Everyone’s been crushing on MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki since his epic, multi-day performance breaking down vote returns during the 2020 election.
Now, People magazine has included him in its annual list of the “Sexiest Men Alive.”
“Never before have khakis and a striped tie gotten so many hot under the (Oxford) collar,” People wrote in its blurb about the 41-year-old numbers guy.
“The MSNBC journalist’s tireless coverage tracking the long post-election day vote tallying process earned him the title of ‘Chartthrob’.”

The magazine also noted how Kornacki, who ranked #12 on the list, was responsible for a significant uptick in Gap’s khaki sales.
The clothing company announced a “dramatic increase in online traffic” and “within a day, we saw around 90% unit sale increase online” of the khakis Kornacki wore during his election coverage.
Kornacki has yet to respond to making it on the coveted list, but his fans on Twitter are overjoyed…

Well deserved. In addition, a substantial raise for all his efforts. Whew!……

I’m glad to read yet more hard-hitting LBGT coverage about important issues.
Charlie in Charge
Oh hon, I’m sorry you didn’t make the list. Maybe next year.

Maybe you could start your own journal if you think the news isn’t covered adequately.

Ah yes package daddy. He’s so cool in an “oh sht I spilled the cheerios” sort of way.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Loved him for years. Well deserved.
I’m sure he’s just laughing his ass off about it. He seems like that kind of guy. Very good natured and not at all full of himself.

Jack McFarland: “The rare, hot gay nerd….”
Rosario: “I’ve never seen one up-close but he’s quite spectacular…”

I love that guy!

He can light my candle stick anytime!

The bar is so low for cisgender white men I swear to god. He looks like a social studies teacher and not even one of the hot ones.

Bitter, party of one, your table is ready.

Wonder if Kornacki’s partner, Michael Bauer, is surging in the poles at the thought of being with a hot chartthrob?
