Ghost Chimp MD on CBS?
Kyle Baker character stolen by Craig Ferguson?
For some reason, Craig Ferguson, a very funny person in his own right, has allegedly appropriated the work of Kyle Baker, the funniest man in the world. You can see the evidence at http://myspace.com/ghostchimpmd and at YouTube.
Kyle developed the idea when he was working at Warner Bros. in the early 1990s.
Bob Morales, a frequent Baker collaborator said, "Why do they always steal from the African-Americans? First, blues, then jazz, now Ghost Chimp M.D."
More when we hear about it -- and the lawyers weigh in.

Where is the Kyle Baker version? I thought the MySpace site would have some kind of side-by-side evidence.

Try Kyle's blog, Brian.

That link isn't working for me, so Martha emailed me a link to www.thefourthrail.com which talks about Kyle's "Undercover Genie" trade paperback and mentions Kyle's "Ghost Chimp, M.D." back in June of 2003.
Amazing.
