When I say "Bob nixed them" I mean he voiced concerns and opinions that I either did not completely disagree with, or that I did not feel strongly enough about to fight him on.

Bob was instrumental in getting our sponsorships and I simply wouldn't want to dismiss his opinion in favor of mine, when he has been the driving force behind the financial success of the show.

Perhaps in the beginning you guys were struggling with ideas and had newbie jitters. But now you guys have a history of some real heavy hitters on your show. There may come a day when your show and guest selection has been of such high quality, that you may find yourself with a tough act to follow.
I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. You might want a vacation, or you might get the flu, and yet you've got this big responsibility of a regular weekly show now. It's almost like you guys have a real job.
