Hollywood was glued to its screens for Thursday’s must see TV: former FBI director James Comey’s account of the events that led to his firing last month.
Actor Misha Collins, best known for his role as the angel Castiel on the CW television series “Supernatural,” was hellbent on watching, tweeting: “I don’t normally like courtroom dramas, but I’m transfixed by this one. Tune in live now!”
Actor Zach Braff referenced a line from”A Few Good Men,” telling his followers: “If Comey screams ‘You can’t handle the truth!’ we all win.”
“The Daily Show” eulogized CNN’s “Comey Countdown Clock,” while Netflix hit show, “House of Cards,” may have had the best reaction… without saying a word.
Check out some of Hollywood’s best reactions below:
#Comey WOW.

Comey has two waters on his desk and the pattern with which he drinks them will deliver a binary message. Pay close attention. pic.twitter.com/bx3HF8O3II

Being invited to dinner with Trump must feel a bit like being asked to tea with Putin.

Based on today's hearing and the way both parties are handling it we are now living in two different realities.

Trying figure this out. Is every GOP senator on Trump's legal team?

Watching #ComeyHearings. @SenatorRisch just complimented the shit out of #JamesComey's writing ability. Wish Rich had reviewed @YogaHosers.

Nice of Burr to TWICE invoke the Steele Dossier so clumsily that Comey can't answer it in public and must leave it sound entirely verified
