Saturday Night Live owes Ted Alexandro recognition for Zillow Skit

The Issue

On February 6th, 2021 , an innocent man was robbed in front of millions of viewers across the nation. You may be asking yourself how this could be possible. Unfortunately this theft was not random but planned. Intellectual property theft is a growing problem across the globe.

From musicians, to painters, and writers, the numbers of intellectual property theft only increase each year making it harder and harder for artists to thrive. Comedian and National Treasure, Ted Alexandro, shared his unique content one fateful night in the infamous, Comedy Cellar. The audience erupted with laughter as Mr. Alexandro shared his sexualized tale of Zillow exchanges with his significant other.

Here is a link to the original joke as told by Mr. Alexandro

We are asking for SNL to recognize that this is not a coincidence and fairly compensate/acknowledge Mr. Alexandro's Intellectual Property.
