Josh Johnson Biography

Josh Johnson, a renowned figure in the American comedy industry, is best known for his work on "The Daily Show." Johnson's journey with the show began in 2017 as a staff writer, and he steadily climbed the ranks to become a correspondent in 2024, subsequently entering the weekly rotation of hosts in 2025. Prior to his tenure with "The Daily Show," Johnson honed his comedic skills as a writer and performer on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

In addition to his television career, Johnson has achieved significant success in the stand-up comedy circuit. This includes touring with Trevor Noah on the "Loud & Clear" tour and earning the title of New York's Funniest Stand Up at the New York Comedy Festival in 2018. He has also released two hour-long comedy specials: "#" (Hashtag) in 2021 and "Up Here Killing Myself" in 2023, both of which were well-received by audiences and critics alike.

Johnson's talent extends beyond the stage and into the digital realm. His comedic story "Catfishing the KKK" has amassed over 13 million views on YouTube, demonstrating his wide-reaching appeal. His presence on the Netflix stand-up comedy series "The Comedy Lineup" and his voice role as Harry Buns on the Disney Channel series "Kiff," which premiered in March 2023, further showcase his versatility as a comedian. Johnson also maintains a strong connection with his fans through his personal YouTube channel, where he consistently shares routines from his open mics and performances at the Comedy Cellar and on his running tours since 2023.
