KEY & PEELE Sketch "Substitute Teacher" is Becoming a Movie

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are the hilarious duo behind Comedy Central's Key and Peele, and lately they've been working to get their sketch titled "Substitute Teacher" made into a movie. On YouTube alone the video has over 72 million plays, essentially securing an audience for a movie adaptation. Just short of a full green light, Paramount Pictures has pre-emptively bought a Substitute Teacher movie pitch. While we've seen both actors in various movies and TV roles, it's going to be cool to see them make a full-length movie based on one of their own creations.

Deadline gives a little peak at what the film will be like:

Keegan-Michael Key will reprise his role as as the over-the-top substitute Mr. Garvey, and Jordan Peele will portray a rival teacher determined to be the students’ favorite.

Rival teachers sounds like a great concept full of lots of comedy opportunities. Key & Peele co-producers Rich Talarico and Alex Rubens will be writing the script.

I've embedded the sketch because even if you've seen it 100 times, it's still funny.
