CNN host John King has seriously been stressing viewers out this Election Night.
The 57-year-old anchor is leading the channel's coverage of the 2020 US presidential elections tonight (November 3).
However, those tuning into his commentary have noticed that the host has picked up some pretty annoying habits.
For starters, he's developed a penchant for using the world "fun" to describe the wait to find out who is the next US president.
Unsurprisingly, anxiety-ridden viewers have been venting on Twitter about his questionable choice of words.
One wrote: "John King needs to stop saying "this is fun". This is not fun, it is not a game, this is our lives."

Moments later, a second tweeted: "I swear if John King says “that’s what makes this so much fun!” One more time, I will break my TV."
Another then added: "Not sure what the next four years will look like but I can tell you that this little magic wall that John King is calling “fun” will definitely take at least four years off my life."
Shortly after, a four commented: "John King saying this is fun is probably the most horrible thing a talking head has uttered. Lives are on the line you jackass. This is not fun."
John later appeared to pick up a few other unusual catchphrases whilst on presenting duties this evening.
At one point, he described Joe Biden was having a "buffet of opportunities" – and viewers were seriously divided by the phrase.
Commenting on Twitter, one wrote: "Somebody get John King a sandwich. He keeps talking about the buffet options."
Another added: "Please don’t say “Buffet of possibility” ever again. John King."
Then a third tweeted: "Drink anytime john king says buffet of opportunity or shellacked."
On a brighter note though, fans tuning in were full of praise for his usage of a touchscreen map.

"Just know John King from CNN has been practicing using that lil touch screen map for weeks and is so stoked for his big night," one commented.
Another added: "Can we get John King on Monday night football, touch screen skills are amazing. #nextJohnMadden."
Moments later, a third wrote: "John King is carrying the entire @CNN coverage with his touch screen. Captivating. Wolf is no longer the main man and refreshingly few partisan commentators on CNN election night."
