Cheaters Never Prosper of the Day: One-man comedian cover band Jordan Paris auditioned for Australia’s edition of Got Talent as a stand-up with original material.
Slight snag, however: All the jokes were found to have been stolen from other stand-up comics.
Despite his admitted joke thievery, Australia’s Got Talent let Paris proceed to the semifinals, excusing his inexcusable behavior as not unlike singers covering songs. For his semifinal final appearance, Paris decided to change things up by writing his own jokes — about how he’s a joke thief.
Oh, you better believe things got awkward in a hurry.
