Key is perhaps best known as one-half of the comedy duo Series/KeyAndPeele with Creator/JordanPeele, whom he met while starring on the Creator/{{FOX}} late-night sketch comedy series ''Series/MadTV''. Their own sketch series, also titled ''Key & Peele'', ran on Creator/ComedyCentral from 2012 to 2015. In 2016, Key and Peele starred in the comedy film ''Film/{{Keanu}}'', which they also produced.

Key is perhaps best known as one-half of the comedy duo Series/KeyAndPeele with Creator/JordanPeele, whom he met while starring on the Creator/{{FOX}} late-night sketch comedy series ''Series/MadTV''. Their own sketch series, also titled Originally, FOX hired Key and Peele so the executives could choose which African-American cast member they wanted. However, Key and Peele ended up both being hired back because of their comedic chemistry and both of them had memorable characters and celebrity impressions. Keegan-Michael Key's most memorable recurring characters include Coach Hines (a quick-tempered Catholic school gym teacher who wears short-shorts and threatens students, including Bobby Lee's character, Yamanashi)[[note]]on the penultimate episode of ''[=MADtv=]'', it's revealed that Coach Hines is heir to the Heinz Ketchup company and took a job as a Catholic school coach/gym teacher so he can help delinquent students[[/note]], Jovan Musketelle (a shirtless man with a jheri curl and a shower cap who interrupts live news broadcasts by a reporter -- always played by Ike Barinholtz -- and annoys him with rapid fire accounts of events that have happened frequently exclaiming "It was crazy as hell!"), and Eugene Struthers (a delivery man who accosts celebrities). His celebrity impressions on ''[=MADtv=]'' include Keith Richards, Barack Obama[[note]]coincidentally, Jordan Peele played Obama on ''Key & Peele'', and Peele''. The reason Jordan didn't play Obama on ''[=MADtv=]'' was because Peele left the show[[/note]], Kobe Bryant, Roscoe Orman[[note]]Gordon from ''Sesame Street''[[/note]], and even such female celebrities as Phylicia Rashād, Robin Antin, and Eva Longoria (as Gabrielle Solis on a ''Desperate Housewives'' parody). Unlike Jordan Peele, Key stayed on ''[=MADtv=]'' until it ended its run on FOX in 2009.


After ''[=MADtv=]'', Key and Peele went to Creator/ComedyCentral, where they had their own self-titled sketch show that
ran on Creator/ComedyCentral from 2012 to 2015. In 2016, Key and Peele starred in the comedy film ''Film/{{Keanu}}'', which they also produced.
