From the January 15 edition of Fox News' The Five:

DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): This is what they did with Benghazi. The comedians tried to make the story go away by sweeping it under the rug with a little joke to make it look like we are obsessed and crazy.

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): The car on fire. Remember Colbert would always show the Benghazi car on fire as a punchline?
