Deadline: Stormy Daniels & Boris Johnson To Guest On Channel 4’s U.S. Election Night Coverage

Story from Deadline:

UK broadcaster Channel 4 has booked Stormy Daniels and Boris Johnson to feature as guests on its first live U.S. election night show in 32 years.

Channel 4’s America Decides: US Election Results (working title) will be anchored in Washington D.C. by Emily Maitlis and Krishnan Guru-Murthy. The coverage is produced by ITN Productions.

Daniels, the adult film actress at the heart of Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, and ex-UK Prime Minister Johnson will be live in Washington alongside former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Succession star Brian Cox and Caitlyn Jenner have also been booked by Channel 4.

Channel 4 has struck a deal with CNN to share guests, reporters, graphics and data across the night. The broadcaster will simulcast updates from the “Magic Wall” of John King, CNN’s anchor and chief national correspondent.

Channel 4’s first overnight U.S. election coverage since 1992 will also include contributions from Jeremy Vine, the BBC presenter, and Channel 4 News presenter Matt Frei.
