Good One: A Podcast About Jokes
Comedy:Comedy Interviews
Daniel "Desus Nice" Baker and Joel "The Kid Mero" Martinez make up the comedy duo Deus & Mero.
Both children of immigrants and raised in the Bronx, the two met in high school and reconnected on Twitter. From 2013-2014 they cohosted their podcast Desus vs Mero, then went on to appear on MTV's Guy Code in 2015. Around the same time they launched their current podcast Bodega Boys, which propelled them towards their own TV show, first on VICE and most recently on Showtime.
Jesse charts their careers to understand what sets their brand of comedy apart from other Late Night television personalities, examining their roots as well as how their definition of authenticity affects their comedy.
Also included: puns.
Follow Desus & Mero on Twitter and watch them on Showtime, Mondays and Thursdays at 11PM.
