Fans of Key and Peele and How I Met Your Mother are in for a treat as one star from each respective series will star, together, in a new Netflix series. Keegan-Michael Key and Colbie Smulders will take on Friends From College, which comes from power couple Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco. Annie Parisse, Nat Faxon, Fred Savage and Jae Suh Park round out the cast. The story has the group of friends (all of whom graduated from Harvard) meeting up in their 40's. Of course they all have different degrees of success. Stoller and Delbanco will write and executive produce the eight episodes while Stoller will direct.
Watch all the Key & Peeles to your little heart’s content
Comedy Central may have lost two champions when the sketch series Key & Peele ended but now fans can stop rewatching the handpicked sketches on YouTube and head over to a new site dedicated to the series. That’s right, five full seasons worth of sketches -- as well as 176 that have never been available online -- are now live on a new site. What's more is that GIFS, and a vocalized dictionary are now there for you to share your love of communicating with your bitches and Dicknanigans. Comedy Central also thought ahead and registered domains that all link back to the original site: liamneesons.com, obamaandluther.com, Isaidbiiiiiiiiiitch.com, meeganandandre.com and insubordinateandchurlish.com and holygarbanzobeans.com. Personally, Isaidbiiiiiiiiiitch.com is now in my bookmark section.
Squarespace, Key & Peele will live commentate "The Big Game"
With Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key ending their successful comedy series and working on a couple of movies, you would think the two of them had enough of each other. Now the two friends are joining Squarespace in celebrating the really big football game. Mashable reports that the comedians will be commentating during the Super Bowl for those who want character based comedy coupled with their sporting events on a newly built Squarspace site.
The two will play Lee and Morris, two aspiring Atalanta sportscasters who are essentially real life cartoons as they host Real Talk. However, they're not allowed to use the name "Super Bowl" or anything else trademarked by the NFL so prepare to hear phrases like "Big Game" and "Football Christmas" and "American Football League National Championship Series." It's also great to note that C+ Comedy is brought to you by Squarespace but I HAVE YET TO SEE ANY EMAILS ABOUT DOING ADS.
'Key & Peele' showrunners to develop a buddy comedy in 'The Romeos'
Key & Peele is over and everyone is moving on with their careers. Keegan-MIchael Key will do some big acting things while Jordan Peele will write and act and probably be great at everything he does. The show's executive producers/showrunners, Ian Roberts and Jay Martel, are moving up as well as they head to ABC with their new comedy series The Romeos, Deadline reports . Although it sounds like a show in which Romeo Miller plays twin versions of himself the series will focus on old men. Romeo is said to stand for Retired Older Men Eating Out while the show revolves "around two completely dissimilar 65-year-old neighbors who join forces to take full advantage of their second acts — driving each other, and everyone around them, crazy in the process." The Romeos will also be written by the duo.

“‘Why? With Hannibal Buress’ - (Series Premiere) - 10:30 PM
’Why? With Hannibal Buress’ celebrates Buress’ hilariously brilliant off-beat voice and point-of-view. If it’s in the zeitgeist, Buress will address it, providing his unique perspective on each week’s topic, answering the burning questions on his mind through stand-up, filmed segments, man-on-the-street interviews and special, in-studio guests. “Why? With Hannibal Buress” will be a weekly, half-hour series shot in front of a studio audience and each episode will tape the same week it airs. The series is executive produced by Buress, Jeff Stilson (“The Chris Rock Show,” “Da Ali G Show”) and Dave Becky of 3 Arts Entertainment.”
“‘Another Period’ - (Series Premiere) - 10:30 PM
Before others claimed their fame, there was one American family that stood for all that was spoiled, shameless and stupid. Meet the Bellacourts – Newport, RI’s first family of the Gilded Age. They are The Original Ballers. They have tons of money, live in a big-ass mansion and employ a whole team of Fonzworth Bentleys. However, the Bellacourts’ servants have to do a lot more than hold umbrellas.
The original out of touch reality family is coming to Comedy Central in “Another Period,” a turn-of-the-century historical and satirical scripted series that follows the insanely ridiculous and debaucherous life of the Bellacourts, who have more servants than relatives and whose days are filled with money, sex, drugs and more money. “Another Period” centers on the Bellacourt sisters, Lillian (Natasha Leggero) and Beatrice (Riki Lindhome), who only care about being rich and becoming super famous (which is a lot harder in 1902).”
