James Corden faces accusations of stealing a Ricky Gervais joke after a line in a his monologue was almost verbatim from a 2018 Gervais stand-up special.
James Corden admitted that he"inadvertently" told a Ricky Gervais joke on his show Monday night after thejoke on the show last night, obviously not knowing it came from him," Corden tweeted from"The Late Late Show with James Corden" account."It’s brilliant, because it’s a Ricky Gervais joke. You can watch all Ricky’s excellent specials on Netflix. J x."
Gervais noted the similarity with a joke he told in 2018 and wrote"The bit about the town square advert for guitar lessons is brilliant" in a since-deleted tweet that included Corden’s clip. During his 2018 stand-up special"Humanity" on Netflix, Gervais said Twitter is"like going into a town square, and seeing a big notice board that says, ‘Notice: Guitar lessons,’ and going: ‘I don’t f---ing want guitar lessons!’ … Fine! It’s not for you, then. Just walk away, don’t worry about it."
