The brand passed Secret Service clearance?

Remember when Akademiks swore he was a bigger deal than these guys.

Now he's getting sacked from a Youtube show and Desus and Mero are interviewing Obama on their cable talk show.

Life will find cruel and unusual ways to humble the fukk out of the prideful

With that said The Brand is on Benoit right now.

The problem with Ak is that at his heart, he's a troll. Desus and Mero are entertainers. If you watch their interview with David Letterman, he did his homework on them and is genuinely impressed by them, and as the show progresses talks about how this is the future of late night.

The entire "sell" of a talk show is having a platform that the money (movies, tv, music, politics) see viable and want their investments (actors, musicians, politicians) on.

Views, follows, and likes aren't the be all and end all of the world, and that's where someone like Ak has lost the plot. What's the quality of those views? What do the people who watch you spend money on? Or vote for?

Desus & Mero were always doing better than Ak because more important guests have always sought out their platform. They're also clearly likable people and network their asses off. They're gonna be major players on TV for decades if they want to.

So many times they’d say their dream interview was and they got him.

Crazy to see how far they've come. My first time seeing Mero was on Eddie Huang's show. Then I started watching their show on Complex, then to Vice, now Showtime. A lot has changed over the years.

 

[Mr. Riddim]

Good interview. Looks like they all had a blast.
Them boys came a long way.

Checking it out now. I haven't kept up with them since they went to Showtime and off YT

 

[dish lowry]

i could give them a half page of notes & make the show better instantly....#1 fire the "woke" bytches producing/writing..its a comedy show, it kills the whole vibe...#2 have some real moments ....you cant bash chris rock on this site then kiss his ass on the show the following week...just take a moment & be like "i wasn't feeling that one bit you did, it hasn't aged well"....put your guests on the spot instead of acting like al roker....its showbiz...like george carlin said, attitude first, then worry about the content....

desus already out here working solo. a placement on kimmel as a host is a big deal tho.
