The Kid Mero Addresses Whether He’s Still “Cool” With Desus Nice Following the cancellation of their Showtime talk show, Desus, and Mero, the Kid Mero talks about his relationship with his former cohost.

Mero explains that the beginning of the end was when they took their Viceland show to Showtime. “Creative disagreements? Nah. There were people we thought could have helped us turn the show back to what it was at Vice, where it felt fresh and way edgier — genuinely different and good,” said Mero. Mero says the Showtime show was giving him “mad anxiety,” and Desus was ready to quit everything, including the podcast. When asked if he and Desus would be cool again, Mero said, “I don’t know, man. I feel like — maybe? Never say never. Right now, I think we’re on different trajectories as far as what we wanna do.
