Regardless of 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 Present went off the air. And though comparatively short-lived with simply over 50 episodes throughout 5 seasons, it left its mark and stands as among the finest cult sketch exhibits ever. However lengthy gone are these days of Key & Peele, each the present and the duo.
That is one thing that also bugs Keegan-Michael Key, who instructed Folks, “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 shifting 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.”

However for the reason that present went off the air again in 2015, Jordan Peele virtually instantly went into the horror recreation, delivering some of the acclaimed of this century thus far, 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 way of voice work, corresponding to Chip ‘n Dale, The Tremendous Mario Bros. Film and Transformers One, voicing Bumblebee.

As for future – however separate tasks – Key has the Jack Black-co-starring Expensive Santa and the Shane Black-directed Play Soiled lined up, whereas Peele is producing the game horror flick Him and establishing his subsequent characteristic for 2026.
