The Paul F. Tompkins-hosted web series Speakeasy is one of the best interview shows around, landing wonderful guests doing outrageous things. This week Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele joined Tompkins, and in the course of the interview, Tompkins challenged them to beat the Guinness World Record for most impressions performed in one minute. Tompkins then reels off 34 names—Oprah, Barbara Streisand, Cat Stevens, Super Mario, and so on—and Key & Peele attempt to keep up with the first sketch of an impression that comes to mind. Some are great (Gwyneth Paltrow, Bobby McFerrin), while others fall flat (Danny Trejo, Gandhi), and though it might not be good enough for Guinness, we agree with Key’s assessment at the end that surely such a valiant attempt could find a place in the Heineken Book Of World Records.
Watch the two comedians play a round of "Racist Or Really Need To Tell You Something" and the full interview with Tompkins right here.
