As part of this year’s survey, the group, which also includes Call Her Daddy‘s Alex Cooper, Bill Simmons, Ben Shapiro and My Favorite Murder co-hosts Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, reveals its dream guests and guilty pleasure listens as well.

BuzzFeed is launching at month's end a brand new YouTube channel for its five-year-old Black Culture entertainment vertical, Cocoa Butter. At the same time, the viral publisher unveiled its Fall 2020 show slate, which comprises returning hits like BuzzFeed Unsolved: True Crime and Worth It -- returning for their seventh and ninth seasons, respectively.
Cocoa Butter was founded in 2015 by editors Heben Nigatu and Tracy Clayton to showcase authenticity within Black culture, BuzzFeed says, as well as to involve Black voices in every step of the creative process. Initially publishing content under the auspices of the larger BuzzFeed brand, Cocoa Butter subsequently became a standalone entity, launching its first Facebook Watch series in 2019 dubbed The Era. The Era examined notable Black cultural moments from the 90s, with appearances from Eve, Taye Diggs, Questlove, and Loretta Devine.

Desus Nice and the Kid Mero have just sat down for lunch at an upscale Manhattan bistro when they notice the birdlike gentleman in the slate-blue sweater a few tables over. Desus sees him first: “Is that John Oliver?”
It certainly looks a lot like the star of HBO’s Last Week Tonight — a funny coincidence for two wiseguys who are about to start their own weekly late-night, half-hour comedy program, Desus and Mero, which premieres on Showtime February 21st. “Yeah, it is,” Mero says after surreptitiously checking out the competition.
