Fred Armisen Barack Obama Jay Pharoah

Armisen vs Pharoah

Fred Armisen. Armisen was the original Obama on SNL, portraying the president on SNL more than 30 times and for pretty much the entirety of his first term. Armisen did a fantastic job embodying the President and getting all of his mannerism down.

Jay Pharoah. Pharoah took over for Armisen a little before the second term elections starting on September 12th 2012. Pharaoh is still the chosen one when it comes to playing Obama every week.
