Keegan talks about meeting Norman Lear, playing Black Santa in our Gay Nutcracker bit with Sean Hayes, his book with his wife Elle called “The History of Sketch Comedy,” Jimmy’s feud with Matt Damon being mentioned in the book, his beloved Detroit Lions actually being good this year, meeting Barry Sanders for the first time and not handling it well, his reaction if the Lions were ever to go to the Super Bowl, playing a cop with a Brooklyn accent in Wonka, doing Hugh Grant and Shaq impressions, and working at a Renaissance Festival with very drunk people.

    Keegan-Michael Key with Obama as his anger management person was the most hysterical thing I have ever seen.

    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! 😂

    As a formerly long-suffering Chiefs fan, that’s pretty much how it feels.

    I hated the original Willy Wonka movie and don’t plan on seeing this mess.

    Barry Sanders is a legend, so glad he got to meet his hero!! Jimmy, you have to watch his documentary!

    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.
