  • Nope, get out

    I first met the work of Jordan Peele through his comedy sketches with Keegan-Michael Key in Key & Peele.

    There’s always a first time for everything. Even if it took you a decade, doing it the first time is still as memorable as it could get. And I learned that it pays to be reliable day in and out.
