Channels with Peter Kafka

Why Desus & Mero are pandemic-proof

Comedians, podcasters, and now authors, Desus Nice &amp; The Kid Mero, have had an interesting path to becoming one of the hottest duos in late night television. The Bronx natives sit down with Recode’s Peter Kafka to discuss how they got hosting Showtime’s first talk show, what you can expect in their upcoming book God-Level Knowledge Darts: Life Lessons from the Bronx (which is available for pre-order right now!), and what their plans are for the post-pandemic future.

Their Virtual Book Tour kicked off last week. Tickets are available at Bodegahive.com

Featuring: Desus Nice (@desusnice) &amp; The Kid Mero (@THEKIDMERO)
Host: Peter Kafka (@pkafka), Senior Editor at Recode
