NBC News chief data analyst Steve Kornacki awkwardly halted live coverage of Tuesday night’s primary election results with an on-air calamity that one viewer hailed as “the true highlight of the night.”Kornacki was in his second hour of reviewing real-time vote tallies, shuffling through some papers when he knocked a nearly full bottle of water onto his desk, apparently soaking his computer and some documents.“Oh boy, the monitor went off,” he declared before throwing his hand to his forehead in frustration.“Sorry, I just don’t wanna... we have to tend to this computer,” the analyst said while grabbing a handful of tissues to mop up the mess.“No!” Kornacki exclaimed again upon realizing that one of his paper maps had also gotten wet.The blunder led to about a one-minute break in coverage as viewers watched him frantically try to clean up the spill amid hushed apologies.Kornacki went on to finish the evening’s coverage without further issue.
