Abbott Elementary’s Janelle James Helps Kids Keep It Real | DESUS & MERO | SHOWTIME

Комедия

Earlier this year, a school in California created a hotline where callers could listen to pep talks recorded by their students. Desus and Mero have decided to do their own version: a hotline where NYC kids tell you the cold, hard truths you need to hear. To help them get started, they've brought along comedian and TV principal, Janelle James of Abbott Elementary.

DESUS & MERO, the Bronx’s very own, reconnected online in the early days of Twitter, where they unleashed their potent personalities and found themselves kindred spirits. That led to stints on Complex and MTV, the Bodega Boys podcast, and a daily late-night show on Viceland, developing a feverish following. The quick-witted duo brings a distinct voice to late night, delivering smart and comedic commentary on any and all topics, that keeps audiences buzzing. DESUS & MERO continue to host their Bodega Boys podcast.

    Desus and Mero would be the greatest PE teachers ever. Until they get fired for gambling on dodgeball and running illegal steal the bacon tournaments.
