How did these comedians get together in the first place, it all started on Twitter. Peretti was happy to share the tale of their meeting.
“Me and Jordan also met on the Internet, on Twitter. He was very complimentary of the Web series I once did. We were gonna go to Sizzler on our first… Am I supposed to talk about the fact that we live together? [Laughs] Or should I pretend he’s a business colleague?”
Peele and Peretti in person introduction credit goes to Andy Samberg.
“As soon as Andy learned that Jordan expressed an interest in Chelsea he was on it. Andy knew this was a great match so he made it very simple — he told Chelsea that Jordan was a good man and she needed to give him a shot. Before you knew it, the two of them were hooking up and now they’re inseparable.”

Jordan Peele is starting a whole new chapter in his life, with the ending of Key & Peele , he is actually stepping away from comedy and is now focusing on the horror genre.
“I’ve been spending the first half of my career focusing on comedy but my goal, in all honesty, is to write and direct horror movies. I have one that I’m working on with Darko Entertainment called ‘Get Out’ – I don’t want to say too much about it, but it is one of the very, very few horror movies that does jump off of racial fears. That to me is a world that hasn’t been explored. Specifically, the fears of being a black man today. The fears of being any person who feels like they’re a stranger in any environment that is foreign to them. It deals with a protagonist that I don’t see in horror movies.”
Peele will always been seen as a comedian in his fans eyes, it will be interesting to see how fans react to his change in genre. Regardless of Peele going into horror, Peele and Peretti will still be seen as a comedian couple.
There has been no more additional information regarding the comedians engagement. Keep your eyes on the comedians’ Twitter accounts, as the duo will surely post their updates there.
