Ex-NBC anchor Brian Williams in talks to host Amazon Prime's 'non-partisan' election night event
Fox News
Former MSNBC anchor Brian Williams will reportedly host a live “non-partisan" election night special for the streaming giant’s first break into live news.
"Amazon’s Election Night special would likely have Williams relying heavily on the Associated Press to determine how candidates were faring state by state. The show would stream from a studio in the Los Angeles area, one of the people said, and could start as early as 5 p.m. eastern," Variety reported. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to lindsay.kornick@fox.com and on Twitter: @lmkornick.
The report continued, "Williams would be prepared to stay at the desk for as many as seven to eight hours — and potentially more. In the case of a close election in which results are too close to call, this person says, Williams would broadcast for as long as it might be sustainable."
