The SNL Version Of Stephen A. Smith Had Some Very Personal Advice For LeBron James

by Eric Goldschein | 10:49 am, May 20th, 2012

The “Weekend Update” segment on SNL (which has remained one of the few consistently humorous parts of the show over the last few years) took time to address the Heat being down 2-1 in their series with the Pacers last night. “Stephen A. Smith” revealed what the Heat must do to take back the series. He does know what he’s talking about — after all, he has very intimate relationships with the Heat roster.

Jay Pharoah’s impressions are usually spot-on, and here he’s got Smith’s mannerisms down pat — from the passionate shrieking to the looking generally bored and angry when he isn’t passionately shrieking. But he takes Stephen A.’s propensity for saying he “knows” these players “personally” to a whole new level. Laughs ensue. Check it out:

Was this segment part of the news last night? Cause I don’t remember seeing it while I was watching SNL live last night.

despite Stephen A’s hairline being jacked up. his cut is usually on point for what he’s working with in top. plus he is a much better dresser then this. other then that, he is pretty annoying.

I love Stephen A., but this was absolutely hilarious! He got his mannerisms and speech patterns COMPLETELY down pat, it was almost scary.

Hilarious — SNL can be hit-or-miss, but that was very well done.
