Nitish Pahwa Slate Despite the kinks, Desus & Mero is still a joy and even a potential game-changer. Aug 9, 2019 Full Review Charles Bramesco Guardian That Ocasio-Cortez would be the new iteration's first guest couldn't be more appropriate: she's also won a following for breaking into a white-dominated institution with frankness, reason, and a refreshing contempt for the 1%. Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Troy Patterson The New Yorker The show, like the snack, is salty and slightly sweet, and its crispness is a sign of its authenticity. Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Lea Palmieri Decider But perhaps what Desus and Mero did best was keep their new show feeling familiar, yet fun and exciting, for longtime Bodega Hive members, while also welcoming new viewers to their particular (and rather strong) brand of comedy. Feb 27, 2019 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media New voices in late night TV are fresh, smart, topical. Rated: 4/5 Feb 27, 2019 Full Review Rob Harvilla The Ringer The Showtime version, god bless, is just professional enough, but no more. Which is why I found myself laughing like an idiot...

Audience Member Would be a huge fan if not for that annoying constant laugh of Mero. I have tried watching many times, but alas can never quite make it through an entire show. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I just don't find them funny. I think that they are their own biggest fans actually. When I'm watching their show, I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of it off value. Not news, not anything, and furthermore, I can't help but feel like that this is more nonsense that is coming out of the millennial demographic that society does not need. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member How on earth do you screw up an interview with Bill Burr? He is comedy gold, but their interview with him was just painfully awkward. These guys just aren't funny. But props to them for not getting overly political. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member BODEGA BOYS YUUUU HUUUURD Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not able to keep my interest. I want my old show back. You can take this 30 min a week bull! Plus Showtime sucks. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
