Keegan-Michael Key’s Most Popular YouTube Videos
Interviewer: So, Keegan, your YouTube channel has gained quite a following, with millions of views on some videos. Can you tell us about one of your most viewed videos and what you think makes it so popular?
Keegan-Michael Key: Sure, I can definitely do that. My most viewed video is probably the “Substitute Teacher” sketch from Key & Peele with over 150 million views. I think it’s popular because people can relate to the struggles of mispronunciations and misspelling of their names in school. I also believe that humor is a universal language, and this video showcases that.
Interviewer: That’s awesome, and we have to admit, that sketch is pretty hilarious. What would you say is the secret behind your success on YouTube?
Keegan-Michael Key: I think humor plays a significant factor in my success on YouTube. I strive to educate people through laughter because I think humor is a great way to break down barriers and bring people together. Additionally, I try to create content that is relatable to my audience and that they can connect with on a personal level.
The Impact of Key’s Comedic Skits on People’s Names
Interviewer: We noticed that some of your comedic skits impact people’s names. For example, some people named Aaron now get called “A A-ron,” and some people named Kelsey are now called “Kee-ley.” What’s your take on this?
Keegan-Michael Key: (laughs) Yes, I’ve noticed that. Unfortunately, it’s not intentional. We never set out to ruin anyone’s name or make it difficult for them. I think it just comes down to the relatability of the skits. A lot of people can relate to mispronunciations and misspellings of their names, and the skits showcase that. I think it’s just a fun way to connect with the audience, and I’m glad that people enjoy it.
Chrome Extension Featuring Key’s Image and Top-Rated Movies
Interviewer: We also came across a Google Chrome extension called “Keezy Key” that features your image. Can you tell us a little bit about it and what it’s all about?
Keegan-Michael Key: Yeah, I heard about that. I think it’s pretty cool. From what I understand, it replaces ads with my face or some other recognizable image, which is kind of funny. I’m not sure how much it really helps with productivity or anything, but if it makes people smile, I’m all for it.
Interviewer: While we’re on the topic of your image, can you tell us which of your top-rated movies is your favorite, and why?
Keegan-Michael Key: That’s a tough one. I would have to say that one of my favorites is definitely The Lion King. I mean, who doesn’t love that movie, right? But if I had to pick a non-animated movie, I would probably go with Don’t Think Twice. It was a more dramatic role for me, and I enjoyed the challenge of stepping out of my comfort zone.
Hashtags on Instagram with Key’s Name
Interviewer: We also noticed that there are several hashtags on Instagram with your name. How do you feel about that, and do you ever search them to see what people are posting?
Keegan-Michael Key: I think it’s pretty funny, to be honest. It’s always a little surreal to see my name in a hashtag. And, yeah, I do search them every now and then. It’s interesting to see how people interact with my content and what they have to say about it. Plus, it’s always great to see when people are using humor to spread positivity and make people laugh.
Interviewer: That’s awesome. And speaking of humor, we can see that you have a great sense of humor throughout this conversation. Do you ever find yourself in situations where you’re not able to be funny or make people laugh?
Keegan-Michael Key: (laughs) Absolutely. There are definitely times where it’s not appropriate to be making jokes, and I’m conscious of that. But I always try to find a way to inject humor into situations, even if it’s just to lighten the mood a little bit. Overall, though, I hope that people see me as more than just a comedian. I feel like humor, for me, is a way to educate and spread positivity, and I hope that shines through.
