On to the next job.

“Key & Peele” may have aired for five seasons, but its stars barely cross paths with each other now.

“We don’t see each other that often anymore,” Keegan-Michael Key told People in a new interview. “Which is, to me, a tragedy.”

Key and Jordan Peele were previously roommates before becoming creative partners.

“Your lives start to evolve and move in different directions,” Keegan-Michael added to the outlet.

Key and his wife, Elle Key, are based in New York City. Peele, meanwhile, lives in Los Angeles with his wife, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” alum Chelsea Peretti.

The pair first hit it off when they trained together at Chicago’s Second City and went on to appear on Fox’s MAD TV in 2004. Their sketch comedy “Key & Peele” eventually made it to Comedy Central and ran for five seasons from 2012 to 2015.

The series earned them an Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series in 2016.

“When we were on camera, it was alchemy. It was just like, ‘Why is this working?’” Key wondered to People. “I was playing the clown more and doing more physical comedy in the beginning of our time together, and then I found myself evolving into playing more of the straight roles and teeing up Jordan to play the clown.”

Since then, the duo have taken on different avenues in the industry.

“Our evolution, I think, is tied to both of what our desires are,” Key explained. “His desire was to start exploring the horror genre, and my desire was to do more dramatic work like I had been trained in school.”

Although both “jumped to another platform,” Key stayed mainly in front of the camera with roles in “Friends From College,” “IF,” “Schmigadoon” and “Wonka,” Peele wrote and directed “Get Out,” “Us” and “Nope.”

Although they don’t see each other too often, the actors have worked together since “Key & Peele.” They worked together on 2016’s “Keanu,” both voiced characters in 2019’s “Toy Story 4” and appeared in 2022’s “Wendell & Wild.”
