NBC's Steve Kornacki became something of an overnight sensation thanks to his non-stop election coverage. Celebrity fans including Chrissy Teigen, Billy Eichner, and Leslie Jones flocked to herald his impressive dedication to keeping viewers briefed on the results while Gap reportedly saw a spike in sales of khakis after he went viral, according to People, who proudly named Kornacki one of the Sexiest Men of the Year, describing him as a "Chartthrob" thanks to his mastery of the electoral map.

Kornacki's colleagues congratulated the respected political correspondent for this latest honor, while Kornacki himself admitted to being "truly blindsided" by all the attention. The author told the New York Times in 2018 that he really came into his own upon becoming MSNBC's "map guy," admitting, "This is the thing that I really kind of wanted to do here." As Vanity Fair argues, there are far worse people to crush on right now particularly considering he'll forever be associated with the excitement around the 2020 election.
