Tad Low (born Josiah Orne Low IV on September 26, 1966) is an American businessman and media entrepreneur. He is the 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. 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.〔Dewan, Shaila. "TV's Bad Boy, Underground and Underfoot" ''The New York Times'', September 8, 2000〕〔Sanders, Adrienne. "Wise Guys" ''Forbes'', December 14, 1998,〕〔Jacobs, A.J. "Pop-Up Culture" ''Entertainment Weekly'', December 19, 1997〕 The paradoxical nature of Low's aesthetic was articulated by ''New York'' magazine when it dubbed ''Pants-Off Dance-Off'' both "brilliant and lowbrow."〔''New York Magazine'', "The Approval Matrix" May 29, 2006, p. 74〕 ==Personal history== A son of Penelope Ireland Low and Josiah Orne Low III, he was born and raised in Connecticut,〔 a direct descendant of the Lows, once one of America's wealthiest families.
