Publicity-Shy Air America Host Wants To Sue Colbert Over Ownership Of Fairly Obvious Klingon Joke
Since we're never ones to ignore the announcement of a perfectly good, publicity-attracting, $65 million nuisance lawsuit against a high-profile show business personality, we note Air America radio show host Cenk Uygur's declaration of legal war against Stephen Colbert, whom he accuses of stealing a joke that no two individuals, save perhaps millions of Star Trek fans familiar with the Klingonian code of honor, could possibly have arrived at independently. You can watch him plead his case above; hopefully, this ugliness can be settled out of court, perhaps with an invitation by the Colbert Report camp for Uygur to join their Trekkie host in a Klingon Joke-Off reminiscent of the Metaphor-Off that salvaged Colbert's relationship with Sean Penn.
