Keegan-Michael Key set to lead Penn State homecoming parade

STATE COLLEGE, Pa.

Penn State University is bringing alumnus Keegan-Michael Key to serve as the school’s homecoming grand marshal this week.

The Centre Daily Times reports the 44-year-old actor says he hopes to give back to the university where he received his master of fine arts degree in 1996.

Key says he was surprised when he was asked to be the grand marshal, citing other alumni he says were more deserving.

Key lives in Los Angeles and is known for being a part of the Comedy Central TV show “Key & Peele.”

He will lead the homecoming parade today and then attend the football game against Indiana on Saturday.

He says he wants to meet with students during his trip and urges them to choose majors they’re passionate about.

US actor Randy Quaid ordered released, faces deportation

MONTREAL

American actor Randy Quaid was ordered released Thursday by Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board but still faces being sent back to the United States next week.

Quaid appeared before the board for a detention review. A Canada Border Services Agency official told the board member hearing the case that Quaid was arrested because it was felt he wouldn’t comply with an order to leave the country next Wednesday. But that fear was rejected by the board member, and Quaid was ordered released.

Quaid, 65, was informed this week he would be sent back to the United States, where he faces an outstanding warrant and pending criminal charges.
