If I was a real journalist…

LOL! I have thought the exact same thing.

That is Ze Frank, not blinking so you can.

It's interesting how Ze has evolved. The early shows are so funny the make the coffee spurt out of my nose. Now the shows are witty and brilliant mini essays about current affairs and life in general. And on the side Ze is always experimenting with audience feedback and participation. The guy is a genius. He doesn't have time to blink.

He blinks in the first few episodes - not sure when he started editing the blinking out.

Check out this episode where he addresses the issue:

He brings it up himself as a fake comment, but searching his site for "blinking", "blink", "blinks" etc reveal lots of instances when people did post asking the question. The answer is his left nostril dilates when he blinks (or so he claims) which looks odd.

Also on his wiki:

He does blink. Sometimes, and I did read that about his nostrils too. They is pretty damn good. Social, political, the nitty gritty of things.
