For more than forty years, Caesar Flickerman has hosted interviews with an appearance virtually unchanged throughout. He conducts Peeta’s interview with his familiar on-camera presence, yet his voice takes on a real edge of pain as they discuss Peeta’s love confession. Katniss later remembers him as the host she told about lamb stew.

Description

Caesar has powder-blue hair, with his eyelids and lips coated in the same hue. His midnight-blue suit is dotted with a thousand tiny electric bulbs that twinkle like stars. His appearance is described as virtually unchanged over more than forty years.
