Most people know Steve Kornacki, NBC’s chief data analyst, as the white-shirt-and-khakis, nerdy-sexy stat guy who meticulously breaks down poll results on Election Night. He also makes regular appearances on the network’s sports broadcasts — as he did this past weekend at the Breeders’ Cup — but despite his weekly presence on the network’s Sunday-night NFL coverage, Election Day is Kornacki’s real Super Bowl. (This year, he live-streamed updates for over ten hours straight courtesy of the “Kornacki Cam,” amassing a record 29 million views.)
Having spent over a decade covering politics, Kornacki has developed a strict Election Night routine that purposely excludes food. “I read a biography of Red Auerbach, the legendary Boston Celtics coach, many years ago,” says Kornacki, who grew up in the Boston area. “He never ate on a game day because he believed that it took his edge off. That’s stuck with me through the years.”
