This is sort of awesomely hilarious. It occurs to me that Ze Frank has pioneered his own, almost entirely new style of news anchoring — no breaths, fresh cadence, quick talking, audience involvement. I don’t know if you could stretch him out to 15 minutes, or even 30, but I’d think some enterprising cable network would be willing to try.
Update: More Ze Frank, at the TED Conference, with an awesome parody of Nigerian bank transfer spam.
