Desus Nice Biography

Desus Nice, a television, YouTube, and Twitter personality, rose to fame through his partnership with The Kid Mero which spanned over a decade. Together, they started with Complex TV's "Desus vs. Mero," a 46-episode podcast, and later gained recognition through their long-running "Bodega Boys" podcast.

Subsequently, they conducted a successful Virtual Book Tour during the peak of the COVID pandemic. Nice subsequently co-authored "The Joy of Basketball: An Encyclopedia of the Modern Game," which was published in 2021.
