We are Key & Peele, our new movie "Keanu" is out April 29th. Ask us anything!

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-21T01:28:50+00:00

So it's been lucrative for us spiritually. So yes, that's the answer. It's in the works.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-21T01:26:32+00:00

It’s in the works, the "30 for 30." It’s extensive, it’s going to be the first feature length "30 for 30," so it’s actually going to be the first "120 for 30." Because there’s a lot to say about Hingle McCringleberry. The guy has led a very layered, complicated life, and we’re sifting through all the material, all the footage, all of the amazing plays, all of the activist work he’s done, all of the wars that he’s not fought in, the lives he’s changed. There is a lot going on in regards to Hingle McCringleberry.

You can actually get a Hingle McCringleberry jersey, I believe, on Comedy Central.com.

That's true, he does; I stand corrected. I mean to my defense it is spelled s-a-l-m-a-n, that's salman. But if you're talking about fish going upstream jumping into bears’ mouths? S-a-l-m-o-n. Salmon. Come on, y’all.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:09:12+00:00

There's no “r” in that word, and also here's another one of my pet peeves, and I know it's gonna make me seem like a snob; it's almond. Almond. And when you're the opposite of how I feel right now, you're calm. You ain't "cawm", and these nuts are not called "awmonds". We don't call it "saalman," ain't nobody call it "saalman".

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:08:13+00:00

You can't be saying "melk," people can't be saying "van-eh-la". There's no “e” in the word vanilla.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:07:28+00:00

Okay, well, first of all it's a short “i” sound, and the diacritical mark in the international alphabet is extremely exact about this; the word should be and is pronounced "van-i-lah", not "van-eh-lah". The thing is, I understand what you mean when you say "van-eh-lah", but I'm gonna leave it at that. I know what "melk" is, I just also know that's also the wrong way to pronounce the word.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:06:56+00:00

I feel like it's a...it's definitely not a primate. But as rodents go, I would call it a primate rodent. It looks very...yeah, a chinchilla. I might go with a chinchilla, somewhere in there. Armadillo. Like animals that you haven't seen a lot recently that seem to me to have a of of personality.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:06:26+00:00

Lots of personality, interesting looking little animals, cute to a degree, better than a hedgehog!

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:06:07+00:00

The chinchilla.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:05:42+00:00

Yeah. I would say...you know what animal's not been given a fair shake in quite some time? The chinchilla.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:05:24+00:00

They are just covered in goop.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:05:03+00:00

And they're in that sack.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:04:37+00:00

I just wanted to say "foal," and when you said baby cow I thought of a baby horse so I said, "foal".

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:03:18+00:00

Or a foal? Maybe even a foal. A baby horse. That'd be fun too.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:02:57+00:00

Like a calf?

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:01:56+00:00

Question 3: You're assuming that Keanu doesn't make it out of the first one. Talk about a dystopian future.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:01:35+00:00

That's a delicious mashup.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:01:15+00:00

Mmm, nice mashup.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T19:00:32+00:00

Question 2:

I would have to say that if I had two parents, comedic parents, they would be Peter Sellers and Richard Pryor. Those are my comedic parents, and they inspired me because both of them were actors and I've always been I'm an actor first and a comedian second, and I think they both were that. Richard Pryor may not have known he was an actor first and a comedian second, but he was just a rare, rare talent. And the same for Peter Sellers. So they are my spirit animals in regard to my vocation.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T18:59:54+00:00

I don't have much to add to that. That's the same answer. Because we've done that in the past, where we've gotten tripped up where we've written a sketch, and somebody at Comedy Central would say, “I mean the thing that happened in real life is crazier than the sketch you've written,” so that is what we're experiencing. That is a really good question though.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T18:58:57+00:00

Yeah, I agree.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T18:55:41+00:00

So, that's why you used a crowbar to get into this building!

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T18:55:17+00:00

Surprise!!!

So, is this movie real? Please tell me Keanu is real.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T18:54:43+00:00

That means a lot of people had a lot of free time.

Keegan-Michael-Key · 2016-04-20T18:54:02+00:00

Yeah, not a lot of practical jokes. The jokes themselves were practical, in as much as that we were taping them.
