CHELSEA, NY — Desus Nice and The Kid Mero's pursuit of new "creative endeavors" after their high-profile split unfortunately will force dozens of workers to search for new gigs.

The real reason for the split and the end of the show is that they quit being funny. They used to be very funny when at Viceland but they Jumped The Shark after moving to Showtime in 2019.

Never heard of any of this.

Are these real people or characters on a show?

They used to be very funny at Viceland in part because they sometimes touched on subjects deemed taboo by the woke folks but after their arrival on Showtime they became more standard issue types.

Scoped out their page on Wikipedia; guests on their show were mostly random rapper-types, two-bit lefties, and standard Hollywood types.

Who?

Seriously...I wake up every morning and celebrate the fact that I’m so far behind the times.
