Got to agree with Walter, as usual...
Relationships tend to get worse, not better, with time. I can't imagine a relationship that starts out this rocky becoming smooth as silk later on.
From what little we've heard, this guy sounds like a control freak prima donna (or whatever the male equivalent of a prima donna is), with an over-inflated sense of self importance.... as is all-too-often seen in local television personalities.
You call him the "co-host"... obviously that means it is not
his show, that he is not the sole talent. Does the show hinge on him? Can it be done with someone else?
If he is what carried the show before,
his following that generated an audience, then I think you might be in trouble. If on the other hand it's the show
itself that people wanted to watch, I'd definitely consider re-casting the part and moving on.
Lots of people (herself included) thought
"Live!"..." would tank without Kathy Lee... but if you'll notice, Regis is doing just fine without her.
