Comedian Ted Alexandro accuses ‘SNL’ of stealing his Zillow joke

‘SNL’ has a new sketch on how sexy Zillow’s lists are – but now … they’re being accused of stealing a comedian’s joke.

Ted Alexandro has been criticizing the writers of “Saturday Night Live” all Sunday, claiming that his now viral skit – which was in vogue on Saturday – is actually his own material … which he performed live at Comedy Cellar other than the city of New York.

He writes: “Dear @SNL, since you stole my Zillow joke last night, please, I come to the sum of $ 1 million. My full special Cut / Up is on youtube if you need more ideas. ” Ted added a mash-up of his original joke and the parody ‘SNL’, which has familiar themes and beats.

The essence of the joke is that the older you get, the more certain aspects of adulthood begin to attract you – perhaps even in a sexual sense. ‘SNL’ showed the whole “yes, sex is great” angle … and turned Zillow’s navigation into a sort of soft fantasy porn ad.

Ted’s original performance of the Zillow phenomenon is not that different – but he makes it more about how he and his wife “sex” each other … by sending each other Zillow listings that are out of their price range to make one the other Hot and uncomfortable. Both are funny … but Ted insists he did it first and seems to want money and / or credit.

It is not clear when Ted made his Zillow joke the first time, but it appeared in a compilation he released with a lot of his stand-up shows called “Ted Alexandro: CUT / UP” … which was posted on youtube In September. It looks like it may have come about long before that.
