Saturday Night Live’s Jay Pharoah is a master impressionist, and his Stephen A. Smith is right on par with his Will Smith, Denzel Washington and Jay-Z.

SNL mocked Smith’s boisterous claims that he has has more insight because he knows athletes personally. According to Pharoah’s Smith, he has shared a plate of spaghetti Lady & the Tramp-style with Steve Nash and taken a his-and-his Vespa ride down the streets of Barcelona with Pau Gasol.
