Peele & Key Leave Too Soon

Just as the presidential campaigns get interesting, our friends Key & Peele have decided to hang up their comedy act after five season on Comedy Central. The last episode is this Wednesday night (September 9).  As a result, audiences will be deprived of a necessary palliative to this strange country and its daily insanity. 

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, both raised in mixed race families, were able to channel this nation's strange obsession with race into hard-hitting comedy sketches that illuminated the issues and educated the audience while also being pure fun.

In a recent article in The New York Times, Jordan Peele stated:

People need to be talking about the ways the system is skewed.  We want to use our ability to make people laugh to allow them to talk about it. 

President Obama may miss Luther most of all (shown below). With more than a year to go in his administration, I expect the Republicans will continue to block him at every pass. Luckily, President Obama seems to be finding his own inner Luther these days now that he can see his pending departure.
