    Storyline

    Edit
    Fresh faces Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele star in this 30-minute sketch comedy series, leaving no stone unturned -- whether satirizing the president or spoofing Nazis -- in their search for laughs. The actor/writers examine life through a combination of filmed sketches and live stage segments, demonstrating their unique chemistry, camaraderie and point of view. Key has starred as the "Theoretical Criminal" on "Reno 911! (2003)" and Peele's credits include "MADtv (1995)." —Jwelch5742

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In an interview with Larry King, referring to the show's humor on racism issues, Keegan Michael Key said, "In regard to our show, some people ask me sometimes, 'what is the greatest thing that can happen to your show?' I said the greatest thing that can happen to my show is that a kid watches something on whatever the equivalent of YouTube is 75 years from now and goes 'why is this funny? I don't understand this.'" Meaning that hopefully Americans will have solved the racism issues in the near future.

    Not bad but needs a few changes...
    At first when I heard of a Comedy sketch show starring 2 bi-racial (half black-half white) guys who's sketches coincide with them being bi-racial, it didn't sound too appealing.

    However, I saw a small clip of "Key & Peele" on Conan and found the clip to be very funny. So, I decided to catch it on TV.

    To my surprise, I was not disappointed. Not all of it is laugh out loud funny but it does make you smirk and at times you do indeed laugh out loud. The opening sequence was hilarious.

    "Key and Peele" do grow on you. That being said, there is still a lot of work needed. For example, cutting out the whole stand-up bit they do in front of a live audience in between sketches.

    The show should be purely a sketch show. Much like Portlandia. It is the same concept for Portlandia except for that it is the "black version".

    The show is funny to all demographics especially black and white Americans which I believe was the main aim.

    I will definitely be watching the next episode.
