'Key & Peele' Imagines Alternate Universe Where Teachers Are Celebrities
Now that we know that Comedy Central’s Key & Peele will end after this season (sob!), it’s important to cherish each and every sketch for the little work of hilarious art that it is. The duo’s latest creation is TeachingCenter, a highlights show a la SportsCenter that exists in a world where our nation’s educators were treated with the same reverence and celebration as professional athletes.

Playing commentators Boyd Maxwell and Perry Schmidt, Key and Peele report the latest headlines from “the exciting world of teaching,” complete with ESPN-style puns and slick graphics. In this alternate universe, an English teacher relocating to PS 431 in New York earns $80 million over six years, with an additional $40 million in incentives based on test scores.
