The hearing inspired @Limericking to create some poetry: "The fellow Trump opted to fire Wrote memos consistently prior For he came to notice The shady new POTUS Was also, by nature, a liar."

@TimFederle has an idea of where Trump was during the hearing: "Somewhere, Jared is letting Donald beat him at Mario Kart."

Former FBI director James Comey testified before a public session of the Senate Intelligence Committee starting around 10 a.m. Eastern time. Comey, who was fired by President Donald Trump, mainly discussed his relationship with the president as well as Russia's interference in the U.S. election. Later today, Comey will join a private closed-door committee session about the issue.

We have you covered if you're looking for more information about the situation as a whole or today's testimony in particular, but we also have you covered when it comes to the hottest takes and funniest memes.

The stakes were obviously much higher than the Super Bowl, but the testimony was nonetheless treated like a spectator sport.

MUM'S THE WORD: President quiet during testimony, but his son's not 

(Story continues below.)

Former FBI Director James Comey said he isn't sure tapes of his conversation with President Trump exist, but he would welcome them if they did.

Media: Time

ALSO

Across the country, restaurants had special hours and deals for the event. In homes, offices, and bars coast to coast, people brought out popcorn and enjoyed cocktails, watching the hearing with their friends and family and pets. Even celebrities like Lorde were paying attention.

Of course, Twitter was blowing up. After all, if nobody Tweets about it, it never really happened, right?

Perhaps surprisingly, Trump didn't Tweet during the testimony, and he still hasn't Tweeted, as of noon Eastern time (though people are preparing themselves for when he does).

There were tons of jokes about the conspiracy theory involving Donald Trump and urine—and maybe, just maybe Comey himself was referring to the conspiracy when he said, "I saw the tweet about the tapes, Lordy I hope there are tapes." Okay, probably not, but that didn't stop the Tweets.

There were seemingly endless Tweets about the hearing. But you probably don't have time to spend all day on Twitter, so we've included some of the best reactions in the slideshow above.
