Overview
- Jack Harlow said Monday on Instagram that his aunt texted she was proud he went on SNL to “address everything” and that she “actually thought that was me.”
- Ben Marshall’s impression aired on SNL’s Weekend Update over the weekend, echoing Harlow’s recent look and zeroing in on his neo‑soul album Monica and his “I got Blacker” comment.
- The bit cycled through online nicknames such as “LL Cool Whip” and “D’Anglo,” joked about a failed freestyle, and played up an awkward dap with co‑anchor Michael Che.
- Multiple outlets called the impersonation pitch‑perfect, and clips of the segment drew large online audiences in the hours after it posted, according to coverage.
- The sketch has kept focus on Harlow’s rollout language and image rather than the music, even as he promotes Monica and a tour scheduled to start August 4 in New York.
