “Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious”, which he wrote and also produced. Another special followed in 2011 – “Daniel Tosh: Happy Thoughts” – further increasing his net worth. Most recently, Daniel filmed another comedy special “Daniel Tosh: People Pleaser” in 2016.
Aside from his work as a comedian, he is also an accomplished actor; back in 1998 he made his debut in a minor role in the TV series “Sins of the City”, while his best-known role is that of Malloy in the TV series “Brickleberry” (2012-2015), while he also had a notable role in Mike Myers’ written film “The Love Guru” in 2008.
Regarding his personal life, Daniel was in a relationship with Megan Abrigo from 2009 until 2011. According to recent reports, he is currently single. Regardless, he is something of a philanthropist, including participating in efforts contributing to Alabama disaster relief.
As with many comedians or comic actors, Daniel suffers somewhat from anxiety, usually in social environments, but occasionally having an effect on his public performance, and he doesn’t involve himself in public speaking.
