"Dear Founding Fathers:" The cold open to Amazon's "Election Night Live with Brian Williams" was an outstanding letter about America's "more perfect union" pic.twitter.com/jtBcXZ7GGF

Unpopular opinion but every man on TV doesn’t have to wear a purple tie. You could go yellow or orange or green or brown. Cmon men

MSNBC is running a non-stop "Kornacki Cam" stream on YouTube following Steve Kornacki all evening. He's just chilling on his phone right now while dramatic music plays pic.twitter.com/emwd5IN2y3

Brian Williams didn’t come to Election Night to break news, but rather to put it all together…..

The veteran anchor hosted a special on Amazon that has the streaming giant dipping more seriously into live events, if not news programminghttps://t.co/sKHrKYj3ay via @variety

you should be able to send steve kornacki sponsor gifts like in the hunger games

The FOX News desk and their 8 person panel is almost doing a victory lap.

Time to panic.

We’ve seen this before.

All 7 swing states still too early to call.

Don’t do it folks. Don’t do it to yourself.

Watching Democrat coverage tonight, hilarious to remember these people spent the whole campaign season shouting about "threats to democracy!" and "Fascism!" – They dont believe a single word of that. If "Hitler" was actually ahead in Georgia, they'd be a little more freaked out.

Brian Williams on Amazon says on their broadcast, ‘when other networks make a call’ they will announce it.
‘we are not encumbered by a decision desk tonight’….
“we’re watching everything" so viewers "only need to watch us”

I'm watching and it's pretty incredible. Both pretty impressive that their first(/only?) show is an all night election telethon, but also weirdly lo-fi. It's a tremendous amount of Brian Williams + ex-cable news regulars whose contracts didn't get renewed… https://t.co/6dNA1meeJ5

Brian Williams kicks off his election results coverage on Prime Video early – at 5 p.m. EST – with a folksy pre-taped monologue written as a open letter to the founding fathers, then a live intro noting they are based in California, unlike the other major TV results shows.

MSNBC has Steve Kornacki, CNN has John King, Newsmax has… Rick Santorum? pic.twitter.com/O4mT1ocw7p

Nice to see Brian Williams back on the TV, until the inevitable truck runs into his desk. pic.twitter.com/02f2FnqUxB

I love CNN, but they really need to reevaluate their use of the term "KEY RACE ALERT"

Appears from this background Brian Williams has pitched his anchor desk in the middle of a highway. pic.twitter.com/D0zzaqQVzT

Y’all on the Peacock app they have a dedicated kornacki cam that lets you switch to the Map Daddy at any time like he’s NFL Red Zone https://t.co/h5cYkw0eDg pic.twitter.com/UuGvkOEH0U

The Amazon show has Brian Williams looking at his phone and relaying what Steve Kornacki is saying on MSNBC.
