Josh Johnson is a stand-up, Emmy-nominated writer, performer, and NAACP award-winner from
Louisiana by way of Chicago. He is currently a writer on The Daily Show and is a former writer and
performer on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he made his late-night debut. Johnson is
Comedy Central’s ‘most watched comedian ever’ with 40M+ views to date across their platforms.
As a stand-up, Johnson performs at clubs, colleges, and festivals around the world. Johnson was named
Comedy Central’s “Comic to Watch” in 2015, a “New Face” at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in
2016, and “New York's Funniest” in 2018.
Comedy Central released Johnson’s first hour-long special #(Hashtag) in June 2021, and he taped his
second hour-long special at The Bourbon Room in Los Angeles, which premiered February 17, 2023, on
Peacock.
Johnson’s self-released comedy and music mixtape album Elusive, was described by Vanyaland as “live
stand-up observational humor with musical compositions. Both elements wade in and out of political
and social waters between the two “arcs” of the multi-genre epic". Johnson also co-hosts two podcasts,
The Josh Johnson Show (with fellow stand-up Logan Nielsen) and Hold Up (with The Daily Show colleague
Dulcé Sloan).
Johnson’s other credits include, CONAN (TBS), @Midnight, Kevin Hart's Hart of The City, The New
