Chris Redd brought a sharp, high-energy presence to the SNL cast for five seasons. He was a versatile performer, known for his spot-on impressions of figures like Kanye West and Mayor Eric Adams. He won an Emmy for co-writing the song ‘Come Back, Barack,’ a testament to his sharp satirical skills. Redd’s comedy often had a smart, socially aware edge, and he was a notable performer in both live and pre-taped sketches. Since leaving the show, he has continued his stand-up career, co-created and starred in the Peacock series Bust Down, and has appeared in films, continuing to showcase the talent that made him a standout on SNL.
