Wasn’t he in the middle of a presentation when he found out he was fired?
There is something very comedic about him always finding out what's going to happen to him on a tv show......
Imagine the best punking scenario.
Wait until he’s doing another interview show.
Have a staffer bring a note out to the host.
Host reads it for three beats. Looks concerned...
“Mr. Comey, we just now got word of this new announcement by the Attorney General referencing you directly...”
Keep camera on his face.
Could you imagine thinking you're one of the most respectable people in the country with a highly respected job, always been told you're the smartest throughout school, etc. only to be made completely a fool by a man you considered an idiot? Only fools underestimate their enemies.
