Jay Pharoah Gets Emotional When Seeing Surprise Video Message From His Sister After Opening Up About Being Bulled On ‘Tamron Hall’

The Chesapeake, Virginia native specifically reflected on a summer he spent in New York as a child and jokingly said he can blame the Big Apple for making him put on some extra pounds.
“I love New York and my aunts are up here, but they eat, you know? When I was five, my parents sent me up here for a summer with my sister, and I remember when I took a shower before I left, the water would go straight down my back, like straight down,” he said. “When I got back from New York, it was shooting off getting everything wet. And I’m looking around like, wait a second. I was like ‘Yo, what is this?’ . . . I had what I like to call ‘robustness’ down there, or in the contemporary terms we can say I had a ‘Meg Thee Stallion ass.’”
