Desus Nice, the stage name of Daniel Baker, is an American comedian and television personality who has also performed voice acting roles in animated series, including the anime-influenced production Neo Yokio. Born in the Bronx, New York, on May 18, 1981, he first gained prominence as one half of the comedy duo Desus & Mero, alongside The Kid Mero, through their podcasts and late-night talk shows on Viceland and Showtime. This background in comedy and pop culture commentary led to opportunities in voice work.

His most prominent role in animation is as the character Gottlieb in the Netflix series Neo Yokio. The series, which combines elements of anime, magic, and high society satire, features Desus Nice voicing Gottlieb, who is one of the two close friends and confidants to the protagonist, Kaz Kaan. The character appears throughout the series, including in the holiday special Neo Yokio: Pink Christmas, working alongside his real-life comedy partner The Kid Mero, who voices the other friend, Lexy. This collaboration highlights a recurring pattern in his voice work, often being cast together with The Kid Mero to replicate their established comedic dynamic.

Beyond Neo Yokio, Desus Nice has lent his voice to other animated projects. He voiced the character College KG Leibowitz-Jenkins, the adult version of Francis' twin brother, in an episode of the Disney+ revival The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder. His filmography also includes a voice role as Pickles in the animated series Star vs. the Forces of Evil.

While his body of voice acting work is not extensive, his contributions are notable for bringing his distinct comedic persona to animated characters, often in projects that blend humor with contemporary cultural commentary. His roles are typically defined by his collaborations with The Kid Mero and his association with series that feature ensemble casts of prominent entertainers.
