... that Chris Redd won a Primetime Emmy Award in 2018 for co-writing a song about Barack Obama? Source: "Thompson is the longest-serving cast member in the history of 'Saturday Night Live.' He first joined the show in 2003 and was nominated for his first acting Emmy in the supporting actor in a comedy category in 2018.

Comment: DYKCheck says it hasn't been expanded enough, I think due to some unverified text that someone added in August 2019 that was later reverted. Before I started expansion, the article was at 613 B (permalink), and right now it's at 3413 B (5.6x expansion). A manual check would be appreciated!
Article was expanded on 23 February, long enough, referenced, neutral and plagiarism-free. The hook is sourced and interesting. QPQ done. Good to go. Corachow (talk) 22:53, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
