Jay Pharoah does quite the impression of ESPN NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith.
Pharoah first impersonated Smith on Saturday Night Live but he joined ESPN First Take Tuesday, drawing laughter from Skip Bayless and Smith himself when he joined them on set. He poked fun at Smith’s pronunciation of LeBron James and accurately depicted his mannerisms.
Denzel Washington and Charles Barkley were the next victims of Pharoah’s talents. Pharoah conversed with Smith in his best Barkley voice, and Smith couldn’t hold it together. Pharaoh went on to do a spot-on impression of Eddie Murphy as well.
Check out Pharoah’s original spot on Saturday Night Live, and take a look at the video below to see his ESPN appearance.
