Bronx natives Desus Nice and The Kid Mero are a comedy duo made for the internet age. They met during summer school but reconnected years later on Twitter where their jokes earned them a sense of Twitter royalty. Their combined following on Twitter currently clocks in at more than a million and that popularity led them to host gigs with MTV2 and an unscripted late night show on Viceland where they discuss politics and pop culture with featured guests.

In 2019, the duo will bring their brand to Showtime where they’ll host the network’s first weekly late-night show.
