Jay Pharoah is an actor and stand-up comedian. The six-season SNL alum is well known for his stellar impressions of President Barack Obama, Jay Z, Denzel Washington, Kanye West, and many others. Pharoah also made a splash with his memorable character, Principal Daniel Frye, based on Pharoah's actual high school principal.
Audiences got a taste of Jay’s dramatic side in Showtime’s WHITE FAMOUS and Steven Soderberg’s UNSANE, but he returns the funny in the upcoming 2 MINUTES OF FAME with Katt Williams. Previously, JAY dazzled with fun supporting roles in the Lionsgate/CBS Films comedy GET A JOB, opposite Miles Teller and Anna Kendrick, Chris Rock’s TOP FIVE, and Universal’s RIDE ALONG opposite Kevin Hart and Ice Cube.
