Tuesday night's midterm primary election coverage on NBC took an unexpected turn when elections analyst Steve Kornacki experienced a technical hiccup.
While attempting to reference his notes, Kornacki accidentally spilled water on his computer, causing a monitor malfunction. The incident left Kornacki visibly flustered, rubbing his forehead and gesturing to the production crew for assistance.
The moment was captured on camera and aired at the beginning of NBC's Nightly News with Tom Llamas. Kornacki's attempts to clean up the spill were met with amusement from the crew, including senior producer Adam Noboa, who quipped, "Catch on fire?" in response to Kornacki's concern about the computer's safety.
Kornacki eventually collected himself and continued tracking primary election results, while Noboa continued to chuckle at the situation. The ordeal took up about a minute of airtime, but Kornacki took it in stride, concluding with a laugh of his own.
Despite the unexpected interruption, NBC's coverage of the midterm primary election continued smoothly, with Kornacki providing expert analysis and insights to viewers.
