Trivia:

He auditioned by playing Barack Obama for Saturday Night Live and was offered to become a feature player but when the Writer's Strike came to pass in 2008, he found out that MADtv would be continuing and lost the part and the opportunity to be on "SNL". "SNL" cast member Fred Armisen plays Obama on that show and Peele now gets to write and perform his own Obama sketches on Key and Peele.

Personal Quote:

[Barack Obama] is the best thing ever to happen to black nerds. Up until Obama, it was basically Urkel and the black guy from Revenge of the Nerds - Lamar. Other than that, we had no role models. So he made us cool. See more »
