Keegan-Michael Key says he & Jordan Peele barely see each other
Despite being a part of a fan favourite sketch comedy present, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele barely hang around anymore.
Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele made sketch comedy cool once more for the primary time since Chappelle’s Show went off the air. And though comparatively short-lived with simply over 50 episodes throughout 5 seasons, it left its mark and stands as top-of-the-line cult sketch exhibits ever. But lengthy gone are these days of Key & Peele, each the present and the duo.
This is one thing that also bugs Keegan-Michael Key, who informed People, “We don’t see each other that often anymore. Which is, to me, a tragedy.” As for why Key & Jordan Peele don’t hang around, it comes down to easily transferring on and discovering new pursuits. “Your lives start to evolve and move in different directions. Our evolution, I think, is tied to both of what our desires are. His desire was to start exploring the horror genre, and my desire was to do more dramatic work like I had been trained in school…Both of us jumped to another platform — but we needed that first platform.”
That first platform, Key & Peele, introduced us among the most memorable bits in current reminiscence, with standouts together with East/West College Bowl, Continental Breakfast and, perhaps the reigning champ of all Key & Peele skits, Substitute Teacher. But for the reason that present went off the air again in 2015, Jordan Peele virtually instantly went into the horror recreation, delivering one of the acclaimed of this century to this point, Get Out, which earned him an Oscar for the screenplay. Keegan Michael-Key, in the meantime, has continued turning up in some high-profile tasks, primarily by means of voice work, comparable to Chip ‘n Dale, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Transformers One, voicing Bumblebee.
Despite the 2 occurring completely different skilled paths, they did ship the superior Keanu after Key & Peele went off the air and Henry Selick’s immensely satisfying Wendell & Wild. As for future – however separate tasks – Key has the Jack Black-co-starring Dear Santa and the Shane Black-directed Play Dirty lined up, whereas Peele is producing the game horror flick Him and organising his subsequent characteristic for 2026.
