Key & Peele's 'Substitute Teacher' is becoming a movie
Good news, A-aron! Key & Peele's "Substitute Teacher" sketch will soon hit the big screen.
Paramount purchased a pitch for the movie, which will star Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, Deadline reports. The film will focus on Mr. Garvey (played by Key), an inner city teacher for 20 years who has a very hard time pronouncing names and cutting kids slack, and a rival teacher loved by all, to be played by Peele. The original "Substitute Teacher" sketch spawned a few sequels, and has been viewed more than 72 million times on YouTube. —Catherine Garcia
