Jay Pharoah disclosed that he had shed 20 pounds since the beginning of the year 2023.
The alumnus of “Saturday Night Live” tweeted on Saturday that his “holiday weight is now GYONNNNEEE.”
The 35-year-old comic stated, “I’ve lost roughly 20 pounds over the past three weeks, on purpose…. I should instruct a course.”
When Pharoah’s followers inquired about his “next-level” weight loss, he attributed it to a “controlled diet” and “6-8 miles of running on level 12 [on a treadmill] six times per week.”

The actor continued, “The weight dropped off like roasted meat.”
Pharoah, a cast member on “SNL” from 2010 to 2016, shed 25 pounds in 2020 with the aid of juice and a home gym.
The comic utilized a treadmill and adhered to a “controlled diet.”
“It’s no secret that quarantine allowed everyone to loosen up,” he told Men’s Health at the time. “I consumed a lot of fried food during the [COVID-19] pandemic and consequently acquired weight.
“Now, thanks to my own gym setup and juicing, I’ve lost 25 pounds,” the impressionist continued, adding that he relished cheat days every two weeks.

“I’ll indulge in a burger and fries, but I’ll make sure to get back on track afterward,” Pharoah added. “This is timesharing. Enjoy it while we’re here, but we won’t be staying.”
The “Bad Hair” actor noted that he frequently listens to “warrior music” when working out at home.
“You will not constantly hear Drake playing,” he joked. “I love Drake’s music, but I’m trying to be a warrior when I come in here.”
