On 4
April 2012, President Obama appeared on NBC's "Late
Night with Jimmy Falon," and he
mentioned liking our son Alex's show on "Comedy
Central, Key & Peele.
He particularly noted the bit that they do in which Jordan Peele
imitates the President in the Oval Office, but has Keegan-Michael Key
playing Luther, his "anger translator." Here's what President
Obama had to say:

And, in case you've not
seen it, here is the first of the Obama Anger Translator sketches:

Another
wonderful Obama imitation involves the President teaching his daughter Malia to drive:

And,
two of my very favorite sketches, "The Slave Auction":

and the "Movie
Hecklers":

And even those of you who have watched the show may have
missed an online-only feature, in which two guys (Vandaveon
and Mike--Keegan and Jordan, of course), comment on the week's episode
of "Key & Peele." Here's their commentary on the first
episode (but all of them are hilarious):
