Former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw was right in the middle of opining on the implications of Mitch McConnell’s easy win tonight when an Election Night alarm cut in — and it wasn’t the kind you’d expect.
“We were just talking on air, a lot of this is about 2016 —” Brokaw said, when suddenly what sounded like a nuclear-power meltdown alert starting blaring. He kept up obliviously for a few seconds while hosts Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow looked on politely.
“Could that be me?” Brokaw asked incredulously.
“No, no, it’s not you,” Maddow assured. “It’s something ambient.”
“No, I’m afraid it is, unfortunately,” Brokaw replied sheepishly. “The alarm goes off, and there you are.”
