But it isn’t, because if someone puts up a poster in a town square that says ‘guitar lessons available,’ you don’t get people in the town going: ‘I don’t wanna play the guitar!’ But that sign wasn’t for you, it was for somebody else — you don’t have to get mad about all of it." View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn Ricky Gervais' 2018 special, Humanity, he quips similar thoughts on Twitter, stating:"[It is] like going into a town square, and seeing a big notice board that says, ‘Notice: Guitar lessons,’ and going: ‘I don’t f---ing want guitar lessons!’ … Fine! It’s not for you, then. Just walk away, don’t worry about it."After Gervais pointed out the similarities between his and Corden's monologs, he swiftly deleted his tweet. However, he came to James' defense after a Twitter user asked if the television show host took his permission to use the joke. He said:Ricky Gervais@rickygervais@Drew_1981 No. I reckon one of the writers 'came up with it' for him. I doubt he would knowingly just copy such a famous stand up routine word for word like that.5223146@Drew_1981 No. I reckon one of the writers 'came up with it' for him. I doubt he would knowingly just copy such a famous stand up routine word for word like that.James Corden was also in the headlines a few weeks back for his alleged bad behavior, which led to him getting banned from New York's Balthazar restaurant. The eatery owner Keith McNally claimed the television show host was "extremely nasty" to the staff on two separate occasions.Corden later apologized for his behavior on his show and stated that it was never his intention to do that.
