When Breakfast Club co-host Angela Yee announced Last week, the popular radio show “as you know it’s officially over”, the news landed with a whimper. If Desus & Mero still being broadcast, however, you know there will be fireworks.
Since then indelible comedy duo announced that they had broken up, their fans self-proclaimed “No. A late night show” was wondering why. Bronx natives Desus Nice and The Kid Mero have risen to glorious heights, from Complex to Viceland to Showtime, with some podcasting in between, bringing much needed fun and variety to the copper late-night scene served as an inspiration to those on the block. And suddenly, after more than three seasons on the paid network, it’s over.
Puck News report that the two had split because of their manager, Victor Lopez, who was allegedly banned from their Showtime series following several complaints of bullying. Mero, they said, sided with Lopez; Desus supported the overthrow of Lopez. Mero then appeared on Communication! podcast and explains, “Since last June, we’ve both been giving presentations or looking to work on current projects as individuals… It’s not like I’m breaking up with my girlfriend over the phone. phone, yo. Do you understand what I mean? It’s a strategy, and it’s a strategy we all agree on. “
Desus has remained relatively quiet until Monday night, when he received his first knife to life after Desus & Mero with guest retention time Jimmy Kimmel Live! And… looks like we’ll have to wait to hear his story.
The 41-year-old exuded confidence in his solo late-night host debut, talking about everything from the FBI’s Trump raid to a stoned bear in a monologue. fast.
“Like I said, I’m from New York, and being in LA is a bit of an adjustment. For example, here your public masturbators are in better shape and they are members of the SAG,” he joked, stumbling slightly during the breakout.
Yes, there is some jitteriness at first, but that’s to be expected. A segment on the road asking people to pit NY vs LA feels natural and not forced, while his sit-down interview takes on a very smooth, topless display. Jerrod Carmichael—Who recently appeared as a guest on Desus & Mero—Proven consistent appeal (after all, Desus asked the lion’s share of Showtime interview questions).
“Did you start dressing like this before you got two Emmy nominations or after?” Desus asked.
“The question is, did I dress like this before I went out?” Carmichael cracked, added. “No.”
Desus even tried to convince Lakers owner Jeanie Buss to tell a fun little story about the time OJ Simpson attended a game after he was acquitted only to be met by the long arm of the law. France.
It’s certainly going to take time to adjust to his longtime mate Desus sans, and for the pop culture guru to re-evaluate his brand as a solo act who isn’t smitten by his buddy beat, but Monday night’s performance was a promising one.
