Key & Peele is an American sketch comedy television show.[6] It stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, both former cast members of MADtv.[7] Each episode of the show consists of several pre-taped short comedic films starring the two actors that are introduced by Key and Peele in front of a live studio audience.
Production
On June 28, 2011, Comedy Central announced that there would be a new untitled sketch comedy starring Key and Peele.[2] In anticipation of the show, Key and Peele launched an online series in support of the program.[8] The series premiered on January 31, 2012 on Comedy Central in the U.S. and on The Comedy Network in Canada.[9][10]
The series has been renewed for a second season, which is scheduled to premiere on September 26, 2012.[11]
Episodes
Reception
Critical
Key & Peele has received positive reviews, maintaining a score 74 of 100 by the review agregrator site, Metacritic.[12]
On April 24, 2012, during an interview on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, President Barack Obama told the story of how he had watched the Key & Peele skit on himself with 'Luther, his Anger Translator', saying that "It's pretty good stuff - It's good stuff."[13]
Ratings
The first episode drew 2.1 million viewers, making it the most-watched Comedy Central launch since 2009.[14]
Rating
The show holds a TV-14 rating due to coarse language and violence.[1][15]
Vandaveon and Mike
Key & Peele have also created a Youtube commentary of their episodes under their alter-egos Vandaveon and Mike.[16] Vandaveon and Mike analyze an episode, and suggest that low brow humor would make it funnier. This is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. These videos were also added to On Demand offerings of Key & Peele episodes. The content of the commentary is unrated.[17]
DVD release
Comedy Central and Paramount Home Entertainment announced that on September 25, 2012 "Key and Peele - Season 1" will be released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Both formats will feature bloopers, outtakes, a "Poolside Interview," audio commentary with Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, "Backstage," "Split Their Pants," Key & Peele live at the South Beach Comedy Festival, and an easter egg of the show's theme song.[18]
International
Key & Peele premiered in Australia on the Comedy Channel on August 9, 2012.[19]
