When Keegan-Michael Key first met Jordan Peele, he says, “It was a thrilling time in my life.”
“We lived together for a few months and would write and talk about comedy - who we liked and why we liked them and how that worked in the architecture of what we were trying to build comedically,” he says.
Because they had both previously trained at Chicago’s Second City and “shared a creative language,” adds Key, “when we were on camera, it was alchemy. It was just like, ‘Why is this working?’”
Unfortunately, in the near-decade since the Emmy-winning Key & Peele concluded on Comedy Central, “we don't see each other that often anymore,” he says of Peele, 45. “Which is, to me, a tragedy.”
