Showtime has confirmed that its late-night series Desus & Mero is officially over following rumors of a falling out between co-hosts Desus Nice and The Kid Mero.
According to a spokesperson for the network, “Desus Nice and The Kid Mero will be pursuing separate creative endeavors moving forward. SHOWTIME’s late-night talk show DESUS & MERO will not be returning for a fifth season. Its final episode aired Thursday, June 23.”
Desus & Mero launched on Showtime in February 2019 with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the show’s first guest. Subsequent guests included movie stars like Denzel Washington, former presidents like Barack Obama and fellow late-night hosts like Jon Stewart among many others. The hosts, who met on Twitter before creating their popular Bodega Boys podcast, previously hosted versions of their late-night series on Complex TV and Viceland.
