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. “
