Conan O’Brien Sued For Allegedly Stealing Jokes, Including Tom Brady MVP Quip

Share this: A lawsuit alleging late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien stole three jokes from another comedy writer moved forward in a Southern California U.S. District Court, and Tom Brady is the subject of one of them. Alex Kaseberg claims O’Brien and his writers infringed on the copyrights of at least five of his jokes between December 2014 and June 2015, The Hollywood Reporter reported Monday. And although Judge Janis Sammartino agreed that jokes about facts and current events only have “thin” copyright protection, she believed a jury could potentially find enough similarities in three of the jokes.

His reaction was quick, decisive and, quite frankly, a little rude. Well that wasn’t very nice. Here’s a slo-mo version of Hinchcliffe’s bird: Personally, we just can’t wait until the real fireworks start at IMS in two weeks, when Fernando Alonso makes his bid for the Indianapolis 500.

Crutchlow: “Front row in the dry in Jerez is good”

Cal Crutchlow, P3: “I’ve been losing in the last sector the whole weekend but I’m very happy to be on the front row, my second of the year, and it was really nice to complete the Honda front row. The team have been working really hard and this weekend we’ve been testing some things for Honda, long nights for the guys in the garage and we haven’t changed much in the setup but we’re happy to do it and it’s a nice job to have – and we’re fast at the same time. We’ve tried most of the tyres and we know the soft rear won’t last the race. The hard will last but I don’t know if it will
