Corden, who is already in hot water after being banned from a top New York City due to his treatment of waiting staff, is now facing allegations of copying one of The Office star's most famous gags. During a Halloween special of his talk show on Monday night, James was discussing Elon Musk's controversial takeover of Twitter and plans to charge verified users in a passionate rant. The host said: "When you see Elon Musk talk about Twitter, he does this thing where he goes 'It's the town square.' "But it isn't, because if someone puts up a poster in a town square that says 'guitar lessons available', you don't get people in the town going 'I don't want to play the guitar! I wanna play the piano you piece of s***!' He finished: "But that sign wasn't for you, it was for somebody else, you don't have to get mad at all of it." The audience found it incredibly funny and burst into laughter, while James basked in the giggles from the crowd. The clip was posted on the show's Twitter page, so many UK fans were quick to point out that it's almost a carbon copy of Ricky's side-splitting joke from 2018. During his Humanity gig, Gervais took the mick out of social media users who take things far too personally on Twitter. "They choose to read my tweet, and then take that personally," he said during his sketch, from four years ago. "That's like going into a town square, seeing a big notice board and there's a notice - guitar lessons - and you go, 'But I don't want f***ing guitar lessons'." Ricky made a near identical joke in his Humanity tour in 2018 Gervais added: "Fine, it's not for you then, just walk away. Don't worry about it!" Having noticed the undeniable similarities between Corden's joke and his, Ricky shared the clip on Twitter with the words: "The bit about the town square advert for guitar lessons is brilliant." He would later delete the tweet an){kind=link}
