Sure, watching the head of a big company go undercover amongst his own employees then revealing himself as the boss to the delight of some and dismay of others is entertaining.
Key and Peele’s version is, of course, more entertaining, perhaps filled with more “drama”. Watch it here.
The showmanship involved in finishing your opponent on the battlefield, especially when you cut their head clean off with a giant sword is pretty impressive.
In fact, it’s so impressive that it might be a little hard to dismount from the performance.
Just let Key & Peele show you what we’re talking about.
Professional athletes have their every move watched by the likes of several sports media outlets and rightly so with the millions of dollars invested in them.
In their latest sketch, Key & Peele imagine a world where teachers, arguably some of the most crucial stewards of generations to come, get the treatment that those pro athletes get, which they deserve.
So, watch TeachingCenter here.

Keegan and Jordan want to emphasize that it’s them, not Comedy Central, that has brought them to this decision to end the show, which is regarded as a stand-out in this golden age of television.
After five groundbreaking seasons, both Key and Peele want the breathing room to explore other projects and passions and are thus bringing their highly acclaimed sketch series Key & Peele to a close.
Take note that they do want to keep working together plenty in the future. On leaving, Keegan says, “I’m thinking we could do that every three years – take a year, go bang out a movie. That’s the plan right now.”
So, before you go getting all wistful and start going through Key & Peele all over again (a thing you should totally do), remember this isn’t the end of one of the great comedy duos to ever be.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler don’t get to work on everything together, but it’s all the more special when they do and perhaps that what it will be like with Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele in the years to come.
Are you getting hitched and want a wedding band that not only plays all the “hits”, but makes it even more personal? Oh, and you want rapper 2Chainz holding a sax to be a part of it too?
Well, Jash’s Buh has the wedding band for you in ABSORPTION! that features Keegan Michael-Key, Jordan Peele, 2Chainz, a gong, and more.
Just watch their promo video here.
We should note that actually booking this band in real life probably costs a lot of money.
In such a subtly perfect Key & Peele sketch, a town hall meeting marking the landmark of gay marriage bans being prohibited nationwide finds an audience camera focusing a lot on Jordan Peele.
It might just be a coincidence or an accident, but you should just see it for yourself.
Watch and enjoy here.
Before any competitive team effort, it’s not uncommon for teammates to get each other riled up and rowdy before heading out. Sometimes, that can lead to screaming and other times it can straight-up hitting each other.
Key & Peele show what happens when that might go a bit too far.
Make sure to set a reminder to catch the new season of Key & Peele on July 8th.
Following their great roundtable discussion with some of comedy’s most prominent women, The Hollywood Reporter sat down and did the male counterpart in this panel discussion series about the ins-and-outs of comedy as well as doing great/bad impressions.
Amongst those at THR’s table are Fred Armisen…
…and Don Cheadle.
We’re sure that we all can’t wait until season 5 of Key & Peele.
Right out of the gate, Key & Peele go big with the first sketch they released from the upcoming season of the show. They make a full-fledged musical number called Negrotown.
There are dozens of dancers with exquisite direction from the show’s long time director Peter Atencio choreography from go-to comedy-dance choreographer Kathryn Burns, bright floral suits and dresses like they’re in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and, on top of all of that, a poignant and timely message about racial profiling by the police.

There were talks of this happening last year and whoever was holding their breath in the hopes of this happening can now exhale.
One of Key & Peele’s most popular characters, the veteran substitute teacher Mr. Garvey, is going to get a feature adaptation with Keegan Michael-Key as Garvey will face off teacher-a-teacher against Jordan Peele as antithetical, very likable teacher.
We can see montages of Garvey aggressively mispronouncing common names and Jordan pronouncing them correctly and then giving a positive affirmation to each student individually.
In case you have been too busy trying to catch up with all the hordes of television, movies, music, etc., No, You Shut Up! with Paul F. Tompkins is really hitting its stride in season 3 over at Fusion.
Just look at all the hijinks they get into with Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele when they stop by and you can clearly see why this show should be the most Googled of 2015 instead of just 2nd in 2014.
Also, do remember that you can watch entire full episodes of this season as well as seasons one and two all conveniently on YouTube.
Whether it be observation or straight up gibberish, Key & Peele have brought a whole new set of vernacular to the forefront of slang.
According to Jordan Peele, there’s a lot of straight-up gibberish that comes from the mind and mouth of Keegan Michael-Key.
Watch their explanation on Conan here.
On Letterman, Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele explain their dynamic on Key & Peele that they divvy up between brains and the ability and willingness to take on an attack dog.
Wanna guess which one is which? Well, take a guess then see if you’re right and watch the clip here.
It might just be a coincidence that Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele started were tapped to guest edit this latest issue of Entertainment Weekly that just so happens to be their Comedy Issue. It might also be perfect timing with the season premiere of Key & Peele coming tonight on Comedy Central.
Either way, it sounds like they’ve rustled up plenty of great stuff like an interview with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross as well as a blind date with Chelsea Peretti and Ike Barinholtz.
Before you go to pick this up, this issue hits newsstands on Fri.
With Sept. 24th, the premiere date of the new season of Key & Peele, just around the corner, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are making the rounds on talk shows.

Season 4 of Key & Peele is almost upon us. Sept 24th will see the premiere of new episodes full of new sketches that we all won’t be able to get enough of.
That’s what this brand new teaser with Obama and Anger Translator Luther says.
Taking from 1964’s The Incredible Mr. Limpet that had Don Knotts turn into a fish and help hunt Nazi U-boats, director Richard Linklater is going for a remake and lining up a pretty great cast. Zach Galifianakis is attached to play Mr. Limpet, the role Knotts played, and there are no Nazis in this one.
However, Jon Hamm, Sarah Silverman, Danny McBride, Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Jordan Peele, and Keegan-Michael Key are all in talks to join the cast. With Linklater at the helm and this cast, this might be one of the more fascinating, possibly great remakes in a long time.
It’s not long before Drunk History is back in our lives. Season 2 premieres on July 1st at 10PM on Comedy Central. While that’s some weeks away, they just released one of the stories featuring a great, drunk Allan McLeod and Jordan Peele reenacting scientist Percy Julian.
Spoiler alert: it’s great. Watch it now.
Comedy Central Expanding Key & Peele Episode Order, Develops Animated Spinoff
Key & Peele has seemingly filled that staple sketch show that Comedy Central has been looking for after Chappelle’s Show came to an abrupt end. They’ve hit a nice intersection in being wildly popular online, but as well as a TV series.
So, very wisely, Comedy Central is giving them an actual full season order of 22 episodes and is working on an animated spin-off of Vandaveon & Mike.
