The First Joke Elle Key Ever Told Keegan-Michael Key

[@Logic-101]

The way he is looking at her the whole interview is genuine love.

[@jalabi99]

These two make my heart smile. Look at how he looks at her, and they were holding hands the entire time! awwwww

[@chamamemestre]

I don't think you know what "entire time" means: 03:45 and dozens of other times.

[@longlivedemocracy756]

I don’t know how long they have been married, but I saw it too. They definitely look like they are in love.

[@Scarcro1]

​@@chamamemestreHe couldn't keep his hands off of her for more than 15 seconds. How's this edit?

[@sadiesanerd]

I love how thoroughly and emphatically they support each other's success! What a marvelous partnership.

[@angelaa7388]

Keegan looks at her with such love, it brings a tear to my eye.

[@b-dub6865]

The way he looks at her is so cute. You can tell they’re best friends who fell in love & got married. ❤

[@amoebastampede9357]

I got to see them talk about their book at NYC's Symphony Space a few weeks ago. I thought "Wow, now there is a couple in LOVE." Keegan and Elle looked at each other in the way you just mentioned; there were moments when they held each other's hands and even kissed each other's hands. Kenan Thompson was the interviewer and he told them "Y'all are too cute." 😊

They are so freaking adorable! Humor isn't everything in a relationship, but it's SO IMPORTANT!!! Being able to laugh keeps you sane. It helps you get through even the worst moments.

[@longlivedemocracy756]

We must always maintain the ability to laugh. There’s nothing better.

[@florencedelvalle8145]

My husband told me that joke years ago and I laughed so hard because I didn’t expect that punchline. We are married 33 years and he still makes me laugh. I think this couple is going to be together for the long haul!😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

[@marysmith5003]

Watching the way they watch each other as they talk, they look as if they adore each other.

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

What a charming (and hilarious) couple! Love em!

[@KaiserSaucy]

Stephen takes less than 3 seconds to hear an idea for the very first time & come up with “The Bourne Soliloquy” off the cuff. It is honestly crazy how fast his comedic mind works. And then he throws it away without even looking for the laugh to carry on seamlessly with the interview. That’s why he’s the best in the business. Absolutely incredible wit.

[@ef5686]

I took note of the same!

[@h3artands0uLL]

I was super impressed by that!

Key and peele show is like wine. Every year they are more appreciated, some of their social messages are becoming more important. Their scetch about confederate reenectors always hits the right buttons. . Key was great in the show. His accents and transformations were suburb. His wanna be robber trying to buy supplies at pawn shop accent was a masterpiece. He is definitely an icon of his own.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Key and Peele* / their sketch* / his accents were superb* (suburb = small town adjacent to a big town)

[@moogogaipan]

They stole it from chappelle

[@lanabarley4156]

That joke was brilliant! What a gaze Keegan has for his Elle!! Oh my gosh, that's just beautiful. What a sweet couple. 💓

[@djinnko]

They're funny and charming. My only complaint is that this segment was way too short. Bring them back! And I want to see more of Keegan's impersonations.

[@aarongill2942]

Yeah really surprised Colbert didn’t dive into the book seems right up his alley

[@masondegaulle5731]

Keegan is wearing the heck outta that suit

[@outkastbowiecollaborationi6963]

Agreed. Sharp as a tack.

[@yveanmore]

Love them together! A loving power couple.

[@sewgatormomm]

Oh, we need more time with these two! What a great couple and two of the best comedic minds to boot.

[@ElSantoLuchador]

OMFG. A celebrity that married for love? He made the right choice. I like it when you can clearly tell couples love each other very much. That's rare.

[@Scarcro1]

Ikr? What a novel idea to marry for love instead for publicity.

[@capt_bry]

i can see why he is enamored with her. she's a gem.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Oh they are adorable together and her dress is absolutely gorgeous !! I would wish for someone to look at me the way he looks at her 💜💙I’ve always enjoyed his comedy I bet they work great together . Nice to meet Elle 💜

[@bluegreenglue6565]

I will absolutely buy that book. Sketch comedy shaped my childhood and my coping mechanisms. Family jokes still contain Land Shark quotes.

[@tommunyon2874]

Being good friends is the key. My late wife and I stayed together for 45 years until we were parted by death. Very few gave us a chance at first. No one has been able to take her place as "best friend" to the same degree.

[@kinngrimm]

Might be an old-fashioned notion, yet she reminded me of the saying "behind every great man stands a great woman" They make a terrific team. Even though i don't know them well, seeing that little grin and anticipation when she tells her side of a story gives me that inkling.

[@propogandalf]

Big fan of Keegan but never met him. Met Elle at the Waldorf Astoria in 2019 during the Oscars gifting suite. I was hired by Save The Girls to shoot video and photos. Very nice and a woman to be respected in her own right as a film producer. So happy to see them together in the show. A true power couple.

[@Scarcro1]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm thrilled hear that she's really as nice as she appears.

[@xhighone]

Wow, that's a wonderful memory to have man.. thanks for sharing that snippet of insight into the human being that is Mr Key!

He is/was a good friend of my good friend’s fiance and was at their wedding. I dont remember much about him at all, v low key. He was there w his first wife, who was a prof in MI.

[@sir_vix]

I want to believe you... But it just seems like too big a risk that one or both of you are actually George Santos. And worse, if you're not, that just increases the chances that I'm George Santos.

He married a smart, accomplished, assertive, lovely lady who shares common professional goals and interests and is HIS OWN AGE! I respect him so much for that. There are A LOT of older guys with MUCH younger wives and girlfriends in hollywood. Keegan and Keanu are such a breath of fresh air for preferring to be with non-plastic, real women whos worth goes deeper than just being a young, hot piece of ass who smiles and keeps her mouth shut! I also love how she seems to genuinely, naturally talk him up. They seem to really respect and support eachother. They seem to be a good, equally yoked couple. ❤
