People Mentioned in This Biography

He is recognized for his purposefully insulting and provocative style of black humor and being the star of stand-up comedy tours and specials, in addition to Tosh.0.

Background and Age

Daniel Tosh was born in 1975 in Boppard, West Germany. He is the son of a Presbyterian minister. He was raised in Titusville, Florida, along with four siblings in a conservative household. Even though he would grow up to be a foul-mouthed comedian, cursing was prohibited in his childhood home.

Tosh attended the University of Central Florida, receiving a degree in Marketing, which he briefly used when working as a telemarketer for Central Florida Research Park. After that short-lived and self-proclaimed failure at pursuing a business career, Tosh began to work in the competitive world of stand-up comedy.

Marriage and Wife

In 2009, Daniel Tosh was seen in public for the first time with his former girlfriend, Megan Abrigo. In 2014, there were rumors that the couple separated. Apparently, during his relationship with Megan, Tosh once talked impolitely about her in front of an audience. This was considered the beginning of the end of their relationship.

After his split with Megan, several rumors tagged Daniel as gay. There were a few pictures of him with a guy who was allegedly his boyfriend. He also once joked about having sexual engagements with his male friends. This incident fueled a rumor mill and spawned even more gossip talk around Daniel's sexual preferences. In an audience interview on his show, Tosh was once asked why guys are against getting married. He responded: 'I'm not against it, but marriage is for gay people… it's just stupid!'

Daniel Tosh married an actress named Carly Hallam in 2016.
