Who the hell is Victor?

Who the hell is Victor?

He was their manager, and he would be on their podcast from time to time.

Who the hell is Victor?

Meros friend/manager that turned into the group’s manager. He is partially at the middle of the group’s split. Paramount want to lessen Victor’s presence in the bts of the show. Desus was cool with that, but Mero didn’t because he is friends with them.

[mson]

I thought they made a good team.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I’ve never actually watched their stuff other than them what I saw on Twitter, but ever since they split, I haven’t heard a peep out of them. They messed up terribly trying to “seek other opportunities”.

Having a dog is gay?

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Having a dog is gay?

No, being a díck riding faggòt who loves the attention is gay.

Everyone knows Desus is gay. Dude made it very obvious on the podcasts.

Yep. IIRC Paramount wanted to continue with the show.

Desus & Mero Broke Up Over Their Manager

Here’s what really ended the Showtime comedy duo’s successful partnership.

puck.news

When the news broke Tuesday that the comedy duo Desus Nice (a.k.a. Daniel Baker) and the Kid Mero (a.k.a. Joel Martinez) would end both their creative partnership and their excellent Showtime late-night show, many in the comedy world were perplexed. These guys had a great gig, were landing guests like Presidents Biden and Obama and Denzel Washington, and seemingly had the network’s full support. But the rift that led to the implosion was pretty clear to insiders at the show.


Here’s what happened, according to five separate sources. Shortly after Thanksgiving, Showtime asked that Victor Lopez, the duo’s longtime manager and a credited producer on Desus & Mero, no longer attend tapings or appear in meetings. Lopez had been accused of a$$hole behavior, including bullying, screaming and generally making people on the show feel bad. Several formal complaints had been made, according to two sources. (Showtime and reps for the duo declined to comment; Lopez could not be reached.)


Desus agreed with Showtime and wanted Lopez out, but Mero is said to have felt loyal to their manager, who had been with the Bronx-raised duo for years. The comics first became big on Black Twitter, were brought together for a podcast for Complex, then another pod, Bodega Boys, that led to a show on Viceland, and then, for the past four seasons, on Showtime. Lopez was there for pretty much all of it, and Mero resisted booting him, I’m told.


As the dispute metastasized, people started noticing. The duo stopped posting podcast episodes in November, which raised eyebrows among fans. Mero quietly left their longtime agent Christina Bazdekis, and lawyer, Victoria Cook, and signed in February with WME and Ziffren Brittenham by himself. The stars talked less and less during the show’s fourth season, which concluded in June. Desus hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live solo earlier this summer. Last week, responding to some fan tweets suggesting the end of the podcast, Desus said that their followers “deserved better than this ending.” And at the MLB All-Star Game’s celebrity softball exhibition last weekend, I’m told they arrived and participated in activities separately. Then, Tuesday, the announcement from Showtime. Desus is already teasing a new project.

I thought they made a good team.

I straight up HATED them cats from the interviews I'd see of them on other shows or clips of their show I'd see on twitter. I thought they were corny as fukk and just didn't get the humor at all. Then I watched an episode around the 2016 election time and they grew on me. Still wasn't something I could watch every day but when watched in moderation they'd have me rolling. The Showtime show was garbage though so I checked all the way out.
