Less than a month after America renewed Barack Obama as president, Comedy Central has renewed his anger translator Luther, plus the sketch favorite "Key & Peele."
The cable network announced on Tuesday (November 27) that it has picked up a third 13-episode season for "Key & Peele," though it sounds as if the popular comedy series won't return until the fall of 2013. That sounds like a long time to wait.
Like us, everybody associated with the network and the show made the predictable Obama jokes.
"Since Obama won re-election, it only seems fair that we would give ‘Key and Peele’ another season," blurbs Comedy Central's Kent Alterman.
Stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele add, "“We are so thrilled about the pick-up and want to thank COMEDY CENTRAL for FOUR MORE YEARS!. Oh wait, what’s that? One more year? Oh... ok, that will work too."
Fittingly, "Key & Peele" will wrap its second season on Wednesday, November 28 at 10:30 p.m.
A long-time member of the TCA Board and a longer-time blogger of "American Idol," Dan Fienberg writes about TV, except for when he writes about movies or sometimes writes about the Red Sox. But never music. He would sound stupid talking about music.
