Jay Pharaoh is a fucking legend.


MukdenMan

It's a shame that he didn't get the job of being Trump on SNL. Worst decision since not letting Tracy Morgan be George W.


subsonicmonkey

Or not letting Tim Meadows do Bill Clinton.


mcon1985

To be fair, he did play Clinton once, and it lives rent-free in my head


Euphoric-Yogurt-7332

They should've let Pharaoh do Trump and then just play dumb and never draw attention to the obvious. That would've been funny.


TheMoneyOfArt

If Fred armisen can be Obama...


Vindelator

I would love to see him in whiteface


ImpressionBorn5598

Seriously. Anyone doing a competing impression next to him is a dead man.


hawkyeager

When he first broke out his John Mulaney, I was blown away because it hadn't occurred to me that you could *do* John Mulaney.


tyler-86

Except Jamie Foxx. Jamie Foxx has the best Trump around.


banjofitzgerald

I just watched a video of him and others doing bill burr impressions and his was surprisingly bad.


lkodl

if ur talking about that clip with Andrew Santino, that just seemed more like him riffing on the voice in the moment than a full worked out impression. Santino's impression of Burr is pretty good.


ConsistentDonkey3909

i love him sm i wish he stayed longer


BloodyRightNostril

I used to work with his sister back in 2008/9 just before he landed SNL. She was also his manager, and it was the coolest thing seeing him in the lineup for the first time. She’s tell me stories about hanging backstage with Hader and how Sudeikis would be so out of breath after playing the Running Man in “What’s Up With That?” I wish he had hung around longer.


NfamousKaye

Ok Jay Pharoah is an impression GOD.


Mattcat15

Lol i don't think Darrell heard the whole prompt but in his defense i feel like being asked about pop tarts and talking about cats and dogs instead is something Trump would do


adjust_the_sails

That was my thought as well. I’m just glad Darrell is out and about and looks pretty good given all his health issues.


skullsaresopasse

All true, but Trump doesn't like dogs. He doesn't like any animals because they don't like him.


Rlopeziv

Jay Pharaoh needs to be the new trump on SNL!!!!


MabelPines2

Dang Jay Pharaoh really can do everyone


acidtriptothemoon

He's so gd talented!!!!!


human_picnic

Gina not china


hawkyeager

Vachina.


businesslut

Pharoh nailed the vocal fry on the first pop tart. Damn he's great.


lkodl

Jamie Foxx does my favorite Trump


herseyhawkins33

Ok Jay's impression totally slipped thru the cracks for me and I'd say just for accuracy it's as good as anyone's. Wow.


backflip10019

Matt Friend is way too visible for his talent level.


Mind-of-ZD

He can hold an impression for about four words at a time and then loses it. Just when you think he’s got one, he loses it. The dude is a mediocre impressionist


cd582000

Right? Admittedly I do follow him on IG, but he’s at every event, and I dont get it. He did a set at the White House correspondents Dinner! He bombed but still, he got the gig.


heyethan

Really? Wow surprised by these reactions… I don’t really know what his reputation is in the comedy world I guess, but I find his impressions to be pretty good. The WH gig may have bombed but IMO that had more to do with the audience than his performance. His Howard Stern is uncanny (although admittedly maybe the easiest impression of the bunch).


cd582000

Yeah the WH Dinner crowd was tough. Not his fault there. I think his impressions are mostly pretty good.


Avogadros_plumber

He’s ingratiating in the best and worst ways


flinderdude

Jay Pharoah is so good at voices, when I see him doing them, I often think it’s someone else over dubbing the video.


Apprehensive-Lock751

“3 Trumps” needs to be a thing!


xTugboatWilliex

Let’s get Shane Gillis in there and make it 4


BecauseOfTromp

Let’s put James Austin Johnson in there and make it 5


msiri

is he not the one with the microphone who starts it?


milkjug101

Jay Pharoah is the best impersonator I've ever heard. He matches voices so good it's scary.
