Comedian and "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" correspondent Roy Wood Jr. had the best response to a woman sitting next to him on a flight who was watching Fox News. "Lady on my flight is watching FOX News," he tweeted Thursday. "so for balance, I turned on the Thurgood Marshall movie."

The replies to Wood turing on "Marshal," the 2017 biopic about the civil-rights advocate, lawyer and first black Supreme Court Justice, were equally great. "Power move. In her mind you basically punched her," fellow comedy writer Travon Free said.

But Roy Wood Jr. didn't stop there. In a follow-up tweet, he said, "Finished my civil rights movie and decided to turn up the pressure. Shit just got real," and tweeted a picture of him watching "The Daily Show".
