I didn’t know him very well, thought he was just a comedian, but then I saw him read at Letters Live (look it up) and I discovered a whole new side of him. Lovely man.
You are right to be proud. He is an absolute delight no matter what he does. I'm from NC, I guess our closest equivalent would be North Wilkesboro's very own Zach Galifianakis (bet y'all didn't know he's from North Carolina)
He’s such a talented comic actor. He’s like the kind of feel good happy comic stars from a time before the cynical edgy comics we get today. It’s refreshing and wholesome.
An english guy here. Went straight from watching t hese two talk to looking at a top 30 of Barry's work. Now experience of us football but im totally amazed by that man on the field. Can only imahone how keegan must have felt..bravo both
I like that he’s getting his spotlight and the recognition he deserves. Jordan was first to get fame once they went separately but good to see he’s getting his and even surpassing Jordan. Love KMK!
I 1000% agree! Just the other day I told my friend I was her anger translator and sent her one of the first videos. It made us laugh when we both really needed it
Not anger management, anger translation. The whole premise of the bit was that Obama never got angry, so he needed someone to personify his emotions, and that took the form of Luther, Obama's anger translator
Lmao!!! That's exactly a Renaissance festival! Swords and mead, good times lol. Btw...love his character in Let's Be Cops, so freaking funny!! Long time key and Peele fan. Love the Landlord sketches!
I have some dvds of Jack Benny! He was soooooo funny and fast with a joke! And his timing and face expressions were crazy funny! Gracy Alien was soooooo great too! George Burns was a great straight man/very chilled while everyone else is laughing.
I'm a Packer fan for life, but I have lived most of my life in Michigan, and it is for the many people like Keegan that I can root for the Lions this year. I always like to see the Pack on top, but I would also love to see my fellow Michiganders FINALLY get a taste of football success.
He is so underrated! He is a total riot! 😂 My wife demands I get a vasectomy! The thought scares the hell out of me! But!! If I was given the chance to have lunch with Keegan, I would get the procedure done! Otherwise, those scissors arent going anywhere near my family jewels! 😂
this is a weird comment. hoping (as is humanity ... NOW) that you have lunch with him. (seriously ... weird that you're subverting your wife below Keegan.)
I want him- more than anything- to be D’Whight off of the king burger sketch with Anjelah Johnson. I’d watch an entire show about that every day… day after day… month to month haha
I'll never forget in 2013 we went to Van Nuys to interview Keegan and Jordan on the 'Key & Peele' set of one of their sketches "Lando's Fan'. We were I believe the very first crew/online news outlet to go interview them on set when they're show was on Comedy Central. Hot as hell due to the lights but such a fun time and they allowed us to eat lunch with them. My camera guys and I tried to extend our stay another hour and just watch them work, but we had to get back to CBS to edit. Nicest guys, awesome to see them keep at it.
👩🎤 I will never forget when he stood next to President Obama at the Correspondence event and played the President’s “angry” personality character. I’ve been a fan ever since 👍
Best reaction ever. Love Keegan! I use to watch Mad TV religiously. I have no interest in sports, but now I want to know why Barry Sanders left as he did! Great story.
I'm a 49ers fan, but if the Lions had held on to make it to the Super Bowl I'd be rooting for them. Nothing against the Chiefs, but the Luons would *clearly* be the sentimental favorite.
I didn’t know him very well, thought he was just a comedian, but then I saw him read at Letters Live (look it up) and I discovered a whole new side of him. Lovely man.
Was it the letter about the artefacts sent to the museum?
I love letters live. Will look it up. Thanks
Did you never see him as Obama’s Anger Translator?
Uou should Watch the sketch where he was a substitute teacher. That was HILARIOUS
@@naylas3908 oh, yeah, that was him! I did think that was funny, but the letter he read was serious, and I think he would be a great serious actor.
I'm a Michigander and am SO proud of this man. He's a wonderful representative for our incredible state. ❤️
He goes "Detroit? Detroit?" and I was like "Yes, Detroit!"
You are right to be proud. He is an absolute delight no matter what he does.
I'm from NC, I guess our closest equivalent would be North Wilkesboro's very own Zach Galifianakis (bet y'all didn't know he's from North Carolina)
AND HE'S A DETROIT LIONS FAN!!!😱❤👌
@@redstone51 I'm sure he's celebrating tonight!!!
Used to watch him in the Key and Peele skits. Bro has come a long long way. ❤
I feel old.... I've known him since MadTV
Still the best of comedy and talent.
Love this guy. He is so talented. And so funny. Whenever I see that Keegan-Michael Key is on a show, I'm there.
The talent exuding out of him…adore this guy!!
One of the best comic minds alive. I like how he really digs into the history of his craft.
I'd love to meet him. He always seems to be in such a great, infectious mood. Always smiling and making people laugh.
He’s such a talented comic actor. He’s like the kind of feel good happy comic stars from a time before the cynical edgy comics we get today. It’s refreshing and wholesome.
Kind of like wayne brady
MadTV was probably the most edgy thing aired on television.
I rarely stay for guests. Usually I watch the monologue and dip out, but Keegan is one of those dudes you gotta stay for. Great actor, great guy!
Thank you Mr. Kimmel for having him on your show - LOVE HIM: Like! Like! Like!
Love Keegan!
Who doesn't love Keegan!!!! Such a great talent and genuine guy!
I love this man's vibes
Barry Sanders is a legend, so glad he got to meet his hero!! Jimmy, you have to watch his documentary!
This movie was just lovely - a big warm hug & perfect family holiday movie!
Loved him with he was with the Second City here in Detroit.
An english guy here.
Went straight from watching t hese two talk to looking at a top 30 of Barry's work.
Now experience of us football but im totally amazed by that man on the field.
Can only imahone how keegan must have felt..bravo both
I've just binged Friends From College and watching this interview was a delight. Thanks for making a show that really resonated with me
I watched that too. So good in that and so good on Key and Peele. Also, the Michael Jordan skit on SNL
A-Aron ….Jack-quellen….Tim-o-thee. Love Key! Funny AF! 👊❤️👊
What a sweetheart.
Intelligent man. Key and Peele was so good. So natural.
I’m only 68 and I love Jack Benny
he always seems like an awesome human
Was just watching mad TV last night. Such a hilarious show and definitely worthy of a reboot!!
I'm not a fierce foorball fan, but I have always enjoyed watching the Lions play on Thanksgiving, good or bad. It is a tradition.
I like that he’s getting his spotlight and the recognition he deserves. Jordan was first to get fame once they went separately but good to see he’s getting his and even surpassing Jordan. Love KMK!
Key's character in Keanu turned me on to George Michael. 😆
Substitute teacher!! A a ron, B la ke!!😂
I live in Michigan, he is so great as an actor!!!! Go Lion's!!!!!!! 💙💙💙💙
I love Keegan. I still watch Coach Hines regularly when I need a laugh.😊
Never forget manly tears skit hahaha love this guy so much. Always the best personality. It feels good to watch him be more successful.
Keegan-Michael Key with Obama as his anger management person was the most hysterical thing I have ever seen.
... agreed 😎👍🏻💙🇺🇸
I 1000% agree! Just the other day I told my friend I was her anger translator and sent her one of the first videos. It made us laugh when we both really needed it
Not anger management, anger translation. The whole premise of the bit was that Obama never got angry, so he needed someone to personify his emotions, and that took the form of Luther, Obama's anger translator
👩🎤 Ha ha ha I just commented the same thing. Everyone should look it up “Whitehouse Correspondence Dinner.” It was awesome 👏
Love Keegan!! He is amazing, so talented, home town son makes good. he'd be one of those actors to just hang out with. seems like such a fun guy too.
Lmao!!! That's exactly a Renaissance festival! Swords and mead, good times lol. Btw...love his character in Let's Be Cops, so freaking funny!! Long time key and Peele fan. Love the Landlord sketches!
Keegan Michael Key is the funniest sketch actor of all time, world class
True
So talented! I always laugh with Keegan😊
I have some dvds of Jack Benny! He was soooooo funny and fast with a joke! And his timing and face expressions were crazy funny! Gracy Alien was soooooo great too! George Burns was a great straight man/very chilled while everyone else is laughing.
Man I remember Keegan on Reno 911 ..hypothetically speaking " LOL. Like Comedy Avengers.
His pen should be in alot more stories n movies i believe he’s one of our great minds
Keegan is so brilliant!
I'm a Packer fan for life, but I have lived most of my life in Michigan, and it is for the many people like Keegan that I can root for the Lions this year. I always like to see the Pack on top, but I would also love to see my fellow Michiganders FINALLY get a taste of football success.
Love you Keegan ❤!!!
8:11 Key’s expert mastery with that reaction acting we saw countless times on Key and Peele
As a formerly long-suffering Chiefs fan, that’s pretty much how it feels.
sure, Chiefs.
but LIONS (omg). it's like being a Cubs fan pre 2017 (100 yrs)
We love keegan michael key
Such a soul…🫶🏻
Mr. Key is a comic genius 😂
I'm from Minnesota, and I loved Barry Sanders growing up.
He was almost untackleable, and had the BEST moves as a running back.
He’s soooo funny
Jimmy sounds like he wants to take a nap during this whole interview. Good thing Keegan brought the energy!
Lmao picturing Norman saying “bring the Jew.” Is pure gold 😂
Why is he so energetic 🧡🧡
The utter disbelief of the concept of the Lions ever making it all the way to the Super Bowl will never get old.
He is so underrated! He is a total riot! 😂 My wife demands I get a vasectomy! The thought scares the hell out of me! But!! If I was given the chance to have lunch with Keegan, I would get the procedure done! Otherwise, those scissors arent going anywhere near my family jewels! 😂
Well, let's hope he has lunch with you, then.
this is a weird comment.
hoping (as is humanity ... NOW) that you have lunch with him.
(seriously ... weird that you're subverting your wife below Keegan.)
What a funny guy! 🤣
I still get a kick out of the skit where he plays the teacher who mispronounces people's names. A-Aron 😂
UNDERRATED:
Friends from College
Netflix
2 Seasons 😊
Keegan on RENO:911 was one of the best recurring cameos of that show. Which is saying a LOT. 😂
Just the best 🤩
We love your show jimmy kimmel
I want him- more than anything- to be D’Whight off of the king burger sketch with Anjelah Johnson. I’d watch an entire show about that every day… day after day… month to month haha
😂😂😂i’d watch him in anything
8:11 Every Lions fan before recent events responded exactly like how Keegan did here when asked this question
😆
I'd love to watch a football game with KMK.
That was just about exactly how I reacted when the cubs won the World Series. Well done, Keegan!
Keegan is gold 👍😎✊
I knew there was another late night feud back in old late night shows 😂
Mccringleberry 👍
Very talented and funny.😅😅❤❤
I am under 70 and i remember Red Skeleton and Jack Benny and Jackie Gleason. Please stop the Ageism it is cruel. You will grow order toooooo! BE KIND❤
I always thought Key would make a fantastic oompa loompa.
Love Keegan-Michael and also I’m hoping for more Matt Damon and John Krasinski prank wars soon 🙏 😂
Keegan is one of the greatest comedians ever.
I'll never forget in 2013 we went to Van Nuys to interview Keegan and Jordan on the 'Key & Peele' set of one of their sketches "Lando's Fan'. We were I believe the very first crew/online news outlet to go interview them on set when they're show was on Comedy Central.

👩🎤 I will never forget when he stood next to President Obama at the Correspondence event and played the President’s “angry” personality character. I’ve been a fan ever since 👍
A textbook chats wit ended *perfectly* 🔫👏🤠
Could he be anymore personable and likeable? Love Keegan-Michael Key!
The Jack Benny line is "I'm thinking it over!"
Wonder if he called Chalamet Ti- MO -thee….
Someone from Detroit doesn't say one of the greatest running backs of all time. Barry stands alone.
3:43 - and the feud is continuing 😂
Keegan do impress
Great actor. I died when he pronounced Aaron, A A. Ron 💀💀
Michigan man! ❤
9:21 that fainted 🤣
Best reaction ever. Love Keegan! I use to watch Mad TV religiously. I have no interest in sports, but now I want to know why Barry Sanders left as he did! Great story.
hahah! Thank you!
Kimmel is not funny but for some reason I'm on a binge. Love Key
Simply Legend (Funny Bones) 😂👍
Keegan + Hugh Grant + Paddington 2 director? I'm in !
10:50 you actually sounded like Conan's old writer Andrés du Bouchet 😂
I felt like I was watching a Key and Peele skit in all of his scenes, it was such a bizarre feeling. Love his acting though.
I feel the same.
Go Lions!
one of the craziest dudes of this generation
I saw Barry Sanders play at Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.
❤ ❤❤❤❤
he's been funny in everything ive seen. loved him as a record producer in pitch perfect..2 iirc?
I'm a 49ers fan, but if the Lions had held on to make it to the Super Bowl I'd be rooting for them. Nothing against the Chiefs, but the Luons would *clearly* be the sentimental favorite.
I love Keegan he super funny at least to me he reminds me of another comedian we got in Canada Trent McClellan
Sheesh, sounds like Highlander! 😳🗡😂
Lady Santa is what’s next :) and baby Santa, Teen Santa (prequel), etc. Endless possibilities for Hollywood movies.
