Columbia University Valedictorian steals jokes from Patton Oswalt ((Oswalt's site))

Did Valedictorian Brian Corman pull a Dane Cook and steal a joke from Comedian Oswalt?

From Popeater, ((Corman, a political science major, told the story as if it was from first-hand experience. After catching wind of the plagiarism, Oswalt sarcastically tweeted: "Congrats to Columbia University valedictorian Brian Corman! Great speech." ))

Owalt should know because he made the joke a couple of years back.

Here's Oswalt joke. The only difference is Brian replaces Romulans with Klingons.

Yes, the joke is very funny and Oswalt is correct. Sulu fires the phasers.

Corman did issue an apology to the comedian. From Popeater.com, ((On his website, Oswalt said Corman "flat-out admitted his thievery, his stupidity," but that the gaffe opens up much larger questions about the former student and, furthermore, the academic standards at Columbia University. ))

Way to start your career by ripping off someone else, Mr. Corman.
