Conan O'Brien welcomes two hilarious guests to his set in this episode: Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. These two comedians are best known for their hit show "Key & Peele," which frequently goes viral with its hilarious and cutting-edge sketches. Throughout the episode, O'Brien chats with both Key and Peele about their comedy careers, their unique partnership, and their latest projects.

The first half of the show features a lively and wide-ranging discussion with Key and Peele. O'Brien asks the duo about their comedic influences, their origins in improv, and how they approach writing and performing their sketches. Key and Peele also share some behind-the-scenes stories from "Key & Peele," including some of their favorite characters to play and the wildest ideas they've ever come up with for sketches.

One of the highlights of the discussion is when Key and Peele talk about how they push the envelope with their comedy. Despite the show's popularity, many of the sketches deal with controversial topics, such as race, politics, and even terrorism. Key and Peele explain that they aren't afraid to tackle these subjects because their main goal is to make people laugh. They also feel that it's important to address these topics in a humorous and thought-provoking way.

The second half of the show features actress Zoey Deutch, who is promoting her new movie "Before I Fall." Deutch, who has worked on a range of film and TV projects, shares some stories from the set of the movie and talks about what drew her to the character she plays. O'Brien also asks her about her famous family (her mother is actress Lea Thompson), and how she got her start in acting.

Throughout the show, there are also several comedy sketches and clips that showcase Key and Peele's talent for hilarious characters and biting satire. One sketch features the characters Luther and Obama, which became one of the show's most popular recurring bits. Another sketch involves a football team with some questionable names and mascot choices. The show also includes a fake trailer for a horror movie called "The Mummy."

Overall, this episode of "Conan" is a must-see for fans of comedy and pop culture. With its mix of top-notch interviews, side-splitting sketches, and sharp satire, it's a hilarious and entertaining hour that will leave viewers laughing and wanting more.
