During this morning’s press gaggle aboard Air Force One, White House reporters asked White House Deputy Press Secretary Earnest if he had seen the new Saturday Night Live skit with Jay Pharoah playing the president.

Q. Did the President see the new SNL impression of him?  And does he have any reaction to it? 

MR. EARNEST:  I don't believe that he watched that Saturday Night Live this weekend.  He spent a lot of time watching football, actually.
