My family has always supported me a thousand percent. My sister once sold her jewelry so I could pay for gas money to get up to New York for a show. And that’s amazing. But you get too much of that, you start depending on it. Jay Pharoah Read Quote
I went from 250 to, like, 175 in three and a half, four months. And then I ended up graduating with honors. I went from a 2.4 to a 3.06 in a year. It’s funny how those two are related. I don’t want to say that if you lose weight, you’ll get smarter, but… well, it worked for me. Jay Pharoah Read Quote
Snoop Dogg is hilarious. T.I. is really funny. Who else? 50 Cent is hilarious. Jay-Z is funny. I’ve met him, but he’s funny in interviews. He was funny when I saw him, too. Ludacris is funny. Everybody is. Rappers are funny, a lot of them. Jay Pharoah Read Quote
I will definitely drop bars, but that’s, like, a few minutes of my show. I do a part of my set where I do that, and then I’ll get back to the jokes. All the older people will look like, ‘What the hell is happening?’ The younger people are cheering, and the older people are like, ‘I’m scared. I don’t know what’s going on.’ Jay Pharoah Read Quote
I was raised listening to, like, Jay and Big and Pac, Cassidy, Ludacris, even some of Drake’s stuff. Jay Pharoah Read Quote
My mom always tells me, ‘You need to take a week for yourself and just chill,’ but I don’t, man. If you want to be successful, I don’t think you should take a day off. Jay Pharoah Read Quote
Comedy did a lot of things for me. I mean, ‘SNL’? Not too bad. Not too shabby with this comedy thing. I have really worked on my comedy and really upped it some notches. Jay Pharoah Read Quote
I met Kanye. I’m starstruck, man, but I stayed away from that guy. I didn’t want him to go on a rant, go off on me. He did it at his wedding. Jay Pharoah Read Quote
