Keegan-Michael Key References ‘Key & Peele’ Sketch During College Football Coverage


Nearly a decade after 'Key & Peele' ended, Keegan-Michael Key referenced a classic sketch on TNT's 'College Football Playoff Kickoff Show'.

They threw one last wild card in, making up the name D’Neckshaw Trapezius, which was jokingly displayed with a player against the ‘East/West College Bowl’ graphics. In the sketch, Key and co-star Jordan Peele took turns impersonating a series of fictional athletes, introducing themselves in an ESPN style promo with increasingly bizarre names, such as D’Squarius Green Jr., Xmus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon and [The Player Formerly Known As Mousecop]. After the duo first appeared together on Fox’s Mad TV in 2004, they landed their own self-titled show on Comedy Central, which ran for five seasons from 2012 to 2015.
