Cenk Uygur Sues Stephen Colbert
Cenk Uygur sues Stephen Colbert over a joke. Cenk Uygur said on his program Wednesday that Colbert used his joke on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.” Cenk Uygur posted a video on YouTube comparing his joke — which Cenk Uygur claims he first told on his Sept. 7 radio program — with a segment that aired on “The Colbert Report” four days later.
In both jokes, Cenk Uygur and Colbert suggest that the Republican presidential candidates sounded like Klingons from “Star Trek” while speaking about the value of honor.
This would not be the first time that Stephen Colbert invents a fight with somebody I bet you that Cenk Uygur and Stephen Colbert are probably pals from the stand up days.
