Did 'SNL' rip off Ted Alexandro for their Zillow sketch?

He writes,"Dear @SNL, 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." Ted added a mash-up of his original joke and the 'SNL' parody, which have familiar themes and beats.

The gist of the gag is that the older you get, the more certain aspects of adulthood start to appeal to you -- maybe even in a sexual sense. 'SNL' played up the whole"yeah sex is great" angle ... and turned Zillow browsing into a softcore fantasy porn ad of sorts. Ted's original performance of the Zillow phenomenon ain't all that different -- but he makes it more about how he and his wife"sext" each other ... sending each other Zillow listings that are out of their price range to make one another hot and bothered. They're both funny ... but Ted's insisting he did it first, and seems to want either money and/or credit.

It's unclear when Ted first performed his Zillow joke, but it appeared in a compilation video he released with a bunch of his stand-up shows called"Ted Alexandro: CUT/UP" ... which gotYou have until kickoff. Venmo:

I would of thought that a comedian would be more mellow about stuff like this. 🙄

Good, sue SNL for 100 million! 😂

SNL sucks and its writers have zero ethics.

We all made that zillow joke. : )

Ted Alexandro jacked that joke from me. Your a miserable fk Ted Alexandro.

I thought this was sexual for a second when it said jacking

my guess would be, yes, they stole from him.

tedalexandro is one of the best comics in the country!

Their writers sucks. Che is the only good writer, and audiences cringe at his update because he doesn't use emojis.

Wheeewww. Almost read that wrong. All I saw at First was 'Accuses' and 'Jacking'

😂

IDK, but it was hilarious !

I love how the picture they used makes tedalexandro look like he's the guy at the end of the bar convincing you to join his militia

Thanks TMZ. I’ve been telling that joke since 2019. It’s on my 2020 special Cut/Up.

When has SNL not ripped off a joke?

Ok

Or SNL is trying to break the forth wall by doing their best Carlos Mencia impression of stealing more talented comedians material and jokes. 🤣

With all the zillions of people on Earth two people can't think of the same joke?

Whatever

We’ve been making that joke amongst my friends for years. Don’t wait on the cash.

Makes sense, it was actually funny... very “off brand” for SNL

People in their 30s love looking at real estate is hardly a hot take. I've been hearing this joke for years.

And it was the only funny thing on the show last night.
