Has Keegan-Michael Key ever hosted Saturday Night Live?
Key hosted SNL once, on May 15, 2021. The Season 46 episode featured Olivia Rodrigo as the musical guest.
His monologue included a musical number that also featured Kenan Thompson and Cecily Strong, and a bit involving being confused by an audience member for his friend and frequent collaborator Jordan Peele.
The episode featured the sketch "High School Graduation," which saw Key play one of several proud parents who kept hilariously interrupting a graduation ceremony.
In another sketch, "The Muppet Show," Key played one of two overzealous bodyguards who gave a beatdown to a couple of the iconic puppets.

Who does Keegan-Michael Key voice in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
Just like he did in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Key voices Toad in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Toad is the longtime ally of Mario and Luigi and a proud resident of the Mushroom Kingdom.
While Toad is usually level-headed and reserved, one of the film's trailers shows him being rather unenthused about the addition of Yoshi to the squad. "So, some dinosaur just shows up and he's now part of the group?" Toad asks.
We'll find out how that plays out in the film when The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters nationwide on April 1!
