Comedian Ted Alexandro Accuses ‘SNL’ of Jacking his Zillow Joke

‘SNL’ has a new sketch about how sexy Zillow presentations really are – but now … they are accused of ripping off a comedian’s joke.

Ted Alexandro On Sunday, he led the writers of “Saturday Night Live” all day Sunday, claiming that their now viral sketch – which was furious on Saturday – is actually his own material … which he performed live in the Comedy Cellar in none other than the city of New York.

He writes: “Dear @SNL, since you stole my Zillow joke last night, please Venmo me the amount of $ 1 million. My full special Cut / Up is on youtube if you need more ideas.” Ted adds an amalgamation of his original joke and the ‘SNL’ parody, which has familiar themes and beats.

The crux of the matter is that the older you get, the more aspects of maturity you address – perhaps even in a sexual sense. ‘SNL’ played the whole “yeah sex is great” corner … turning Zillow’s page into a soft soft fantasy porn ad.

Ted’s original performance of the Zillow phenomenon is not entirely different – but he does make it more about how he and his wife “sex” each other … send each other Zillow offers that are outside their price range to make each other hot and bothered. They’re both funny … but Ted insists he did it first, and it seems like he wants money and / or credit.

It’s unclear when Ted first staged 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” … posted on YouTube in September. However, it seems to have popped up well before that.
