Comedy Central's sketch comedy series "Key & Peele" will come to an end after this season, the network confirmed Sunday.

Co-creator and star Keegan-Michael Key told the online trade publication The Wrap that the decision to stop after the fifth season was his and Jordan Peele's. Key said it will give him and Peele time to "explore other things."

In one such departure from their own show, Key and Peele played a pair of FBI agents in the first season of the FX series "Fargo."

Among their popular sketches on Comedy Central were the "East/West Bowl" and Luther, President  Obama's Anger Translator — who appeared with Obama at the White House Correspondents' Dinner this year.

The show won a Peabody Award in 2013 and received a handful of Emmy nominations this year, including Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Key.

Season five of "Key & Peele" is currently airing and will run into September.
