Comedian Claims 'SNL' Stole His Joke, Asks For $1 Million

A comedian is asking Saturday Night Live to pony up a million dollars, claiming a skit on their most recent episode stole one of his jokes.

Comic Ted Alexandro has been performing a bit about ‘sexting’ with his partner by sending real estate listings on Zillow – very similar to SNL’s ‘Zillow’ skit that compared the real estate app to a phone sex line for millennials.

Alexandro – who included the bit in his 2020 special CUT/UP, tweeted “Dear @nbcsnl, since you stole my Zillow joke last night please Venmo me the sum of 1 million dollars.” – and invited fans to check out his special on YouTube.
