In a 2018 episode hosted by Jonah Hill, a sketch called “America’s Got Talent: Wait, They’re Good?” was said to be eerily similar to comedian Gus Johnson’s YouTube video called “Every Episode of America’s Got Talent.” However, Johnson himself said: “I really don’t even think that SNL did anything wrong; they probably didn’t even see my stupid video anyway. I mean, you can’t keep up with all the memes on the internet.”

Comedy troupe Temple Horses accused SNL of plagiarizing two sketches from them: one from October 2018 called “The Pumpkin Patch,” and the second from February 2019 called “Pound Puppy.” Group member Ryan Hoffman told Variety: “Imagine, one day you come home and it looks like somebody’s robbed your house, what do you want from that situation? We feel like somebody took our stuff, and this isn’t the kind of thing where you can just get it back or call your insurance company to have it replaced, so at this point we’re just speaking out about it.”
