The ben carson actor tried hard not to laugh at one point.
Jay Pharoah might be the worst SNL cast member ever. He can only do 3 impressions, Cosby, Eddie Murphy, and kind of Obama.
Aside from his impressions, he's terrible. I once saw him do stand up at the UCB theatre and he bombed with his jokes about how cold it was "come back summer!" was the punchline. Then he tried to salvage it by doing impressions of characters from Family Guy, no jokes, just straight up impressions saying lines from the show, in front of his audience of NYU hipsters who hate Family Guy. It was painful.
