if you know ANYTHING about Jay then you know hes been practicing this shit every day for well over a decade; he didnt just up and be this good; he practiced that shit for years ; there's videos of him when he was young where he practices them and perfects them over time
True story. I lived in DC and went to NYC often, got tkts to see Jay @ Caroline’s and while on the bus to the city I sent him a message on Messenger saying I was heading to the show, wasn’t expecting him to reply but he did and invited me to come backstage after the show and say hi. What a gem and what a night!!!!
Yeah, shame on them. They really have been messing up for what seems like the past 10 or so years but you still can't deny the amount of talent coming from the show.
@@Morgue12free same, he already had the 75+ Impressions videos and the Will Smith/Denzel skits...already thought he was the greatest impersonator before SNL..I was excited when he got signed and got disappointed how they barely utilized his Impressions
@@NEMtvOfficialyeah they made some really strange decisions. They used Kenan Thompson for Charles Barkley impressions, when his impression is nowhere near as good as Jays. Kenan might look more like Barkley but still
What's great about Jimmy Fallon is it's so sincere and off the cuff. None of this was planned or practiced at all. Not one bit. Not at all. Nope, indeed all of this is just as impromptu and carefree as it is presented. All of this is completely spur of the moment. The bits, the cards prompting the bits, all of it 100% made up on the spot. There are no rehearsals, no discussions, no-sir, it is, just as Jimmy presents it: 100% authentic, improvised, and without any practice or staging whatsoever. God bless Jimmy and his dedication to transparent authentic live comedy.
I sense your sarcasm but he is a genuine person, so what if they practice some things beforehand because they want some semblance of professionalism. And everyone knows it's not a live show.
@@sarahberkner I'm not saying he's a bad guy. I'm saying that it feels slimy to watch something incredibly rehearsed try to be passed off as "spur of the moment". If not unethical, it's at the very least tacky to try to sincerely pretend heavily scripted things are improvised.
Love jay,Jay, is so talented,funny! Amazing how many impressions he can do! Would love to seehim in a comedy like the rock in tooth fairy,or Eddie Murphy in nutty professor!
10 sec's per would have been perfect. I've been watching his impressions since 2009. Check out the 2 clips uploaded by Champagne Era. Those are legendary.
He was playing in my city the weekend AFTER the Oscars, and given both his Chris Rock and Will Smith impressions are on f'ing point, we made a beeline to make sure to buy tickets. He did dissapoint.
@@dillona1001 Damn, that sucks! He DIDN'T disappoint. I guess mobile screwed me up there. The show was a blast. Anyone who has a chance to see him should.
The episode that jay was on of "that's my jam" was so epic and hilarious. So many great lines from him including "i have like 2000 personalities, some of them have to be women " . Lmao
I still remember in the height of the Pandemic Jay was living in La and went out for a Jog and cops surrounded him demanding he put his hands up. Apparently they thought he was someone else? Such bullshit, but I never forgot thinking this talented man went for a jog and nearly got shot from the police just for jogging.
The Rock and Kevin Hart ones were spot on. Best ones I've heard so far.
That Eddie Murphy, at the end, was a metamorphosis 😲
Chris rock
His Shaq impression is the best
As another said here, you have to see his Chris Rock!
Insane how Jay is that good at impressions of personalities. Literally embodies the characters.
I had the *EXACT* *SAME* *SENTIMENT*
it’s pretty trippy listening with your eyes closed too
Whats really gonna blow-ur-mind is that those are voiceovers, #dubsmash!😉...

Azerrz does a better Obama, plus he also does Trump, & Kendrick Lamar in this video

I didn't even know a Pete Davidson impression was a thing until he did it.
Rami Malek played him in an SNL sketch last fall. I think Alex Moffat impersonated him on the tonight show
He also does a phenomenal John Mulaney
Damn! Pete took Kanye's woman
Srsly he's easy to do an impression of
What does that even mean

We saw him the weekend after the Oscars, so it was choice. He is so incredibly nice.
Nice
Fake story but I believe it.
@@ronburgandy3339 I have a video to prove it.
Cap
The Kevin Hart impression legit had me laughing out loud. 🤣🤣🤣
Yessssss!!!! Perfection!
Same. Insanely good.
He was ready to kill that Eddie impression 😂
Ps: that the Rock impression was clean!
"clean" lol, I ain't heard that since the sixties
What makes his impressions really special is how he perfected the body language of his characters.😅
Jay Pharaoh never disappoints with his impressions
One of the most humble people I’ve ever seen real cool to know this guy
SNL has given us GEMS as actors/comedians since the '70s, I truly believe Jay is one of them. So much talent.
Yeah, shame on them. They really have been messing up for what seems like the past 10 or so years but you still can't deny the amount of talent coming from the show.
I knew him before SNL. Right here on UA-cam.
@@Morgue12free same, he already had the 75+ Impressions videos and the Will Smith/Denzel skits...already thought he was the greatest impersonator before SNL..I was excited when he got signed and got disappointed how they barely utilized his Impressions
Spiritual successor to Eddie Murphy.

Great actor/comedian. Don t think he gets enough credit for what he does. Thanks for having him on the show.
Jay is one of the greatest impressionists of all time.

The comment I was looking for! Jimmy doesn't get enough appreciation for his efforts.

Wow! Jay's very good at impressions! Never heard him before!
Check out his impressions when on the Steve Harvey Show :) His Chris Rock is LEGENDARY.
He is one of the best that I have seen, Blessings Jay
it's a crime asking him to do impressions with just 60 seconds. It just ain't enough. We want more
Brother Jay Pharroh is so funny and I love his impressions of Stephen A Smith, Chris Rock, Denzel Washington and Will Smith.
I WISH HIM THE BEST BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD...AND I'VE HEARD THEM ALL...I'M 79 YEARS OLD! 200 IMPRESSIONS...
....AWESOME!
His face, the way it changes into each impression!!!!!
Thank Jay Pharoah for teaching me a new word, spurious. Amazing impressions but seems like an amazing person.
It's always great to watch him do impressions.

Danzel is just ❤
Love jay,Jay, is so talented,funny! Amazing how many impressions he can do! Would love to seehim in a comedy like the rock in tooth fairy,or Eddie Murphy in nutty professor!
This dude is sick wit it!!!!!
Great impressions. I made it halfway through the interview. I knew at some point the over the top fake laughter from Fallon would be too much for me.
I was looking for this comment. Glad I wasn’t the only one.
Oh well arent you just special little snowflakes that get offended easily (said in church lady voice)
Dude is a comic genius and his impressions are so spot on it's scary
holy sh*t this is the cleanest impressions i've ever heard, on the spot. so perfect dude.
I graduated from the same school he went to Indian River High in Chesapeake Virginia 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💙🖤always a brave
Jay is hilarious af ! Miss him on SNL!
I had no idea Jay could do this great of a Rock impersonation. Awesome!
When you can close your eyes and hear the other person instantly thats as good as it gets, then there are spot on mannerisms. WOW!
Y’all been having this man do these impressions for the last ten years… give him a real opportunity
The way he changes his voice for Kevin Hart is just amazing
This man is insanely talented
Already knew Jay was great and love his impressions, but that was the best Rock impression I've heard! Spot on!
Incredible! Wow. Just wow.
Even from beyond the grave it's like Charlie's possessing his soul
He mentioned the VB Funny Bone! Cool!
I love him so much.
Jay pharoah is the best at impressions!!!!
I’ve been watching this guys since his first UA-cam video release 🔥🙏🏽
He is one talented brother!!
He’s awesome
I'd like to see him do a Martin Lawrence impression lol
10 sec's per would have been perfect. I've been watching his impressions since 2009. Check out the 2 clips uploaded by Champagne Era. Those are legendary.
I luv when he does jayz and Denzel but he’s spot on with everybody 😂🤣
He’s one of my favorite SNL cast member.
He was playing in my city the weekend AFTER the Oscars, and given both his Chris Rock and Will Smith impressions are on f'ing point, we made a beeline to make sure to buy tickets. He did dissapoint.
did or didn't...?
@@dillona1001 Damn, that sucks! He DIDN'T disappoint. I guess mobile screwed me up there. The show was a blast. Anyone who has a chance to see him should.
Come to Australia Jay! I would love to see him perform.
Oh man I looked away right when Kevin hart came up and I legit thought he showed up 😂
When he did Kevin Hart, I lost it the most, that was so funny 🤣🤣🤣
Magician Magician Magician. He's a Magician. So many and on point impressions
His energy is a lil different from other times… I like it 🤙🏾
Jay is amazing the dude can do so much I'm happy for him
- how many celebrities you wanna meet in a tv show?
- jay pharoah
Kevin Hart n The Rock were great! 🤣💕👍
Love his use of “spurious”
This man is amazing! So talented😄
This is amazing
Jay 🔥🔥
The episode that jay was on of "that's my jam" was so epic and hilarious. So many great lines from him including "i have like 2000 personalities, some of them have to be women " . Lmao
He's Too Good To Be True, He's Amazing
He is so good..😍🥰
He would be great doing phone pranks 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watched it last night when I was hammered. Had to come back and watch it again. Thought I was seeing things.
The Rock BLEW MY MIND I was nt ready hahaha
I still remember in the height of the Pandemic Jay was living in La and went out for a Jog and cops surrounded him demanding he put his hands up. Apparently they thought he was someone else? Such bullshit, but I never forgot thinking this talented man went for a jog and nearly got shot from the police just for jogging.
He is AMAZING! His Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy are spookily spot on
Charlie Murphy impression was insane bro
This was a very pleasant convo lol
I love the chemistry between these two during the interview. Very comfortable, sweet, and funny.
Jay is amazing! ❤️
Best impression ever!
I’ve never heard Charlie Murphy speak but I just know Jay nailed it. You can tell by Jimmy’s reaction.
If you close ur eyes on the Kevin hart one it sounds exactly like him Lmaooo
The King!!
this dood is awesome, wish i could do 1/10 his impressions xD
I honestly think him, Aries Spears and Godfrey are the best at impressions
Yes Jay represent VB 💚
Hes definitely good at what he does 👌💪💯❤️🙏
The moment we all realize we didn’t know his real voice the whole time will be really cool 🤣
That kevin hart one was too damn on point
#1 this talent is undeniable
Starts at 2:27
Thank you 🫡
Oh my god his Kevin Hart impression was uncanny! If I wasn’t watching I would’ve thought it was him in the flesh!!
Greatest 21st century comic of all time!
Jay about to pull a Kanye of comedians. I’m the greatest!
Incredible!!!!
Wow he did it so well.
Oh my God! This is 7 am here and I'm laughing so hard. We need more than 60 seconds!!
Nailed The Rock 😊👏🏻👏🏻
