Saturday Night Live's Brand New Negro

I found this at BET.com's "Stay Tuned..." blog (which they got from the Washington Post):

NBC announced new Saturday Night Live cast members and one of them is Jay Pharoah, the first Black person added since 2003.  Pharoah is a 22-year-old comic from Chesapeake, Virginia who became an Internet sensation thanks to spoof videos that featured him doing dead-on impersonations of Denzel Washington, Charlie Murphy, and Eddie Murphy, among others.  Since Fred Armisen, who currently impersonates President Barack Obama, is leaving, is Pharoah SNL’s new Obama?
