The latest season of Saturday Night Live begins shortly, and several new cast members will join the team. Highlighting the new class of cast members is Jay Pharoah, a 22 year old who supposedly nails impressions of Eddie Murphy, Jay-z, Will Smith and Barack Obama. New faces joining Pharoah in the SNL class of 2010, which is the 36th season of the late night sketch comedy show, will also be Vanessa Bayer, Paul Brittain and Taran Killam.

Many believe Pharoah is the front runner to impersonate Barack Obama on the show now that Fred Armisen will no longer be doing the impersonations of the President. With Presidential elections already only about 2 years away, SNL needs someone who can nail the act, and many in the industry think Pharoah is the guy.
