He reminds me of Ralph in that regard. There is a skill and dignity in being able to run a show with guests that are simply better than you. It speaks to their biggest flaw that both of them weren’t able to keep it up: hubris.The "secret sauce" to Nick's trial stream success was the panel format. That is to say, he had panelists on that knew considerably more about the law than he did. In some cases, actual practicing attorneys. They did the heavy lifting. He reaped the financial rewards.
I rather think he needs them more than they need him. And I don't think most of them want him anymore. I can't possibly imagine why.
It’s ok to take the back seat on your own show and let your guests shine, but it requires humility and being honest with yourself. You could be happy that you have the skill and talent to bring the real talent together, in an entertaining fashion, or you could become a resentful faggot and delude yourself into thinking you are the real star instead of the humble and skilled director.
Ultimately they both decided to become the entertainment instead of the entertainer
