The result of eight congressional committees, around 20 million taxpayer dollars and 13 public hearings came to fruition Thursday when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
For almost 11 hours.
“That’s like the whole season of television that the House Select Committee just dropped on us like they were Netflix or something,” host Trevor Noah said on Thursday’s “Daily Show.” “And I watched all of it because I don’t just Benghazi. I Binge-ghazi.”
“Maybe you should wonder if you’re overdoing it when you have more sequels than ‘Fast and the Furious,’ ” Noah suggested.
The political nature of the Benghazi committee was put under a microscope during the hearing as they focused more and more on Clinton’s emails.
“As the investigations went on, it seemed like Republicans started to shift their questions from, ‘Was anyone to blame?’ to, more specifically, ‘Was Hillary to blame?’ to finally just, ’How can we blame this on Hillary?’” Noah said.

Good, but better was Noah noting Jeb!'s “hot” take on the young nubile star of the CBS show Supergirl - warning all of us to remember not to shake hands with Jeb! after 9 p.m. on Wednesdays.
Trump on Ivanka, now Jeb! on Supergirl: the Clown Car out to have a Creep Car side event.
I feel like the crazy train derailed and crashed into the clown car and the creep van…
I kinda like Trevor. He is no Jon Stewart, but no one could be. I like that fact that he is relying more on his correspondents than Jon did. If I could offer one suggestion to him, it would be: don’t laugh at your jokes so much. Jon rarely did that, perhaps in order to appear that he was reading the real news instead of ‘fake news’. Of course it is real news, but when Trevor laughs, he is making the ‘fake news’ seem fake. Or faker. Or something. Minor quibble, and overall Trevor is pretty good.
I like that he does impressions a lot, and can actually use multiple accents. All of Stewart’s accents, even if they didn’t start out that way, ended in super-nebbish Jewish stereotype.
I think he’s still finding his way and not 100% confident in his style yet. But it will come. People forget how Jon looked during his first year of hosting (believe it or not Craig Kilborne was a very popular host). Jon really didn’t find his footing and the direction he wanted to take the show in until after 9-11.
