Yes, yes it was very "coincidental".
Coincidental that when he wrote his Jim Fixx routine he used EXACTLY THE SAME WORDS.
Coincidental that when he did his "non-smoker" voice, it was exactly the one that Hicks used.
Coincidental that after Hicks death he admitted to pilfering Hicks' material "as a tribute"? Ha ha, yes, of course. A tribute.
All very coincidental.
As Hicks put it: "I have a scoop for you. *I* stole *his* act. I camouflaged it with punchlines, and to really throw people off, I did it before he did."
