Glass is currently on the road performing nationally with comedian/actor David Spade and made his move to the big screen, starring in indie films "Save the Mavericks" and "Cook Off!" Glass is working on his next show, "Todd Glass Saves America." This passion-driven show will follow Glass as he travels America searching for wrongs and injustice in everything from social issues to cell phone etiquette. Previously released recordings by COMEDY CENTRAL Records include: Dane Cook's "ISolated INcident," Cook's platinum- selling "Harmful If Swallowed" and double-platinum "Retaliation," Mitch Hedberg's "Do You Believe in Gosh?," Grammy Award- winning, "Lewis Black: The Carnegie Hall Performance," Grammy Award nominees' Steven Wright's "I Still Have A Pony" and George Lopez's "American's Mexican," Joe Rogan's "Shiny Happy Jihad", Christopher Titus's "5th Annual End Of The World Tour," Norm MacDonald's "Ridiculous," Demetri Martin's "These Are Jokes," "Jim Gaffigan: Beyond The Pale," Mike Birbiglia's "My Secret Public Journal Live," D.L.

  • ABSTRACT a Polysemic Exploration of Stereotypes and Racial Humor In
    ABSTRACT A Polysemic Exploration of Stereotypes and Racial Humor in Tosh.0 Benjamin K. Murray, M.A. Mentor: Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D. This case study uses content and rhetorical analyses to address the neutralizing effects of performance strategies used in the racially charged humor of “Tosh.0.” Selected clips were analyzed and discussed through the lens of Ambivalence Theory, which supports the idea that multiple meanings are possible and probable in comedic content due to the incongruous nature of humorous discourses. The researcher viewed multiple clips of the show and coded them based on stereotype, humor theory and performance strategy. Findings indicate that Tosh.0 employs racial stereotypes unequally throughout the show with the greatest amount of negative stereotypes aimed at Blacks. Daniel Tosh also utilized Superiority Theory most frequently with his jokes and depended heavily on “Distance and Disclaimer” methods to avoid accusations of racism. A content analysis of specific clips highlights the polysemic nature of the humor in Tosh.0, meaning that interpretations differ based on the inherent views of the person watching. A Polysemic Exploration of Stereotypes and Racial Humor in Tosh.0 by Benjamin K. Murray, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of Journalism, Public Relations and New Media Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D., Chairperson Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Baylor University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Approved by the Thesis Committee Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D. Robert F.
