Over the weekend, Reese Witherspoon hosted what was, for the most part, a very sedate episode of Saturday Night Live. The evening started with a tribute to the mothers of the cast members and ended with a kitten sketch, and, other than Florence and the Machine’s stirring musical breaks, had little to distinguish it in-between. With one exception. The first half of the show included a A Win Lose or Draw parody with the tiniest bit of edge, paying homage to Charlie Hebdo and the taboos behind drawing the Prophet Muhammad.

Underneath the gentle celebrity impersonations and Taran Killam’s bang-on game-show-host schtick lies the barest hint of a political message. (Something so often lacking on S.N.L. these days.) But after the sketch aired, some viewers noticed that it bore a striking resemblance to this January sketch from a Canadian show called This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

The Canadian version is not only very similar to the S.N.L. sketch, it’s zippier and, having aired back in January, much more timely. Now two writers from 22 Minutes are calling out S.N.L. for the comedic overlap.

It’s entirely possible that this is all a big coincidence, but it wouldn’t be the first time S.N.L. has been accused of lifting a bit. Earlier this season, famed L.A. theater troupe The Groundlings accused S.N.L. of plagiarizing during Sarah Silverman’s episode. And that’s only the most recent example; there are many more. Hopefully this is just another isolated incident and not evidence of a more alarming trend. But the sad truth is that whether lifted or no, most people will remember the S.N.L. version over the 22 Minutes version. The Canadian comedians may want to take solace in the fact that, given how unmemorable this episode of S.N.L. was, people won’t remember the sketch for long.
