After breaking into podcasting with Complex TV&#8217;s <em>Desus vs.  Mero<\/em> podcast and <em>Bodega Boys<\/em>the pair had a show on Viceland from 2016 to 2018 before getting the Showtime late-night series that would take them mainstream.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eEIIWP\">\u201cDesus Nice and The Kid Mero will be pursuing separate creative endeavors moving forward,\u201d Showtime said in a statement Monday evening.  \u201cShowtime&#8217;s late-night talk show <em>Desus &#038; Mero <\/em>will not be returning for a fifth season.  Its final episode aired Thursday, June 23.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"6QmhAw\">Showtime&#8217;s confirmation came after days of speculation over their status.  The TV series was only 15 episodes into its run before going dark (previous seasons had more than 50 episodes), and the podcast had essentially been dropped \u2014 the last episode aired in November.  last month, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/desusnice\/status\/1538430833647882240\" target=\"_blank\">Desus assured the \u201cbodegahive<\/a>\u201d that \u201cthe art is coming back.\u201d  but last week, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DisaronnoSour\/status\/1547328447160131585\" target=\"_blank\">Mero had apparently commented<\/a> on a social post that it was over: \u201cPODCAST DONE ENJOY THE BACK CATALOG MY PALS.\u201d  on Friday, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/desusnice\/status\/1547971863589965837\" target=\"_blank\">Desus responded<\/a>tweeting \u201cthe hive deserved better than this ending.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"sPtyIA\">Nobody seems happy about the breakup.  the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/bodegahive?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\">bodegahive is melting down<\/a> on Twitter, and Showtime just lost a big fat hit that managed to get President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden (when he was running) as guests.  After such a smash run, it is unlikely the two will disappear from the public eye, but despite the duo&#8217;s catchphrase, the brand did not survive.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"nsXAOm\">\n<div class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box \" id=\"newsletter-signup-short-form\" data-newsletter-slug=\"podcasts\">\n<div class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box__main\">\n<p>      <span class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box__icon\"><br \/>\n        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 54.47 53.1\"><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#000000\" x1=\"1.77\" y1=\"49.98\" x2=\"27.93\" y2=\"23.82\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#000000\" x1=\"33.82\" y1=\"17.93\" x2=\"49.43\" y2=\"2.32\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#ff7f00\" x1=\"10.32\" y1=\"41.43\" x2=\"21.32\" y2=\"30.43\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#000000\" x1=\"2.42\" y1=\"21.87\" x2=\"22.31\" y2=\"1.76\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#000000\" x1=\"27.97\" y1=\"51.33\" x2=\"41.2\" y2=\"38.1\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#ff7f00\" x1=\"46.47\" y1=\"32.83\" x2=\"52.7\" y2=\"26.6\"\/><\/svg><br \/>\n      <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box__title\">\n      <span class=\"sr-only\"><\/p>\n<p>        Sign up for the newsletter<\/p>\n<p>      <\/span><br \/>\n      Hot Pod<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box__blurb\">Every Tuesday receive analysis, insights, and commentary on the growing audio industry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Duo Desus Nice and The Kid Mero, who established one of the top comedy brands of the decade with their podcast Bodega Boys and their eponymous show on Showtime, are well and truly done.
