The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Jay Pharoah is a stand-up comedian, actor and impressionist who joined Saturday Night Live in 2010 and spent six seasons in its cast. His celebrity impressions, including Barack Obama and Denzel Washington, made voice and physical imitation a central part of his sketch work.
After SNL, Pharoah starred in White Famous, playing a comedian negotiating his way through Hollywood. His screen career also includes voice acting in animated films such as Sing and The Mitchells vs. the Machines. He continues to connect character performance with the impression skills developed in his stand-up and television work.
