You knowJay Pharoah of his brilliant impressions of everyone fromBarack Obama andJay Z ToKanye West andDenzel Washington. The ability of the 29-year-old comedian to imitate anyone and everyone won YouTube Stardom and a six-year-old server as a featured player onSaturday Night Live. This race ended last summer - but pharoah is officially back withFamous white, an extremely awaited new satire showtime that takes this weekend.

The comedy of the unique camera stars pharoah likeFloyd Mooney, a character loosely based onFamous whiteproducer and co-starJamie Foxx. It's a hoarse surgery about striving, fighting and succeeding in the world of entertainment. We caught pharoah to discuss hanging with Mr. Foxx,Alec Baldwin likeDonald TrumpAnd when to bring an impression in the game of meetings.

Famous whiteTake markings of Jamie Foxx's life, but are there any elements of your own experience in the show?

Certainly, there are many parallels between Floyd Mooney and I personally. The fact that he does not want to sell in artist or artist. Floyd's character really does not care about Hollywood or be famous. He really wants to just make sure his family and people are supported. That's why he wants to be famous white.

I mean, I want glory. Fame is cool for me. It's cool sh * t. I think glory is cool. I will not be like the bossu of300saying, "I will do anything." But fame is cool. There are stories I gave [Creator]Tom Kapinos That I think will be in season two.

What exactly is the definition of "famous white?"

To be known by everyone. A crossing artist, basically. Someone who passes from the underground circuit to know millions of millions of people on billions of people. Jamie Foxx is famous white.Eddie Murphy is famous white. Jay Z.Will Smith.Colin Powell. People like the one who were known to some and are now known by everyone.

Did you fall in a famous white?

I think I'll get there. This has been a burn, a slow burning, but I'll get there, dog.

The show is a comedy, but there is also an educational component. How would you describe it?

It's a vocalization of things that occur behind closed doors in Hollywood. These things that my character experiences occur and that I feel as if they had to be spoken. I think the show does a great job to put these problems on Front Street Street.

What are your thoughts on the show response so far?

You know, most critics have been positive, so I dig. The writing to BuzzFeed said it was a performance of the star by yours, which was very kind. Shoutout in BuzzFeed. I feel like you like the shock, if you like the social comment, this show is for you. I think it's just a while. This show makes sense at that time in this world, we are right now, especially in America.

What is Jamie Foxx's best experience you've had?

He went to a random club with him and out of the blue, you seeLeonardo DiCaprio appear and both of them started talking. So there isOdell Beckham Jr. there andEVA Longoria the low. It's like "what kind of life is it?" Whenever I'm with Jamie Foxx, it's a fun experience.

What is your opening line in Leo?

[Laughs] "hey guy, did you see sitting in front of you at theFloyd Mayweather struggle? I was right in front of you. You saw me? It was me, my father, my cousin. We were all sitting with a lot of darkness, sitting right in front of you. I know you saw him, Leo. Do not try to act as you do not have becauseI know you saw it. You have seen them seats. It's Showtime, Bitch. You saw it."

Nah, I'm pleasing totally. I did not tell him that. I was too frightened. It was more like "," yo guy, I'm a big fan. Do you ever want to host SNL? "I was Starcruck, guy. Totally Starreck.

What is the key to doing a good impression?

Get lost in the character but be able to get out of a minute or a second. You must lose yourself to become someone else. You can not think: "I have to be Jay." You can not be Jay-Z if you're still Jay.

It's very philosophical. Zen of impressions.

[Laughs] Of course, man.

You obviously have President Obama on SNL at the last administration. What are your thoughts on Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump during this one?

He does a fantastic job. It's good sh * t. Trump has this thing where it looks like an eclipse that happens and that it tries to look at it but it can not. When Baldwin sticks the lip and the folds, it works really well for printing.

How many dates do you need to start getting out your impressions?

It depends. If it is weird and demand it, do it for the night. But otherwise, you have to wait. Maybe three or four. Do not do much. Just do one and wait. Go with your best material. Sprinkle them. Before you know, you have been together for five years and it will not all have seen all. You must continue to work. This is what keeps the fresh relationship. You have to remix it, like Sprite.
