Mero Discusses Split With Desus And Potential Reunion

While Mero mentions more of the industry side of things in that quote, what happened between the two is still hazy. Blackbird Spyplane asked Mero about whether he sees himself crossing paths with Desus in the future and returning to better terms.

“I don’t know, man," he responded. "I feel like—maybe? Never say never." He added that they're going their own ways for now.

The Bronx comedian also shut down assessments that the separation was the result of creative differences, but he did express that a dispute with Showtime over taking the show back to its roots was a sign of things to come. Mero also emphasized the importance of dodging misguided input from the industry on one's work, and how difficult it can be overall.


“That was the beginning of the end,” the 39-year-old stated. “It was giving me mad anxiety, but I’m a first-generation immigrant kid, like, You never quit your job before you have a new one.” Desus reportedly responded to Showtime's direction with "F**k it," and the show's fate was basically sealed.

Though rumors of their split resulting from management disputes haven't been quelled, Mero's comments in this interview indicate that it came down to more than just the paperwork for two incredible creators.
