Subject: imitation of Sarah Haskin's "Target Women" - she deserves credit

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing about the segment of the Late Night Show called "Target Demographics" which is a eerily similar to Sarah Haskin's show "Target Women." This comedy segment seems clearly to either be a parody of Sarah Haskin's show or an imitation - either way Sarah Haskins is owed credit for her ideas.

The fact that the writers of the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" would find it acceptable to steal a comedy bit from someone is outrageous. If they so admired Sarah's wit, they could have hired her as a writer, or, hired her to perform on the show. They did neither. Instead, they imitated her so closely that the name of the show, the subject matter, and the presentation are clearly derivative.

Please publicly apologize to Ms Haskins and compensate her appropriately.

Sincerely,

[my name here]
