Jay Pharoah does Stephen A in front of Stephen A on First Take

If Jay Pharoah’s take on Stephen A. Smith doesn’t become a regular character on Saturday Night Live, I will be sorely disappointed.

Pharoah stopped by First Take Tuesday and it was like having two Stephen As on the set. He was PHEEEE-NAM-NELLLL again.

ESPN posted two clips. The first includes Pharoah as Eddie Murphy defending Stephen A.

And here’s a second clip of outtakes that include Skip Bayless challenging Pharoah to do an imitation of him.
