06.02.09 DANIEL TOSH GIVES AFRO NINJA REDEMPTION

Daniel Tosh’s new Comedy Central show, “Tosh.0,” premieres Thursday night, and every episode will feature a video called “Web Redemption,” in which Tosh tracks down someone who attained Internet infamy and gives them a second chance to prove themselves. In this clip, Afro Ninja proves he isn’t just some guy who can’t do a back flip. It gets a thumbs-up from me.

More info:

“Tosh.0″ goes deep into the Web, spinning commentary about blogs and vlogs both popular and obscure, tweets and pokes, popular sites and new technologies. In addition, the series will feature viral clips of the week, premiere its own original videos created by and starring well-known actors and comedians, as well as highlight a weekly “Viewer’s Choice” video.

Psssh. A TV show about the Internet? What’s next, a Web site about TV? Oh.

The Whole F'n Show says:

Is it strange that I found that more inspiring (by far) than Susan Boyle? A clearly accomplished, incredibly athletic guy getting a chance to show people he is more than just a failmeme…truly, America is still great.

I like Tosh too, but many great stand up comics don’t seem to make the transition to TV or movies well.

This is great. I used to work with Mark Hicks’ brother a couple years ago. I’m going to send him the URL. Mark was pretty sour about the whole video leaking (because it was a closed audition and not a good representation of his work) but eventually he got over and even embraced the Afro Ninja meme. He even got a movie made, http://afroninjathemovie.com/.
