Cenk Uygur, host of Air America's morning show "The Young Turks" is suing Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"for $65 million. Mr. Uygur charges that Mr. Colbert has stolen his jokes on many occasions, but he can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that his "Klingon joke" of September 7th was directly pilfered by Mr. Colbert and recycled on his September 11th program on Comedy Central.

pathetic, for a start colbert did it better, and secondly it's an obvious joke that could easily have been thought up by more than one person. publicity stunt.

I remember there was a bit that Ze Frank did that appeared on the Colbert Report soon after as well, so maybe he is a joke thief! Or at least one of his writers is.

they both stole the idea of the klingon.

i mean, you don't "invent" jokes, they occur to you because of what you have seen. they occur to more than one person. maybe someone in a bar somewhere is like "hey, the young turks stole my joke!".

OK, I can see if it was an elaborate joke that was told in the same way, then someone could be guilty of stealing a joke (Mencia). But comparing the republicans to klingons and presenting it in completely different ways, please.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame, sorry, this guy might want some cheese to go with his whine or something. Not funny.

Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 4 days.
