Fox Stations To Launch ‘Tosh.0’ In 9 Markets

The Comedy Central video clip show Tosh.0 with comedian Daniel Tosh will debut in broadcast syndication this fall on launch group Fox TV Stations in nine of its markets, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, distributor Debmar-Mercury confirmed today.

The weekly half-hour show, which launched its seventh season on Comedy Central last month and averages about 2.1 million viewers per episode, will air on Fox TV Stations and other station groups primarily as a Monday-Friday strip in latenight time slots or on weekends. Stations can air back-to-back episodes.

“Tosh.0 is a terrific show, marketed creatively,” said Frank Cicha, SVP of programming at Fox Television Stations, in a statement. “I love the scheduling flexibility this deal brings.”

On the frequently raunchy show, Tosh acts in sketch comedy routines and tells jokes about online videos in front of a studio audience.

“We’re excited to have the Fox Television Stations on board as the anchor broadcast group and to once again team with our South Park partners at Comedy Central on another absurd, incredibly ingenious series that has such a loyal fan base,” said Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein, co-presidents of Lionsgate-owned Debmar-Mercury, in a statement. “Daniel Tosh is one of the funniest and most talented comedians on television today, and we believe his highly rated Tosh.0 will provide the perfect companion to sitcoms.”
