The winner of the presidential election is yet to be declared and there can't be many people feeling it as much as Donald Trump or Joe Biden. Well... except may CNN's John King.
The CNN news anchor has been working tirelessly in front of the camera as one of the key figures in the channel's election coverage.
King, 57, has seemed like a constant presence as the election rumbles on, stood beside his magical wall of stats with rare breaks and very little sleep.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times on Thursday (5 November), he said: "I've been on air 12-14 hours both Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday night I got 2.5 hours sleep; Wednesday night 4.
"Happy to do as much as I can. This is an amazing and consequential story. More so because of the pandemic and its impact on everything."
Not much longer, fella, not much longer.
Tweeting their support, appreciative viewers took to social media. One wrote: "I went to sleep last night, and @wolfblitzer and @JohnKingCNN were doing math like Rain Man. Woke up this morning, and they're still at it. What kind of voodoo, black magic, Energizer Bunny s*** is going on over there?"

Another added: "John King about to sleep for 10 days straight after this election."
A third commented: "The real hero of the last 24hrs. The real hero of 2020. John King. Loves his Election data screen. Hates sleep."
Someone else suggested his work is made into a TV show of it's own, saying: "I would 100% watch a documentary on John King's work over these few days. did he sleep at the studio? does he eat? what does he do when he's off camera? is he a robot?"
It's not all been smooth sailing for him, though - earlier today he was trolled with a fake PornHub pop-up.

Someone knocked up a video of the CNN reporter appearing to have to deal with an unwanted pop-up from the adult website.
A lot of people have been speculating as to whether the clip is actually real, which it obviously isn't. Sorry to burst your bubble.
