Weekend Update: Jay Pharoah on Katt Williams and Kevin Hart's Feud - SNL 

same

+il100374 Yeah, but it pisses me off that he's been on the show for about 3 years now and he's basically re-auditioning here. His original audition tape was good enough and yet here they are saying "Hey, can you do more impressions to show off what you can do?" HE ALREADY DID! GIVE HIM MORE TO DO THAN BE BLACK GUY #2!! Keenan's a reactor, but Jay's an active player!

I thought the same thing!

true that, amazing impressions

+il100374 Dude first i see you on like every rap battle i go to and now i see you here. Awesome.

Same thing happened to Tracy Morgan, Damon Wayans, and Finesse.

Besides a few good impressions he’s not funny at all

@@chrismoseley349 Tracy and Damon yes but Finesses was never funny.

TRULY

@@chrismoseley349 tracy morgan has been doing the same bit for 30 years. He's not versatile at all... finesse is painfully unfunny

head ass

+Amir Price Lmao

agreed

He is a true student of the game.

marquell jackson Very true!

yes!

Christopher Walken won an Emmy for playing Bruce Dickenson on SNL

I agree 💯 percent with you Stephanie P.!!!!! This was so funny 😂 LOL now!!!!! When he did Bernie Mac, I almost fell off my seat!!!! Take care of yourself and your family during this coronovirus pandemic 😷 ok. Much love from Bunn NC.👋💖😀.

@@arethawhite3712 And Love and Respect to you and your family from Las Vegas 💜

yeah

Same with the Mac man

+Danny Blau I gotta go with Kevin. Man that had me rolling.

+Liberty Prime The only problem with his Bernie is that it was too clear. You could understand what he was saying a little too much haha

+Danny Blau j7

Gia Williams thats what im saying! lol

Did you honestly expect a white audience to understand black culture?

Platinum Swords Touche, man. He was incredible and the audience wasn't really feelin it like that until he did a "mainstream" comedian. That's EXACTLY what it is. If he had been doing Seinfeld,George Carlin and Robin Williams (RIP

the point was to make them laugh and they were laughing, what’d you expect???

Katt Williams and Kevin were great, too. The only one I think that wasn't great was Tracy Morgan. It just felt like he was forcing the cadence of his voice.

Trevor K Yes. Hi. Yes.

Trevor K I grew up on Madagascar

It was SCARY it was SO SPOT ON! They all were though. That Kevin Hart?! Jesus he’s so GOOOOOD

didn’t*

We can only hope this kid has the same, sad, pathetic, Oscar winning career as Robin Williams.

+Troy Deering wat

+Troy Deering F- Trolling, see me after class.

SmarterEveryDay yer the new chick is good at impressions too but I hate her fucking voice

Jay is the king of all black comedy, apparently! It's all so good.

The screech in his voice and everything

totally.

old school music hell yea lololol

Chappelle was insane.

hold on son

forreal, I appreciated all of these but just because no one ever does a Chappelle impression and his was so on-point... goddamn!

He did fine with chapelle

Jamie foxx did a really good one

He sounds more like old Chappell

+ChiTownWarrior1 practice, dude

+ChiTownWarrior1 First of all BOW!!!!

yesss lmfao

oh snap, true

omgg he does!! should put him in the mix

OMG. I've watched this so many times and I just realized it. I kept saying to myself that voice sounded familiar and I'd wondered if it was a deliberate voice that I just didn't recognize. I'm willing to bet he actually did it on purpose and may have been his own private joke since when people talk about talented black comedians Brady usually gets left off the list, even though Brady is so talented. He used Brady's voice to say "ALL of us were there". Freaking brilliant!

allfiner lol great observation!

So they fired him

I swear 😂😂

demetriarules Shit lost!!! Perfectly noted D! 💋

bruh right! I'm watching some of these skits and I'm like it must not be enough black people inn the audience because this shit is hilarious

Why? The impressions are on point. Black, white or other he sounds like them..

demetriarules yesssss

What the...guck?

CN what I'm Saiyan? way to go

maybe he didnt want to do it anymore he did some tv shows, couple rolls in movies, stand up shows since

He said in an interview that he quit that $5000 per week was Burger King money

Actually it was a huge mistake for him to leave the show. He did 1 season of his own show and not much else since.

+Steve27775 Yeah, the Chris Rock impression was ridiculously good.

+Steve27775 His Eddie Murphy was pretty good to, same with Chris Tucker. And Ben Carson... Oh wait, he was sleeping through this segment.

+Steve27775 he had the finger placement of the hand gestures down. incredible

That would be amazing

+Tim Young Being a good impressionist doesn't make you a good writer/producer.

+Tim Young white man stfu... oright!?

+outkast978 Yup, just ask Joe Piscopo. And toss him a few quarters while you're at it.

Also Eddie murphy xd

+TheMatoroMovement I was thinking about how much Jay looks like Eddie Murphy at times. If they do a movie about him...

+bluetextbooks I had another tab open, and though "Oh man, they brought Chris Rock on." Then the audience didn't cheer, and I realized it must have been an impression.

+Mediazzzzzz It was really good, but on point is a bit of a stretch.

+hadesflames on point was an understatement. this was great. go back to bed.

+Mediazzzzzz i think he is the only good one from current cast.

Same

Bruh, I've lost count how many times I've watched this

+ACEY BUX it's addicting

+Marcus it's a lifestyle

Marcus ikr

William Seroyer Soooo goof

Good

BOOM

Allahu Akbar!

+midnight_toker No. Jesus be praised

+peter boye He didn't even say it was Chris Rock like he did for the other voices because he knew it was on point

+xk_jenka He didn't really have to say most of them, that's how good they were.

straight up fire.

+NemRaps OR --like me-- they were in AWE of the beauty of these impersonations and instead of yelling over it they let him WORK it and clap afterwards.

+NemRaps dude you've been all over reddit-linked youtube videos lately.

I wish I could see a copy of this without the scripted laughs because the laughing noises drowned out his Chris Rock impression.

@@spazzyshortgirl23 Nope. Everything is about race. Everything.

The audience knew and laughed at every impression. The fuck were you watching?

Kay must have know Shannon wouldn’t challenge him on anything because Kat just sprayed allegations everywhere

Yes,honestly. Truly!

Lol for real!

Yes totally!

"Over a bowling match! In a living room!" Lost it completely aha

One of the bests

True

perfect

+LAholler Katt Williams a newer comedian??? He's been real famous since 2006 thats ten years ago, even before that he was already known.

+LAholler Excuse me but Katt Williams is not new

Yeah but his voices were much closer to the real ones for murphy and rock than they were for hart and katt

My favorite Jay impression is Stephen A Smith

Because...that's all I got for that question. Because. I never knew SNL would be so callous as to fire probably the best Black male actor this side of Tim Meadows, Chris Rock, and Eddie Murphy but they're you go...now I can barely muscle the energy to watch since they continue to underutilize Bobby Moynihan (who made a name for himself on the episode you mentioned which was also his first night), Mikey Day of Wild n Out fame (who was also a long time writer making his acting debut) most females and other males with the small exception of Cecily and Beck for Lorne's pet, Kate McKinnon who's given practically all the best lines/scenes/characters and most RU-vid uploads will be the sketches featuring her with everyone else being minor expendables. I also feel that Kenan should be gone a LONG time ago...another one his pets...

allfiner they fired him because he got cast in a showtime pilot that would've conflicted with his SNL schedule. same for Taran

What's the name of the Showtime series he's in? Pity he didn't join the cast of Issa Rae's Insecure on HBO. I think he'd have been an excellent fit there

allfiner It's called white famous. Jaime Foxx is producing it it's about "A rising black comedian trying to maintain his credibility as he becomes 'white famous'"

Murad Diab how did that go? Made yet? I wanna c it!

Idiot

Are your ears ok?

+JO. O Oh. You do know they created hearing aids, right?

JD KAIZEN My ears are fine. My point is his Kevin Hart and Katt Williams impressions are perfect meaning if you close your eyes you couldn't tell the difference between the impression and the actual person. The other impressions are great, but not as great and you can tell they aren't the people they're supposed to be. Are *YOUR* ears fine? Do a comparison side by side, look up Kevin Hart, Katt Williams, Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan (his weakest impression IMO) and Bernie Mac etc. vids and compare the voices. The best ones are Katt and Kevin, the voices sound identical.

+JO. O eddie murphy/tracy morgan/bernie mac have had differnent voices for different acts over the years...his eddie murphy impression is from when he played the donkey in shrek (spot on), tracy morgan from 30rock (spot on), bernie mac is from his show the bernie mac show (spot on).

His entire repertoire is spot on.

I just had that same thought

Because you had to be talented to be invited

because michael che isnt comedian ..

Aline Uribe He is! I've watched his stand-up special on Netflix and It's hilarious!

Also mike Epps and Steve Harvey

+Mumu Love Bull shit. It's so many rich parts it's crazy.

@Jack Montell you're right. 2016 me was on some shit

He probably didn't do Steve Harvey because that's Kenan Thompson's thing.

+Michael Blackshire I did but Keenan does Steve but I would
