Christmas may be about a month away, but the holiday will come twice in 2019 for fans of Desus & Mero.
That’s right! The Bodega Boys have announced their official debut on a new network, Showtime.
“The wait is over, YA BOYS ARE BACK!” Desus tweeted on Thursday and it featured the first promo spot for the show, which will keep it’s name from Viceland.

The duo originally debuted on Viceland in 2016 and the show became a cult favorite, poking fun at pop culture, politics, sports, viral videos, and all things New York. The duo also had hilarious interviews with everyone from Black Thought to Cardi B to former Attorney General Eric Holder to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow to Chris Hayes.
The Bronx natives dubbed the show “the No. 1 show in late night,” and were quick to remind everyone that “the brand [was] strong.” They, however, ended their run on Viceland earlier this year after word leaked out that they were moving to Showtime.

“Can I just be messy off the rip right now?” Desus asked Bossip in July. “Vice has us for 2 more months. We did not leave Vice. Vice ended our contract. They were in their feelings because we were leaving.”
“Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face,” Mero added. The duo has been touring around the US and Canada, including recently headlining Madison Square Garden, and doing their hilarious “Bodega Boys” podcast in the interim. The show will start off as a once a week show but both have hinted that there will be more coming in the future.
They will make their debut on premium cable on Feb. 21 and and we are here for the NSFW laughs and the Sonic Rings.
