Key and Peele Are Hosting the Weird Live Super Bowl Commentary We Never Knew We Needed

Go ahead, mute your TV now, and plan on listening to an intriguing alternative. This year, comedians Key Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele of Key & Peele fame will provide commentary for Super Bowl 50, and they’re bound to put that pussy on the chain wax.
In partnership with web design service Squarespace, Key and Peele have come up with two new characters that look like extras from Zoolander 2. Their names are Lee and Morris and they’ll provide a live play-by-play that won’t make you throw bean dip at your TV. CBS can’t say that.
