... 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. He and Chris Redd, Will Stephen, and Eli Brueggemann won the Emmy that same year for original music and lyrics for their song 'Come Back Barack.'" from [1]
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!
5x expanded by DanCherek (talk). Self-nominated at 14:47, 24 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]
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]
