Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele team up once more for their Obama and Anger Translator Luther sketch that just might sum up how you’re feeling with less than two weeks before Trump’s inauguration. It actually might sum up your feelings more loudly than you could have imagined.
Key & Peele’s Obama and Anger Translator Luther Appearing on Daily Show Tonight
11PM on Comedy Central, one of the most memorable parts of both Key & Peele and the Obama Administration will go for one last ride.
With his appearance coming the Friday before the election on Tuesday, November 8th, Obama’s appearance on Real Time ought to be one of the most fascinating in the show’s history even beyond the fact that a sitting President is sitting down with Maher.
So, this week, President Barack Obama’s interview with Samantha Bee will air on her show, Full Frontal, on this Monday/Halloween. The POTUS will close out the week at another firebrand, political comedy show by finally taking Bill Maher up on his open invitation and appear on Real Time.
Few hosts as big as Maher have publicly lobbied as hard for an Obama sit down, which should make this, as suggested above, a fascinating interview.
Watch it on Friday, November 4th on HBO at 10PM.

Funny or Die is getting very serious about their content in this election year.
David Litt was not only President Barack Obama’s speech writer, but acted as a lead writer at the last four of Obama’s hit White House Correspondents Association Dinner performances where people consistently were amazed of how funny Obama was (sometimes, more so than the host who is actually a comedian).
So, being one of the lead creatives in heading writing and production at Funny or Die’s Washington D.C. offices is a good move on Funny or Die’s part.
Per usual, Oliver put his main segment on Last Week Tonight to good use by talking torture and its real life ineffectiveness. It’s especially timely as an amendment that would effectively put President Obama’s executive order regarding torture into law is up for a vote soon.
Of course, with the a reference to Mel Gibson movies and the use of Dame Helen Mirren’s lovely voice, Oliver makes it quite enjoyable and not at all like his subject matter.
WIth the loss of the Senate in the midterm elections this week to the GOP, President Obama must have a lot on his mind to say that, for the sake of appearances, must keep to himself.
Good thing Key & Peele have Luther, the Obama anger translator around. Here’s the latest address from Obama and jumps from Luther.
This year, Zach Galifianakis has covered quite a range going from doing an episode of his meta talk show Between Two Ferns with President Barack Obama to the upcoming, highly anticipated dark comedy Birdman from Alejandro González Iñárritu.
Zach gave a great inside look to both of those experiences during his interview at The Daily Show last night. Watch it here and beware if you’re a fan of Arby’s.
