Just read where Conan O'Brien is being sued in U.S. District Court for stealing jokes from a freelance blogger. This is an eyebrow raiser considering he has a roomful of writers trading wits with each other. Milton Berle used to brag about stealing jokes from other comedians but that was in bygone days and Uncle Miltie was a veteran of vaudeville and shameless about the issue. Bob Hope used to kid about it but this was all before we became a litigious society.
