"We basically took that and blew it up," Desus Nice says of moving their show from Viceland to Showtime and having a writers' room for the first time. "Production values are bigger. We’re going to leave the studio more. And I don’t want to brag but we got the best interviews in the game." The Kid Mero adds: "Before, it was like opening up your phone: 'Who do you know?'" The duo also explained their departure from Viceland after less than two years as "just the business." "It’s Hollywood, baby," says Desus. "Other places would be like, 'We want to make a show and put you in it.' Where Showtime was like, 'We don’t want to change it up — we just want to help you elevate it.' There’s never been a moment where Showtime got in the way of anything. At the same time, they’re not stupid hands-off, like waiting for us to show up."
