Jordan Peele Okay with Missing SNL Shot

Pop culture webzine Assignment X interviewed the latter half of the venerable sketch duo Key & Peele earlier this week, touching on topics from what makes edgy sketch comedy work ("you can't pick on the victims") to Peele's missed chance at lending his stellar Obama impersonation to SNL: "I had some good friends over there, and a great meeting with [executive producer] Lorne [Michaels] and they asked me to do it, but I couldn’t go for contractual reasons [with MADtv] … It was such a shame, SNL is one of my favorite shows of all time. I was inconsolable for a couple of years and [Key & Peele] happened. Everything happens for a reason, now we have our own show and couldn’t be happier." Doesn't that actually mean that everything doesn't happen for a reason? Because I haven't been asked to join the Harlem Globetrotters yet and am hoping that means I will one day find a money tree (Don't act like you haven't thought the same thing.) An all-new Key & Peele airs next Tuesday at 10:30/9:30c.
