Said Alterman, "We believe 'Tosh.0' has the potential to resonate with our audience, and we want to give it time to connect."

Said Tosh, "I am extremely fortunate and very grateful that I can continue to work with such fun and talented people on a very supportive network. Sorry for the lack of snark - I will leave that open for the comments section."

Currently in its fifth season, which concludes tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, "Tosh.0" ranks as the #1 entertainment series on all of television on Tuesday nights among Men 18-24 during its fall run and continues its break-out ratings success for Comedy Central, averaging 3.0 million total viewers and a 2.2 Adults 18-49 rating across its current season*.

"Tosh.0" premiered on June 4, 2009 and features razor-sharp humor and biting commentary from comedian Daniel Tosh. The weekly, topical series delves into all aspects of the Internet from the absolutely absurd to the incredibly ingenious.
