Actor and comedian Jay Pharoah is one of the industrys most highly anticipated leading men. Last summer, he hosted Season 1 of the FOX game show The Quiz With Balls, which became the networks most watched summer debut in two years. The show pits brains against balls by combining a high stakes quiz show with a large scale physical competition. Each episode features two families competing for 100,000 dollars in a battle of the balls. The hit show has been renewed for a second season and will return later this year. Pharoah topped off his memorable 2024 summer with his sophomore comedy special, JARED, released exclusively on YouTube reaching over 1.5 million viewers. In the hour long special, Pharoah delivers a fully charged performance, ripping the lid off pop culture, his suburban upbringing, and run in with the law, all while sharing his unique perspective on self discovery and resilience in a world that never stops laughing.
