Desus & Mero, the No. 1 show for nothing but illustrious guests, got its most illustrious guest ever for the series finale of the Viceland talk show: the pope himself, New York sports radio icon Mike Francesa.
Desus, Mero and Francesa are all deeply New York personalities that represent different sections of the region’s rich tapestry.
Meanwhile, Mike Francesa has been the voice of New York sports talk radio since 1987.
Desus and Mero grew up listening to Francesa, because everyone in New York and its suburbs’ dad listened to him, and so they’re understandably obsessed with him.
