By his own account, Grammy winning musician and The Roots bandleader Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson has been involved with Saturday Night Live in every possible role — except for the one that he wants most.
"I've been a punchline on 'Weekend Update.' I've been part of a Timothée Chalamet sketch. I've been mentioned in monologues," he says. "I'm a part of that ecosystem almost in every way but the one way I want to be, which is musical guest. ... The Roots are working on their 17th album right now, so I'm still hanging on to my dream."
