An icon of American TV sketch comedy has compared some of the genre’s most-famous shows.
Keegan-Michael Key, best known for his work alongside Jordan Peele on their sketch comedy series, Key & Peele, opened up on how he got his start in the industry and the different shows that shaped his style during an appearance on Monday’s episode of the podcast Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard.
One of the shows he spoke about was In Living Color, which helped launch the careers of a number of A-listers, including many of the Wayans brothers, Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez and Jamie Foxx.
It aired from 1990 to 1994 and was seen as a peer to other, more-established comedy sketch shows such as Saturday Night Live and Mad TV, which Key starred on and served as a writer for five years.
