Many MSNBC viewers will miss that khaki attitude.

Exuberant stat wonk Steve Kornacki, known for his energetic poll breakdowns and sometimes his Gap khaki pants, has signed with NBC as the network prepares to separate from MSNBC, an NBC rep confirmed to Deadline on Tuesday.

Kornacki’s roll-up-your-sleeves analysis of data became a staple of election coverage on both NBC and MSNBC, but the latter is joining a distinct corporate entity under parent company Comcast. So Kornacki will not be doing work for MSNBC, The Los Angeles Times reported.

He will continue his network duties of probing the numbers in polls, elections and sports. And if history is any indication, perhaps he’ll still be sniffing out the trends of dog shows as well.

Kornacki has been analyzing elections for NBC and MSNBC since 2014 and was dubbed the “crown jewel” of their coverage by NBC Universal.

It isn’t often that a cable news channel must deal with the loss of a worker who made People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” list.

An MSNBC rep told the L.A. Times that the cable channel is hiring dozens of reporters, including one to fill Kornacki’s spot, as the corporate split nears.

The channel experienced a post-election ratings dip and fired an estimated 100 people. It also made headlines by canceling the show of host Joy Reid, whose departure prompted star anchor Rachel Maddow to scold MSNBC on the air.
