TV host called out for a joke on The Late Late Show, which was direct repetition of a gag from Gervais’ 2018 Netflix stand-up comedy special
James Corden has admitted he “inadvertently” repeated a Ricky Gervais joke word-for-word in his TV show.
The 44-year-old host was called out for a joke that aired on The Late Late Show on Halloween, which was a direct repetition of a gag from Gervais’ 2018 Netflix stand-up comedy special.
Corden posted on his show’s Twitter account on Tuesday: “Inadvertently told a brilliant Ricky Gervais joke on the show last night, obviously not knowing it came from him.”
He continued: “It’s brilliant, because it’s a Ricky Gervais joke. You can watch all Ricky’s excellent specials on Netflix.”
