Bronx personalities Joel Martinez (The Kid Mero) -- who has lived in Fair Lawn, Paramus and Tenafly -- and Desus Nice (Daniel Baker) officially joined forces in 2012 for a COMPLEX web video series  “Desus Vs. Mero." 

That led to their wildly successful podcast "The Bodega Boys," and groundbreaking late-night Viceland show. "Desus & Mero," which ended in June.
