A Jesus Horse is a satirical name for a dinosaur, coined by comedian Jimmy Fallon on an episode of the late night comedy-variety TV show Saturday Night Live on February 21, 2004 in a Weekend Update skit that mocked Christian fundamentalists in the U.S. state of Georgia who sought to control the teaching of evolution in public classrooms:
:"This week Georgia's Board of Education approved a plan that allows teachers to use the word 'evolution' when teaching biology. Though as a compromise, dinosaurs are now called 'Jesus Horses.'"
