Judd Apatow and 'Key and Peele' Team Up to Make a Movie

If you want to be able to tell your friends that you're up on the latest and greatest when it comes to comedy, you should have Key and Peele on your list of required viewing. For those who aren't familiar with the Comedy Central program, the show is led by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. The duo delivers a mix of comedic styles, mixing everything from brief standup bits to sketches with movie-quality production levels.

On Thursday, Deadline reported that Key and Peele were teaming up with Judd Apatow, securing a deal with Universal Pictures for the trio to write a movie that Key and Peele will star in.

“I love these guys because they are riotously, make you sick because you can’t stop laughing, funny,” Apatow said. “I think Key and Peele are capable of making the movie that America desperately needs right now.”

Key and Peele is the second show whose stars Apatow has set his sights on. In August, it was reported that he was producing a movie that Inside Amy Schumer star Amy Schumer would write and star in.
