Ted Alexandro calls out “Saturday Night Live” for stealing his Zillow joke

This past weekend, Dan Levy hosted Saturday Night Live. The episode was pretty solid, with one filmed segment in particular standing out more than others. The sketch was a “sensual” parody ad for the home buying website Zillow.
After its airing, comedian Ted Alexandro noticed a striking resemblance between their Zillow parody and a joke that he made in his 2020 stand-up special Cut/Up. And he took to Twitter to make sure to call them out over it in a series of tweets.
Dear @nbcsnl, since you stole my Zillow joke last night please Venmo me the sum of 1 million dollars. My full special Cut/Up is on youtube if you need more ideas. pic.twitter.com/pcU3CHMiJR

We definitely see some similarities between the two. So we hope that the show winds up addressing it in some form. But as of right now, no statement has been made on their behalf.
