Description

Desus & Mero is a late-night talk show on Viceland that originally premiered in October 2016, starring podcasters and comedic duo Desus Nice and The Kid Mero. The show has gained a reputation for its irreverent humor, cultural commentary, and emphasis on the duo's personalities.

Each episode of Desus & Mero features a mix of monologue-style segments, interviews with guests, and recurring sketches and games. The show often begins with the hosts riffing on the day's news and pop culture events, offering their unique perspective on everything from politics to celebrity drama.

Desus and Mero's unfiltered opinions and casual, conversational style have made them popular with fans of all ages, and their show has become a platform for comedians, musicians, politicians, and activists to share their views and interact with the hosts.

One of the show's most popular recurring segments is "The Number," in which Desus and Mero take a deep dive into a surprising or obscure statistic and riff off it for several minutes. Another fan favorite is "Desus vs. Mero," a segment in which the two hosts debate various topics such as which fast food chain is the best or which Marvel character would win in a fight.

The chemistry between Desus and Mero is a major draw for fans of the show. The two have been friends since childhood and their affectionate banter and personal stories are a regular feature of their on-air conversations. Their dynamic has been compared to that of other famous duos in comedy, such as Abbott and Costello or Martin and Lewis.

The show has also made headlines for its interviews, which have included a diverse range of guests from politicians such as Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to entertainers like Missy Elliott and Whoopi Goldberg. Desus and Mero's interviewing style is often described as loose and casual, with the hosts more interested in getting to know their guests on a personal level than sticking to a pre-determined list of questions.

In addition to their regular segments, Desus and Mero often create viral moments on the show through their ad-libbed improv and silly antics. One well-known example occurred in 2019, when the hosts pretended they had landed a major sponsorship deal with Gatorade and proceeded to perform mock stunts involving the sports drink.

Overall, Desus & Mero is a highly entertaining and often hilarious late-night talk show that has gained a cult following since its debut in 2016. Its irreverent humor and unfiltered conversations have made it a refreshing alternative to more traditional talk shows, and its emphasis on personalities over programming has allowed Desus and Mero to build a loyal fan base.

Desus & Mero is a series that is currently running and has 13 seasons (624 episodes). The series first aired on October 17, 2016.
