Brian Williams didn’t come to Election Night to break news, but rather to put it all together. The NBC News veteran kicked off an interesting American experiment Tuesday evening by taking to Amazon’s Prime Video to host a live hours-long Election Night special on the streaming giant’s massive platform.

The former NBC anchor noted the streamer did not have a decision desk and would be reporting when other news outlets made calls.
