The wigs-off scrum this week between Rep. Maxine Waters and Fox News host Bill O’Reilly was too much for Al Sharpton to ignore and he provided an extension for it.

The MSNBC host did a whole segment on the kerfuffle Sunday morning, missing the point of O’Reilly’s zing and claiming James Brown didn’t wear a wig.

Calling it the “shade heard ’round the world,” Sharpton played O’Reilly criticism of Waters in which he said Waters wears a “James Brown wig.”

Sharpton said O’Reilly was “retaliating” against Waters after she claimed Donald Trump’s critics are more patriotic than his supporters, and deemed O’Reilly jest as “racially-insensitive name-calling.”

“Even those parting shots — even with those parting shots,” Sharpton said, struggling to read the TelePrompTer, “Rep. Waters was not fazed by the comments,” before playing a clip of Waters saying she wouldn’t be “intimidated” by the comment.

Sharpton deemed her comeback a “mic drop.”

“Let me clear up one little thing that might have been misunderstood. As a close personal friend to the late Godfather of Soul, James Brown, I can tell you that may have been confused, that his signature perm was no wig.

“I know this because for 30-plus years, I was around the same hairstylist that he used and would have me use,” Sharpton confessed.

After messing up his hair to confirm his own hair is real, Sharpton said, “So Mr. Reilly” — yes, he said “Reilly” — so let me share three things with you: 1. You never, ever speak ill of a black woman’s hair.

“Two: Jame Brown’s unique style was many things, but it was always authentic, and what was the third thing? On yeah, I got you!” Sharpton said.

O’Reilly’s dig, of course, was that Waters was wearing a Brown-style wig, not that Brown was actually wearing a wig.

But at this point, does it really matter? Was anybody actually watching MSNBC this morning?

As Sharpton would say, “I got you!”
