Comedian

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He stylized his last name, changing it from Farrow to Pharoah.
    He gained prominence due to his Barack Obama impression.
    He publicly criticized 'SNL' for its lack of racial diversity.
    If you're in the audience for one of his stand-up gigs, don't yell out an impression you want to hear; he'll put you in your place.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's a talented impressionist, with more than 50 celebrity impressions on his resume.
    He started performing his comedy routine at 15 years old.
    He was considered a 'breakout star' when he joined the 'SNL' cast.
    His key to a great Obama impression: the pauses and the 'uh's'. It takes him 'forever to get to the point.'
