Larry Wilmore Mocks Al Sharpton Photobombing Obama During Selma March

On Monday night, Comedy Central host Larry Wilmore poked fun at MSNBC's Al Sharpton for "sneaking over Obama's shoulder” to take a picture during the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma.

The Nightly Show host began his remarks by admiring a picture from the Selma march and commented that “this is the a-team of civil rights. Wait a minute. Someone from the b-team is trying to work their way in. Zoom in on that. Zoom in on that. Is that Sharpton?” 

Wilmore concluded his hilarious mocking of Sharpton by wondering “[h]ow did you get in there? Weren't you just in Seattle marching for black coffee? Sneaking over Obama's shoulder. Well, you know what they say -- the arc of history always bends towards justice, and Al Sharpton's face always bends towards the camera. Just one of those things. “
