Lighten UP!!! (blog update)

Let's try lightening this blog up. This blog is now lighter in colors, the sections are separated, we got some shadows, and the sections are wider so that we can post wider videos and images.

Is this a good change?

Thanks!

Denzel Washington did an impression of himself, based on Jay Pharoah's impression

Okay, so Denzel Washington did an impression of himself, based on the impression that Jay Pharoah did of Denzel.



Read about it over at our new Jay Pharoah blog. We believe this guy is going to be huge! Check him out:

http://jaypharoah.blogspot.com/

Jay is definitely the next Will Ferrell or Eddie Murphy. He is blowing the audience away with his impressions (Kanye, Nick Cannon was also genius, Denzel Washington was done twice in different ways, Eddie Murphy, Will Smith on Weekend Update in his first episode, and most recently impressions of three rappers in his Thanksgiving Song). Jay needs to continue to strike every other episode like he is, but he also needs to try out a character or two in between his impresions (Will Ferrell had his George Bush and Alex Trebek, but it was his characters that made him famous). Jay also did Chris Tucker on SNL once, but I missed that, and he's obviously poised to take over Obama from Fred, since he does a great Obama impression (next season is my guess).

Enjoy!
