Comedy Central's New Series KEY & PEELE to Premiere 1/31

Comedy Central will premiere its newest sketch-comedy series KEY & PEELE on January 31st at 10:30 pm/ET. In this new series these fresh, relevant comedic actor-writers, used to being on the outside looking in, will examine life in a provocative and irreverent way, through a combination of filmed sketches and live stage segments.

Whether it's satirizing the President, spoofing Nazis, or ordering up some soul food, KEY AND PEELE will showcase their chemistry, camaraderie and unique point of view, born from their shared background and experiences growing up biracial in a not quite post-racial world.
