The lights have gone down on Key & Peele, but Key and Peele already have a next phase mapped out, one in which movies will play a major part, both as a team and individually. (If you didn’t catch, say, their “Dubstep” bit when it aired, chances are it found you the next day.) And, as they discuss below, their biracial parentage and choice of subject matter made them especially well suited to break out in the Obama era. It no doubt helped Key & Peele - just as it’s helped Inside Amy Schumer and other shows - to arrive in time to serve an internet audience hungry for bite-sized bits of comedy to watch and share.
The contributing factors are more complex. Key & Peele produced some of the funniest comedy sketches in recent memory. The biggest reason is obvious: They’re hilarious. But it’s remarkable how quickly the two have gone from being a couple of guys best known for MADtv to cultural fixtures. To call Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele’s ascent since the 2012 debut of their recently concluded Comedy Central series Key & Peele “meteoric” would be an exaggeration.
