Tad Low (born Josiah Orne Low IV on September 26, 1966) is a creator and producer of television shows, including Pop-Up Video and Pants-Off Dance-Off. He currently helms Spin The Bottle, a multimedia content company based in New York City and is also head of the Spin The Bottle Network, a video-on-demand channel carried by Comcast and Cox cable systems. Low’s work has been noted in the press for its ironic sensibility, and his shows simultaneously critique and celebrate popular culture in all of its banal and sublime incarnations. The paradoxical nature of Low's aesthetic was articulated by New York magazine when it dubbed Pants-Off Dance-Off both "brilliant and lowbrow."
Low is a descendant of one of America's oldest and wealthiest families. His ancestors include clipper-ship magnates who plied the China trade, a former president of Columbia University and a Mayor of New York City.
