The untitled series — which marks Showtime’s first-ever weekly late-night talk show — will feature Desus and Mero “speaking highly off the cuff and chatting with guests at the intersection of pop culture, sports, music, politics and more.”
The comedians — who found fame with their podcast The Bodega Boys and web series Desus vs. Mero — previously hosted a late-night talk show on Viceland.
Showtime is throwing its hat into the late-night comedy ring: The premium cabler announced Monday that it has ordered a weekly half-hour talk show starring comedy duo Desus Nice and The Kid Mero.
Desus and Mero’s Showtime series is slated for a 2019 premiere; no word yet on which day of the week it will air.
