Could ‘Saturday Night Live’ have found a fourth new hire? If the most recent buzz in comedy circles is to be believed, one of the reported new cast members could already be getting a promotion — to President.

According to blogger Sean McCarthy of “The Comics’ Comic,” comedian Jay Pharoah “is just about a done deal” to join the cast of the 36th season of ‘SNL’ later this month. Taran Killam, Paul Brittain and Vanessa Bayer are all rumored to be joining the cast as well. The most interesting part of this news is that Pharoah will bring a host of characters and impressions to the show, including a new and fresh take on President Barack Obama,

McCarthy doesn’t have a solid confirmation that ‘SNL’ will impeach Fred Armisen from the Obama role and replace him with Pharoah, but noted that it’s the most likely scenario. TV Squad has found a video of Pharoah’s Obama impersonation, posted after the jump.
