Overview
- Steve Kornacki tipped over a bottle of water while discussing the Michigan Democratic primary Tuesday night, soaking papers and his workstation.
- The monitor briefly went dark as liquid reached the computer and Kornacki scrambled to find tissues to mop up the spill.
- A production crew member later arrived with towels to assist and NBC Nightly News later showed a clip of the roughly one-minute on-air mishap.
- Producer Adam Noboa made light comments during the cleanup rather than immediately helping, a detail highlighted in coverage of the exchange.
- Despite the disruption, Kornacki resumed election analysis and continued his livestream for hours, and outlets including Mediaite, TheWrap and the Washington Examiner widely circulated the clip.
