James Corden has apologized for stealing a joke from Ricky Gervais. Some fans on social media noticed that his material seemed a bit similar to Gervais’ work in a 2018 stand-up special. With that many people calling attention to the joke, the comedian couldn’t sit idly by. On Twitter, he apologized and said it was an honest mistake. Basically, Corden argued that he did it inadvertently. Now, some fans weren’t inclined to believe this statement, but he did acknowledge it. It’s been a bit of weird period for the late-night host as he came under fire for being rude to staff at a New York restaurant recently.
Inadvertently told a brilliant Ricky Gervais joke on the show last night, obviously not knowing it came from him. It’s brilliant, because it’s a Ricky Gervais joke. You can watch all Ricky’s excellent specials on Netflix. J x
