Watch Trailer for Jordan Peele and Charlie Sanders’ Sci-Fi Comedy Anthology Series “Weird City”

When we were hearing rumblings of this project from Jordan Peele and Charlie Sanders, we were imagining a funnier version of Black Mirror. This trailer does not disappoint in this regard. In fact, the premise of Weird City having a dystopian populous divvied up literally between Haves and Have Nots is the sort of Peele touch we were hoping for.

See for yourself in the trailer for Weird City here, then look for the series on YouTube Originals starting Feb. 13th.

YouTube Orders Jordan Peele Sci-Fi Anthology ‘Weird City’ to Series

“Co-written by Peele and Sanders, Weird City is an anthology set in the not-too-distant future metropolis of Weird. Each episode is an exploration of issues that pertains to present day life, stories that could only be told now through the prism of sci-fi and comedy.”

Anyone feel like Jordan Peele will be getting to do his own version of Black Mirror with this show? Whatever Weird City ends up being, plenty of folks will undoubtedly be watching. 

In fact, this is quite the nice get for YouTube, considering what sort of big talent find themselves at Netflix these days. Come to think of it, this might be the first YouTube Premium series that has peaked our interests in quite some time.

It would seem that Bill Burr’s F Is For Family paved the way for animated comedies dealing with childhood, but aren’t necessarily “family friendly”. 

From Nick Kroll:

It’s about the beautiful nightmare that is puberty and adolescence. The show is based on me and my childhood best friend Andrew Goldberg’s real lives in middle school. It premieres on @netflix September 29th. I cannot wait for people to see it! Cast includes: me, @johnmulaney @jennyslate #jessiklein #jasonmantzoukas @sordociego (Fred Armisen) #mayarudolph @jordanpeele and many more amazingly talented folks.

Watch these teasers and you’ll see exactly what Kroll is saying.

Jordan Peele Just Scored a First Look Deal at Universal Pictures

Peele will get to develop all sorts of films under his Monkeypaw Productions banner with Universal Pictures.

The possibilities are seemingly endless here with the breakout success of Get Out and Jordan’s notoriety gained with Key & Peele. 

From hearing this news, we’re imagining the two valets from Key & Peele just going back and forth imagining what Jordan could end up making with this lucrative, high-powered deal.

That Tracy Morgan Series Co-Created by Jordan Peele and John Carcieri Is Going to Series at  TBS

Take a look at that TBS programming line-up again and you just might be surprised (again) with what they’ve done this year.

Originally at FX, Tracy Morgan was set to star in this comedy that would have him star as a man released from prison after serving 15 years, then have to adapt to a Brooklyn that’s much different than he remembers. FX passed on this show from Jordan Peele and Vice Principals co-executive producer and writer, John Carcieri, but TBS made a sure to get a series order before the show landed somewhere else.

Remember when the only thing that you probably watched on TBS was Conan? TBS looks like they’re doing a pretty good job in making sure that doesn’t happen again.

While it’s a pretty bold statement to call something The Biggest Show, this benefit for Young Storytellers might actually get into some superlative territory.

Seth Rogen, Jordan Peele, Nasim Pedrad, Tony Hale, Thomas Middleditch, Natasha Rothwell, Charlie Day, John Cho, Yvonne Orji, Martin Starr, Danny Pudi, Busy Phillips, Max Greenfield, Georgia King, Kimberly Herbert Gregory, and hosts The Sklar Brothers will all perform scripts written by 5th graders for this Biggest Show. 

Proceeds go to Young Storytellers, which is a non-profit that connects film and TV professionals with public school students in order to foster their own short screenplay.

The Biggest Show 2016 is set for next week on Thursday, October 20th at 8PM at The Novo DTLA in LA Live. Tickets for standing room are available for $25 and you can (and should) get them here.

Comedy Central Does the Right Thing and Has Made Every “Key & Peele” Sketch Available Online

FYI, more than half of their over 300 sketches never made it online.

Key & Peele has forever made its mark in comedy with their trailblazing, gut busting sketches including Obama’s Anger Translator and the East/West Bowl. During the series run, only a limited number of sketches from the actual broadcast version of the show made it online where Key & Peele enjoyed as much, if not more, popularity than they did on air at Comedy Central.

Now that the dust has settled (i.e. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have made a movie and are involved in several other projects) Comedy Central has now had the hindsight to realize the true, long lasting, cultural value of Key & Peele. As such, they have overhauled the show’s site at cc.com to have every sketch, 176 which never made it online, available one click away. 

So, if you’re reading this still, you need stop fooling yourself that you’re going to do anything else but stream Key & Peele sketches all day long right here.

Starting last night, Keanu hit theaters across the country and is the latest work from the brilliant comedic minds of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele and their Key & Peele collaborators, director Peter Atencio and writers Alex Rubens.

So, here are showtimes for Keanu in theaters across LA.

Before you go and see it, you might actually want to watch a surprise live read of a scene from the movie that features Conan O’Brien as Method Man and Andy Richter as Keanu the cat, which you can watch right now right here.

In doing the rounds to promote their upcoming film Keanu, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.

Of course, they chatted about how emotional the end of Key & Peele was and what it was like working on their new feature length film together. They also discussed what it was like going on a walking ghost tour with Wu Tang Clan member Method Man, which could have been a sketch all by itself.

If You’re at SXSW, You’ll Be Able to Watch Key & Peele’s “Keanu” Before Everyone Else, Sort of

(via Deadline)

Be at Austin’s Paramount Theater, March 12th, Saturday night at midnight if you want to go.

The action comedy starring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele where they save a cat is coming to SXSW. Though, it will be a “work-in-progress” cut of the movie, you’ll still have a chance to see it several weeks (premiere is at the end of April) before anyone else, even if it ends up being cut different. In fact, you’ll get to see a cut that no one else will probably see.

Either way, if you’re down in Austin, TX for SXSW, you should probably go to this. 

Keegan-Michael Key & Jordan Peele Are Doing Live Game Commentary Tomorrow, in Character, for Squarespace

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele got some ridiculous get-ups, ridiculous hair-dos, and plenty of top notch riffing coming during Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow. 

This whole “Real Talk” event is in promotion of website building platform Squarespace (they made a whole website for this whole promotional stunt), which might be better than dropping several million for 30 seconds of commercial air time. 

So, maybe mute the TV except for the commercials and have this running over the game instead?

Stephen Colbert Announces His Guest Line-up for ‘The Late Show’ Post Super Bowl Special

Got my Super Bowl squad ready. Hey Tina Fey, @MargotRobbie, Will Ferrell, @KeeganMKey, and @JordanPeele: Aim for the knees! #LSSC

Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, and Margot Robbie should make for a pretty special episode of The Late Show after this year’s Super Bowl. We mean, that’s in addition to whatever ultra clever stuff Colbert has up his sleeve on his own.

Oh yeah, you should check out what Stephen is up to at The Late Show these days. It’s pretty great and showcases how many gears, both comedic and emphatic, Colbert can shift in and out of even though he’s not in character.

Tracy Morgan to Star in FX Comedy Pilot Written by Jordan Peele and John Carcieri

This is a pretty great way for Tracy Morgan to make a comeback.

The latest addition to FX’s comedy development slate comes in a pilot that seems tailor made for its star Tracy Morgan. Written by Jordan Peele and Eastbound & Down’s John Carcieri, Morgan will play a recently released convict after over a decade and a half of incarceration that has to adjust to normal society.

If this gets picked up (which, on paper, it sounds like it should), we’ll be curious to see if it falls in line more with FX or FXx.

Some of you might not remember that a score ago, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Alex Borstein, Ike Barinholtz, Bobby Lee, Will Sasso, Mo Collins, and way more were all on one sketch variety show together. 

That show was called MADtv and, tonight, The CW is doing a special honoring the show’s 20th Anniversary with the cast.

If you want to see what brought all these folks before they hit it really, really big, tune into The CW at 8PM.

This will probably be a pretty great balance between Key & Peele and Jordan Peele’s recent foray into horror.

The forces of Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, and Nightmare Before Christmas director Harry Selick are coming together to entertain a delightfully darker side of stop-motion animation in a new film Wendell and Wild. 

It’ll follow two demons versus a nun and a couple of goth kids and we can only imagine how ridiculous this could get. Just check Key & Peele’s last time they dealt with a demon battle.

Fox Developing Undercover Cop Comedy from Key & Peele Starring King Bach

(via Deadline)

It would seem that the worlds of sketch comedy and Vine meet at a single camera sitcom at Fox.

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele undoubtedly had a lot of things come across their desk as well as their own projects after finishing up with Key & Peele. It turns out it didn’t take them long at all to move on to their next project as they are now producing a new project at Fox with one of the writers from their show, Alex Rubens.

Vine megastar King Bach (AKA Andrew Bachelor) is set to star as an undercover cop that will tap into the King Bach persona that’s gotten Bachelor over 14 million followers.

We’ll be curious to see what comes of all of this as well as if Jordan and Keegan will be in front of the camera in some capacity.

There’s no real context we can or wish to give you to watch this latest Key & Peele sketch.

We will say that if this is a sort of thing that Jordan Peele would have in his foray into the horror genre, then we can’t wait to see what he’s concocting right now.

With that, you should just watch and enjoy Marbles here.

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.
