Happy Birthday: Keegan-Michael Key

Keegan-Michael Key

Born: March 22, 1971 in Southfield, Michigan, USA

I was a special-needs child. It was like, ‘Here’s a kid with no arm. Here’s a blind kid. Here is a biracial kid. Let’s take the blind one.’ So because I’m high yellow, I’m special needs, which means I would dominate at the Special Olympics.

In regard to our show(Key and Peele), some people ask me sometimes ”What is the greatest thing that can happen to your show?” I said the greatest thing that can happen to my show, is that a kid watches something on whatever the equivalent of YouTube is 75 years from now and goes ”Why is this funny? I don’t understand this.” (Meaning that hopefully Americans will have solved the racism issues in the near future and thus kids won’t understand the shows humor on racism issues.)
