While growing up, Tom got to live in places such as Minneapolis, Milwaukee, as well as Vero Beach, Florida. For his education, the Disgraceful comedian went to the Lenoir-Rhyne University. After he was through with his education, he decided to become a comedian. He later revealed that his journey to the comedy world was in a bid to hold in all his frustrations.
Tom had a rather interesting life which was not without its many problems. He almost lost his life at the age of 18 when he took a drug overdose that later put him in a coma. It was his sister who called an ambulance in an attempt to help save his life. The only thing that helped him to survive was the fact that he was fat.

More so, he is also very popular when it comes to podcasts like “The Joe Rogan Experience” and “WTF with Marc Maron.” He also has his podcast, “Your Mom’s House” which he runs with his wife, Christina Pazsitzky. The podcast has a lot of very dedicated followers and it was inspired by Rogan who also has a very successful podcast. Rogan got Segura and his wife to start the comic podcast after realizing that both of them are into the same thing.
Segura has not been without his controversies as people have written to Netflix to censor the Disgraceful comedian’s show on its platform. Different individuals and campaigners including the Canadian Down Syndrome Society have accused him of hate speech after he used the word retarded in a joke.

Height and Body Weight (Weight Loss)
Now a father, the comedian joked that he would need to try out and lose weight because he doesn’t want his children being called out in school for their father being fat. The Irony though is that as pointed out, his weight was one of the things that saved his life as a teenager when he overdosed.
