That's my impression as well. Read the news, shit out 50 hack jokes about the stories on twitter, then wait for someone to do something similar on TV so you can sue them. Fuck this guy.

Ironically, I think that's the thing that would hurt his case more than anything. The less percentage of jokes Conan shares with this twitter feed, the easier it is to argue coincidence, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see TNT settle "for an undisclosed amount" since that is usually much cheaper than going to trial.

That dude is fucking delusional. Thinks hes famous now because of this lawsuit. And he put up another 50 horrible fucking jokes about the dentist and Cosby. I hope Conan's army of lawyers rip that douche a new one to show that people can't just make a quick buck by suing big corporations.
Eventually he'll think up a joke that Conan's writing team has already used, and then they'll be able to sue him back to recover the money!

Full Court Document
That's the full document that was filed. The dates are all "on or about". I doubt he has any chance if it goes to court.
