That’s now too old an SNL reference
Hello
I’m editing an astronomy club’s newsletter and a contributor, writing a science article, is going for some humor and has the following sentences in the middle of his piece…
“As we all know, you can never have enough lasers.”
“You can also never have enough cowbell, but that’s now too old an SNL reference.”
…my problem is with “…but that’s now too old an SNL reference.” The sentence is accompanied by an image from the famous sketch with Christopher Walken, so there is plenty of context. What does the sentence need, or is it ok as is?
Thank you

Doesn't that noun phrase follow the pattern of such a X/quite a X/many a X where "X" stands for a noun?
