Peter Atencio has had a great Tumblr blog since 2007. Peter Atencio also has a show premiering tonight called called Key & Peele. It’s a sketch comedy show starring two guys named Keegan Michael Key & Jordan Peele who are incredibly smart and funny. It’s on Comedy Central, which also has a great Tumblr blog.

Key & Peele : Comedy Central : 10:30/9:30c tonight

Comic Rob Delaney, who also has a great Tumblr blog, said this about the matter:

The director of every episode is Peter Atencio, who is not just a hired gun who they thought “Oh, he’s safely and dependably directed a bunch of sketch comedy shows or a bunch of Comedy Central shows so we know he won’t fuck it up.” No, he’s a very young precocious asshole who is (and I apologize for using this word) an artist. I mean that in the best way; there are cinematic techniques used in the show that are wildly creative and exciting and beautiful that add elements to the show’s feel that Rick Sloan, a hack director I just made up, would never have thought up or bothered with.

Want to know more? Peter was interviewed for Splitsider, which also has a great Tumblr blog, by Natasha Vargas-Cooper, who also has a great Tumblr blog.
