Earlier in the summer, Showtime pulled the plug on The First Lady and Desus & Mero after the talk show's co-hosts ended their creative partnership. Last month, Okayplayerspoke with Perlman about the show's Brooklyn authenticity.
"On the crew, in front of and behind the camera, we had many people who were born and raised in Brooklyn who can give it that kind of real, sort of lived experience," he said. "I think we’ve really lucked out and we’ve surrounded ourselves with incredibly talented people and at least for me, it’s always [about] trusting the people around me to know the stuff that I don’t know."
