Comedian May Sue SNL for Allegedly Stealing His 'Draw Muhammad' Sketch

“You can’t do that. I mean people have ripped people off before, millions of times, but this is word for word and DHX Media — which owns own 22 Minutes — said they want to protect their intellectual property.”

“Never ever, in all my years of of making fun of people, have I seen anything that’s pretty much word for word,” he said.

Critch says his idea probably came up in a pitch meeting at SNL, perhaps by a writer who was on a cold streak and went online for some inspiration, where he or she found his 22 Minutes sketch. Still, Critch thinks this incident may speak to a bigger problem with the long-running comedy show.

“I think something’s on the go over there,” he said. “Somebody’s a bit desperate.”
