Stephen A. Smith and his dramatic pauses are trending.

Stephen A. Smith is a man who is hard to take very seriously. He’s built his entire reputation by blurting out things, mostly just to  illicit a reaction.  Stephen A. also earned the nickname Screaming A. Smith by trying to speak as loudly as humanly possible to make his point. He’s also a HUGE fan of the dramatic pause.

Last night on John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight”  the HBO show completely roasted Stephen A. for his use of dramatic pauses.

Not exactly sure how Stephen. A Smith became the face and voice of sports media??

Crazy part is Stephen A. is not even trying to be funny, but you can hear the crowd yucking it up.

Stephen A. is a clown who gets paid to entertain, and I guess he’s sort of entertaining if you don’t take him too seriously.
