Key and Peele discuss how from here on out it's all downhill._ by Judd Apatow  Keegan-Michael Key (left) and Jordan Peele Keegan-Michael Key (left) and Jordan Peele Chris Buck for TIME **Correction appended, April 24, 2014**. I don’t laugh out loud much anymore. I have seen way too much comedy, and one might say I am dead inside. But Key and Peele make me laugh — hard. These guys are crazy funny. They are smart, satirical, ridiculous, pointless, political, subversive, immature and important all at the same time. They know what they are doing and are ready for their moment. I’m equally impressed by their friendship. These two men seem amazed and grateful to have found each other. And they come alive when kicking around ideas, in perfect sync, offering ways to build and expand each other’s premises. It is a wonder to behold. We are writing a screenplay together, and I hope one day we make a movie. But regardless, every time I leave a meeting with them, I feel like I have been a part of something very special. It is comedy and love dancing together, and it is the best of the human race. (I think I went too far — but they are funny.) _Apatow is a producer, director and_ _Emmy-winning_ _screenwriter_ **Correction:** The original version of this post misrepresented Apatow’s accolade. He is an Emmy-winning screenwriter. ## Transcript This is a home. Yes. [ INAUDIBLE ]. Straight up somebody's home. [ SOUND ] Who's been the most important person in your life? my, parents, if I an answer with a plural. Because I think, they have completely shaped how I have decided to behave in the world. And I mean, pretty much everything I've ever learned from them. Well, I can't not say my mom now. [ LAUGH ]. Because she would be very offended. No, but in, in all honesty, my, my, my mother, gave me the tools to collaborate, to have artistic vision and passion. She always told me I, I did great. You know, I think even when I didn't do great. So she gave me a, unreasonable confidence. Action. [ NOISE ] [ LAUGH ] Here we go. When I first found out that we were gonna be in the Time 100. [ LAUGH ]. That was a crazy moment. I knew I had to, call my mother. I was, curious who, numbers two through 100 would be. My first reaction was, that this can't be right, thought we hadn't done enough yet. [ LAUGH ] So, so, it's, it's like this startling honor, you know, you kind of living your life and, and, and doing something that you think may be useful, and is fun and to be recognized. [ MUSIC ] Just for that. It's amazing. It is, I don; t know why am smiling. [ LAUGH ]. So it's absolutely downhill from here. Right? [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ CROSSTALK ]. [ LAUGH ]. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/2014-time-100/71000/keegan-michael-key-and-jordan-peele-2014-time-100/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/2014-time-100/71000/keegan-michael-key-and-jordan-peele-2014-time-100/"},"headline":"Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele","datePublished":"2014-04-24T02:23:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-09-03T11:20:51.389Z","description":"The new faces of funny","url":"https://time.com/collections/2014-time-100/71000/keegan-michael-key-and-jordan-peele-2014-time-100/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt80927337328cde26/69868b54169ab0802a278dfa/key-and-peele-keegan-michael-key-jordan-peele-time-100-feat.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[],"creator":"Time","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt80927337328cde26/69868b54169ab0802a278dfa/key-and-peele-keegan-michael-key-jordan-peele-time-100-feat.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/2014-time-100/","name":"The 100 Most Influential People"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/2014-time-100/71000/keegan-michael-key-and-jordan-peele-2014-time-100/","name":"Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Key & Peele on Their Biggest Influences","description":"Key and Peele discuss how from here on out it's all downhill.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/zbLyi4C4/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-04-24T10:24:37.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/zbLyi4C4.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/2014-time-100/71000/keegan-michael-key-and-jordan-peele-2014-time-100/","duration":"PT1M32S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/2014-time-100/71000/keegan-michael-key-and-jordan-peele-2014-time-100/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
