Watch the premiere of Showtime's 'Desus & Mero' talk show for free

The pair's first guest was Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Showtime's long-awaited Desus & Mero late-night talk show premiered Thursday, and while you'll typically need a subscription to check out the series, the network has shared the debut episode for free. Desus Nice and The Kid Mero, who gained a following with their Bodega Boys podcast before landing shows on MTV and Viceland, had a big-name guest for their first night: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The duo also parodied the Oscar-nominated Green Book in the episode, which is available on YouTube, along with Showtime's website and on-demand channels. Thanks to the magic of embed codes, you can check it out right here, "boo-boo" words included.
