Production company Recommended has signed Scott Zabielski, director of TV series Tosh.O. Zabielski got his start on Tosh.O (an American TV program hosted by comedian Daniel Tosh) as editor and producer after being noticed during his time on FOX’s Talkshow with Spike Feresten. The Chicago native quickly ended up in the executive producer and director’s seat and has since helmed the show through five seasons, landing it in the number one slot of Comedy Central’s lineup. His experience on Tosh.O underscores his abilities working with comedic actors and VFX.
Zabielski is currently the executive producer and director for season 6 of Tosh.O, and writing and directing Disco Sucks for State Street Pictures. He recently developed the remake of the ‘80s comedy Police Academy for New Line/Warner Bros and directed a commercial for CanadaHelps in 2001.
Prior to Tosh.O, Zabielski helped produce Zach Galifianakis’ VH1 TV series Late World with Zach. Zabielski later went on to edit trailers and promos for a variety of networks and studios including several high profile movies–Batman Begins, Superman and Harry Potter. He also did promos for Rescue Me and Nip/Tuck on FX, Smallville, Charmed, Reba, One Tree Hill, Dawson’s Creek and Angel and Everwood on The WB, Medium on NBC, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy on Bravo, The Pickup Artist on VH1, Grey’s Anatomy on ABC and House on Fox. Additionally, Zabielski edited commercial work for Ford, Chevy and Axe Body Spray.
Zabielski graduated with honors and a BA in Cinema Production from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.
