At Turner upfront, truTV's Adam Conover debunks the "TV is dead" myth

At its upfront presentation on Wednesday morning, truTV pulled a card from its own deck and used in-house investigative-comedian Adam Conover, of hit show Adam Ruins Everything, to debunk the “TV is dead” notion.

Conover, who began his career as a web-creator, noted that in his decade of producing digital content he was able to amass over 26 million digital views, but only 2,000 followers.
