He's been Carlson's sidekick for decades in the show and never thought of becoming a host in the past.

弦外之音
工作上,人人都知道谁是大老板,但有时更重要的是要知道谁是老板的sidekick 。某公司的小林每天早起晚归,兢兢业业,在一个少言寡语的阿拉伯裔的小老板手下工作。办公室里,无论白人、犹太人还是黑人都以为他是木瓜一个,小林也刻意与其保持距离。直到有一天无意中得知那阿拉伯裔常常在周末充当大主管的网球陪打!没人知道他是否是大主管的sidekick,不过他与大老板在周末闲聊时肯定会对在座的员工评头论足,无论肤色种族,职位高低,都有很大的影响。世事难料!
