Patton Oswalt and Andy Richter to testify in Conan O'Brien joke-stealing trial -- Elayne Boosler barred from testifying for plaintiff

The Hollywood Reporter

Conan O'Brien's lawyers have successfully convinced a judge to bar two "joke experts" that plaintiff Alex Kaseberg sought to have testify on his behalf in his joke-theft trial, including Boosler. Another expert, David Barsky, was barred after Kaseberg asked him to analyze a pattern of jokes that appeared on Kaseberg's blog and in Conan's monologue. Meanwhile, Patton Oswalt, Andy Richter and even Conan O'Brien himself have all received the greenlight to testify on behalf of the defense.
