Bill Murray ripped off Dane Cook’s Bit

Okay, I think Bill Murray may have not only jumped the shark, but hit the far wall, fallen in the tank and gotten mauled on the way back across. (and I’m a fan of Mr. M, or BM as I’ll call him now)

I was watching the boob tube last night and there was a promo for Bill Murray who would be appearing on Letterman last night. The clip they showed had him declaring his love, crazy-style, for one Katie Holmes.

Heh, you say. Lolz!!11 you type. But “omgwtfbbq!” I thought. Now granted, I didn’t see the full appearance, just the clip, but BM’s bit seemed lifted from the very funny Dane Cook, who did the same act on Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

Don’t believe me? Go look for yourself on Dane’s site (just wear headphones or be quick to turn the sound off). Click Video, and on the left click “Jimmy Kimmel Live 5/27/2005″. Yes, the show that happened A MONTH before BM’s appearance.

Again, I didn’t see BM’s whole appearance, but I’ll look for an archive to continue my “J’accuse plagiariste!!” rant. Maybe one of my friends has a copy on their myth boxes.
