Former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith will join longtime NBC and MSNBC anchor Brian Williams on Amazon’s live streaming coverage as results of the 2024 presidential election come in, a first-of-its-kind special called Election Night Live with Brian Williams.
Billed as an Amazon Prime Video exclusive, the election coverage will feature Smith, reporting from Vice President Kamala Harris’ election headquarters. He’s been absent from TV screens since he exited CNBC in 2022.
“This will be the first — if you’ll forgive the phrase — new product introduction in the election night space since color television,” Williams told the Associated Press, saying he’ll anchor Election Night from a brand-new Amazon studio in Los Angeles.
Amazon will get its election returns data from the AP and Reuters, and feature commentary from political consultants James Carville and Mike Murphy, along with writer-comedian Baratunde Thurston.
