Yesterday, we shared with you comedian Jay Pharoah’s epic, pitch-perfect takedown of Stephen A. Smith during Saturday night’s Weekend Update segment on SNL. It was the kind of thing they need to do more of, in both “do good impressions of people who aren’t on CNN” and “let Jay Pharoah be on your show” interpretations of a thing.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! SportsCenter made the moment even better by filming Actual Stephen A. Smith’s reaction to the impression as he watched it, and it’s the perfect mixture of SAS brush-off and facepalming to let you know he’s a good sport, but he’s also going to sit somewhere by himself a little later and contemplate how life has brought him here.
The wonderful video is below.
The next time he launches into scream-speak, whoever’s on camera with him should just roll their eyes up and scream about how Mario Chalmers doesn’t deserve arms. Oh, and as YouTube user TheBMWright succinctly phrases it:
“I would never wear that suit!”
Wearing the same suit

SAS is really shitty at covering up him being pissed about something…and at his job. Pharoah is the shizz
“Having two black men regularly star on SNL? Preposterous!”
–Lorne Michaels–
That was a pretty good SNL skit.
Can they just let Pharoah do Weekend Update in a character of his choosing each week? Two birds, one stone. Fuck’s sake Seth Meyers is awful.
I was about to say that SNL should lampoon Skip Bayless but I don’t know how they’re going to get away with whoever’s playing him giving Tim Tebow a blowjob on network TV
Make Skip be portrayed by Abby Elliot and Tim Tebow be Nasim Pedram and you got yourself a can’t miss segment
Guys guys guys. Everyone on ESPN is TERRIBLE. If the word “ball” isn’t in the title of the professional sport they are covering, they don’t cover it. When they try, they fail. Those hacks on PTI are far worse than SAS, being beaten out only by Bayless.
They love themselves some soccerball.
I saw this post and hoped that my comment in the original post broke the story, but alas, it being on TV means anyone could have found it.
/needs internet cred.
I wish dueling was still a socially acceptable means of solving personal disputes, because I would like nothing better than for Smith and Bayless to shoot each other in the fucking throat.
