Jon Stewart : Dane Cook :: Patton Oswalt : Louis C.K.

I hate to mention comedy God Jon Stewart in the same breath as no-talent hack Dane Cook, but after watching Thursday night's Daily Show they seem to have at least one thing in common: ripping off another comic's material.

As part of the Daily Show bit on food on the campaign trail, Stewart went into a riff, in Bill Clinton's voice, about Clinton's desire to take his chicken and tea, mash it up, put it in a blender, and inject it into his eye:



Funny stuff. It was even funnier, though, last year, when Patton Oswalt did his bit about the KFC customer who wanted his chicken, potatoes, and corn put in a bowl, mashed up, and ideally put into a blender and injected into his femoral artery:



Seeing how Oswalt has been doing this joke for a while (including at a show that was broadcast on Comedy Central), and it's the first track on his new album 'Werewolves and Lollipops,' I imagine someone in The Daily Show's writers' room must have been familiar with it. So it's a shame they felt it was OK to essentially re-purpose it for Stewart, at least without giving a shout-out to Oswalt.
