There are 1,657 TV series whose entire run was shorter than the Hillary Clinton Benghazi hearing
In the time it took to watch the Hillary Clinton Benghazi hearing, you could have done 11 loads of laundry or had four heart surgeries or binge-watched the entirety of any of the 1,657 American television series that spent less time in total on the air than the 660 minutes it took to grill Clinton.
Shows like ABC's short-lived Selfie, A&E's The Returned, AMC's Low Winter Sun, and Lifetime's Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp were all ultimately canceled before they accrued a total runtime longer than it took the House Benghazi Committee to question Clinton about the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans.
