Those waiting for Josh Johnson’s latest project outside The Daily Show won’t have to wait long.
He recently released his latest film Freshman 15 going behind the scenes with Johnson as he ended his 2023 stand-up run, “The Freshman Tour,” at The Bell House in Brooklyn. The Daily Show correspondent, who’s been prolific on social media and earned 1.6 million followers on TikTok, has lately been focusing on YouTube as a distribution method.
Just two weeks ago, Johnson dropped a 30-minute standup set that quickly climbed into YouTube’s top trending videos list. It has now passed 1.2 million views.
Johnson is currently wrapping up his next tour, “Sophomore Season,” before embarking in 2025 on “The Flowers Tour.”
“The Flowers tour is about giving as many metaphorical, and literal, flowers to the world as possible,” he wrote on Instagram. “We’ve all heard of giving someone their flowers that we admire, but what about each other, and people we haven’t even met yet?”
Johnson first appeared on The Daily Show in October 2023, and was confirmed as a full-fledged correspondent earlier this year. He’d been writing for the show since 2017.
