James Corden accused of stealing Noel Fielding joke in resurfaced tweet after telling Ricky Gervais bit

A 2017 tweet in which comedian Noel Fielding claimed James Corden had appropriated one of his stand-up bits resurfaced Tuesday after the host admitted he accidentally told a Ricky Gervais joke.

The joke was almost verbatim one that Gervais told in his 2018 Netflix stand-up special "Humanity" – down to the specificity about guitar lessons. 

Gervais noted the similarities in a Tweet and Corden later acknowledged on Twitter: "I Inadvertently told a brilliant Ricky Gervais joke on the show last night, obviously not knowing it came from him."
