NBC political correspondent Steve Kornacki was one of the network's stars of the presidential election in November, takings viewers through vote counts with the help of his interactive map.

As election night slowly morphed into election week, the nation fell deeper and deeper in love with Kornacki, his khakis, and his updates on incoming vote counts from Maricopa County.

Kornacki was such a star that NBC decided to get more use out of his talents at the big board by adding him to their broadcast of "Sunday Night Football."

Ahead of the game, Kornacki updated viewers on the NFL playoff picture after the day of games.

The tone and cadence of his voice was a comfort to anyone who found peace in Kornaki's khakis over the course of the election.
