In between sketches about Trump and politics on Saturday Night Live, Jay Pharoah gave us three minutes of perfect impressions of nine black comedians.

It was beautiful.

The peg for the sketch? Katt Williams and Kevin Hart's feud. Pharoah went onto Weekend Update to talk about how the two comedians saw each other again at the "Black Comedians Meeting," a secret annual gathering at Eddie Murphy's bowling alley.

Pharoah recalled the scene at the party by doing impressions of those in attendance:

Katt Williams
Kevin Hart
Dave Chapelle
Chris Rock
Eddie Murphy
Tracy Morgan
Chris Tucker
Hannibal Buress
Bernie Mac

After he mentioned Mac, who died in 2008, Pharoah admitted he made the whole story up.
