Desus Nice Travel Series In The Works At Amazon

Desus Nice is working on a travel series for Amazon.

The comedian, who is best known for hosting Showtime’s late-night series Desus & Mero, is working with Story Syndicate and Amazon MGM Studios on the project.

A pilot presentation is being shot for Prime Video.

It wouldn’t mark the first time that Desus, otherwise known as Daniel Baker, has gone down the travel show route; he was previously a guest on Anthony Bourdain’s CNN series Parts Unknown, where he took the host to joints across the Bronx.

Story Syndicate is best known for producing docs and docuseries including HBO’s I’ll Be Gone In The Dark, Netflix’s Harry & Meghan and Hulu’s Stolen Youth: Inside The Cult at Sarah Lawrence.

Desus & Mero split in July 2022, having run the show for four season on Showtime as well as a number of years on Viceland and as a podcast on Complex before that.

Since he left that show, he has appeared as a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Daily Show.

Desus Nice is repped by UTA and Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz.
