On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jay Pharoah.

As an actor, comedian, and impressionist, Pharoah is best known for his six-year run on Saturday Night Live, where he portrayed celebrities from Barack Obama to André 3000.

After leaving the show in 2016, he went on to expand his acting CV, including playing Shawn in the hit horror-comedy The Blackening, appearing on The Simpsons, and voicing Bulletproof in Invincible season 2.

During an in-depth conversation with Madden, Pharoah reveals his first job, the best advice from Charlie Murphy, and his new comedy special Jared.
