Key & Peele:  Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele were in different sketch comedy troupes when they met at Second City about 10 years ago.  They became close friends, but often worked on separate projects.  Now, they’ve teamed up for a show that recently debuted on Comedy Central.  They’ll join us for laughs and calls throughout the hour.

Bears Free Agency:  Cheryl Raye Stout untangles the complex web known as NFL free agency.  Who did the team name as “hands off”?  Who will they try to pick up from other teams?  And can they get all the pieces of the puzzle while staying under the salary cap? 

Jason Sudeikis:  A graduate of Chicago’s Improv Olympic and Annoyance Theater, the Saturday Night Live cast member is blowing up-you’ll find him all over the big and small screen these days.  Now well-known for his “Mitt Romney”, he’s spoofed everyone from Glenn Beck to Rickey Gervais.  He’s also a hard-core Jayhawks fan, so with March Madness right around the corner, you know Jason Marck will hit him with a little KU Q&A.
