Jamie Foxx and Jay Pharoah Play the Impressions Game

Comedians Jamie Foxx and Jay Pharoah are known for their hilarious impressions, so Ellen put them to the test with a new game to raise money for hurricane relief, thanks to Cheerios.

[@KienDLuu]

What strikes me about Jamie Foxx is that he is extremely generous as a performer. He always lets those performing with him shine too.

[@mashokongonidzashe5923]

And that makes him shine even more....I'm learning.thank you for the comment

[@VonJay]

Guess you never saw the Emmit Smith roast.

[@KienDLuu]

@@VonJay actually, I have hahaha

[@VonJay]

@@KienDLuu guess he let that guy shine too

[@brandonbuckley]

Jamie is a class act

[@msmills3030]

Jay Pharoah is so underrated. Amazing impressionist.

[@dragunbwoi]

He’s not underrated lol

[@greatcesari]

Underrated? Really? I’d say most people know he’s one of, if not, the best impersonator. The guy could hack into government agencies lol.

[@Cpnweze]

Impression wise....he's thr 🐐. What he does with impressions is freaking he can mimick anything.

[@triciabrown4487]

You tell it!

[@TheChameleon2008]

He is murdering Jamie fox

[@godfredmensah3895]

Jamie held himself back...he was the bigger man. Had to let a brother shine.Respect that👏🏽👏🏽

[@loretta2372]

I love that about Jamie ❤

[@MrExcessum]

Jamie is as talented actor as they come, but you need to get real. Jay is one of the best imressionists on the planet.

[@savmoses2438]

He Definitely Did🙏🏿 I Peeped That

[@shedabarber]

@@MrExcessum right. I like Jamie but come on. He's not good at impersonations like Jay.

[@GalaxyNexus1]

He wasn't holding back. They both had fun with it, but this is what Jay Pharaoh does, Jamie approaches his work differently.

[@adoreivette7373]

I love how Jamie took a step back to let Jay get his shine. Because those of us know Jamie have swept the floor with his impersonations. That's how you do it

[@Victor_386]

Rubbish he's trash at impressions compared to pharaoh

[@gurpreet6871]

Yo they had both Kanyes there the loud and aggressive one and the quiet shaky voice one

[@thomashester2]

Brown God especially since Jamie Foxx knew Kanye since 04

[@adhishakosgahakumbura6068]

It was like old Kanye and new Kanye

A secure man will always give those around him a chance to shine.

[@knytrydr73]

Agreed, whoever picked the celebrities for these two have no idea who they can impersonate.

[@lalive2993]

Because he’s overrated as an impressionist

exactly, Jamie is exceptional in comedy overall and does some impressions. Jay specializes in impressions

[@jacklamata2544]

For those who says that Jamie is not holding back!? Check he’s impressions video? I don’t say that he’s better than Jay, but he’s definitely holding back… he could do definitely more! Respect to both.

ruffryder818 You obviously know nothing about performing or improv...a really great performer is always giving...it’s about letting your partner shine. It lifts the whole act if everyone has that attitude.

I feel like this was a little unfair towards Jamie. He's incredibly talented with impressions as well. The ones chosen just weren't his. But it didn't seem like he had any problem giving up the floor for the young blood. He's just a class act.
