This is spot on
Stephen A. Smith is one of the most talented, outspoken and animated figures and personalities in sports journalism, and his signature TV spot, alongside equally animated and outspoken sports journalist Skip Bayless on ESPN’s First Take, has made him one of the field’s most revered and recognizable figures.
So, it’s only right that he gets the proper spoof on Saturday Night Live, and Jay Pharoah did his best Stephen A. impersonation, which is sure to make you laugh if you’ve even vaguely seen Stephen A. Smith do his job on television.
