On 4 April 2012, President Obama appeared on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Falon," and he mentioned liking our son Alex's show on "Comedy Central, Key & Peele.  He particularly noted the bit that they do in which Jordan Peele imitates the President in the Oval Office, but has Keegan-Michael Key playing Luther, his "anger translator."  Here's what President Obama had to say:

Another wonderful Obama imitation involves the President teaching his daughter Malia to drive:

And even those of you who have watched the show may have missed an online-only feature, in which two guys (Vandaveon and Mike--Keegan and Jordan, of course), comment on the week's episode of "Key & Peele."  Here's their commentary on the first episode (but all of them are hilarious):
