Early life and family

Educational background

Career
Carly started her writing career in 2009 when she joined the team of writers for the “Tosh.0” show, hosted by her future husband Daniel Tosh. She did her best to establish a good name, and even tried herself as an actress in the movie called “New Low” (2010), in which she landed the role of a movie starlet. However, this experience helped her to understand that she wanted to be behind the cameras and keep on writing, even though she later appeared in several episodes of the “Tosh.0” show, playing minor roles.
Since 2013 she has been working as the screenwriter of the super-popular comedy show entitled “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (2013 – 2021), which helped her to become famous and well-known in the circles of screenwriters and producers. Even though she received many offers from other shows, she stayed with the projects she constantly worked for – “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Tosh.0”, as they were her most stable income sources.
Carly then wrote for “The Neighbourhood” TV series in 2021-23
She also tried to write comic articles for such online sources as McSweeney’s – her article entitled “10 Ways To Wear That Little Black Dress In Your Closet” was posted there on 6 December 2017 and attracted a lot of views, even though it was far from being serious – it was a list of jokes about absurd situations for wearing a classy little black dress.
Personal life, husband Daniel Tosh

The couple haven’t revealed the precise date of their first meeting, but it’s obvious that they probably met on the set of the “Tosh.0” show, as Carly has been working there since 2009, while Daniel is the creator of the show and recruited the authors himself. Carly and Daniel seem not to mention the gap between their ages, as Daniel is 10 years older than Carly.

However, his true fame spread around the world after his performance on “The Late Show” hosted by David Letterman – his successful performance gained him access to such popular shows as “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, “Premium Blend” on Comedy Central, and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. Later he hosted his own shows called “Tosh.0” and “Daniel Tosh: Happy Thoughts” launched on Comedy Central, and became the producer of such shows as “Brickleberry” and his own project, “Tosh.0”.
