Albert Camus? lol
Robin Williams was known to repeat others’ jokes without attribution, a cardinal sin among comics, even if the sinner did so by accident.
And yet, Robin Williams was usually forgiven by his victims, and it never became a scandal. The reasons (beyond his ad-lib style of channel-surfing-Impressionism lending to the plausibility of accidental plagiarism) were that he always admitted his error quickly when called out and contacted the writer/comic to make it right, and then didn’t repeat the mistake.
Perhaps Klein was too busy for such things.
Also, comedy isn't science.
