Last year, Keegan-Michael Key was interviewed in Playboy by Eric Spitznagel. (I am just now getting to the article–my stack of magazines I need to catch up on is nuts.) Check out this passage:
You've said that you and [Jordan] Peele "fell in comedy love." How is that different from actual love? Key: It's not different at all. I get the same butterflies in my stomach. I saw him the other day...and I was like, wow, he's amazing.

I’m really lucky to know who I know, and I am thankful for them.
