    Last month, Michael Schneider sat down with Keegan-Michael Key, one half of the comedy duo Key & Peele on Comedy Central.

    Part of that interview aired on KCRW's The Business, but some of it had to be cut for time. Today, in honor of Key & Peele's final week on the air, we thought we'd run the whole conversation.
