Lucky Flickerman is a weatherman with the Capitol News Network, but Dr. Gaul taps him to host the 10th Annual Hunger Games. Lucky struggles in the role, often with humorously terrible results: since the Games have never had a television host before, Lucky has to figure out how the Games should be hosted, and he often turns to magic tricks or other silly antics to fill the time. He even brings his pet parrot to set and talks for the parrot when it refuses to speak on command. Despite his disastrous performance, Dr. Gaul suggests that Lucky will be back in the future to host the Games again.
