Tosh.0
“Tosh.0” will end its run on Comedy Central after its upcoming twelfth season, this is despite the fact that the network picked the show up for four mores seasons back in January as part of series host Daniel Tosh’s overall deal.

The ten episode new season debuts September 15th and ViacomCBS is reportedly working with Tosh and his team to shop the series to other outlets. The series first began airing on Comedy Central in 2009 and will have run for over 250 episodes upon its completion. [Source: Variety]
