Why do people assume Colbert has even HEARD of Ze Frank’s THE SHOW? I’ve never heard of it, and I consider myself pretty web-hip.
Plus, it wasn’t a very clever joke. In fact, it was sort of obvious. When two comedians come up with the same joke, don’t assume it’s plagiarism — assume it’s merely a joke that anyone could have thought up without too much effort.

(Who the hell is Ze Frank?)
Seems likelier that it’s a coincidence.
