And the winner of the Presidential comedy campaign goes to...Jay Pharaoh!

Professional impersonator and all-round funny man Jay Pharaoh has just nabbed a regular slot imitating Barack Obama on America’s famous satirical TV-show, Saturday Night Live.

He’s filling the shoes of SNL’s previous Obama imitator, Fred Armisen, who passed the torch down to the young comedian this week. Pharaoh’s also famous for his impressions of Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy and Will Smith – but it’s his outrageous Obama impersonation that’s got tongues wagging.
