Watch Key & Peele’s Princeton Stadium Super Bowl sketch
Key & Peele filmed an entire Colbert bit in our stadium? When were they here!?
Apparently, Key & Peele showed up to Princeton Stadium one day to film a four-minute sketch without anyone noticing.
The video appeared on Stephen Colbert’s post-game coverage of Super Bowl 50. Though the piece makes no explicit mention of Princeton, any viewer familiar with the football stadium can immediately recognize the entire scene takes place on our field.

Following the worst offensive performance of any winning team in Super Bowl history, the skit was probably the best part of Sunday’s entire broadcast.
The snow falling in the first few shots of the scene suggests it was filmed fairly recently, but we’re still dying to know: when exactly the was the hottest comedy duo of our generation on campus, how the hell did no one notice, and when will they be back?
