Yes indeed, he was there first.Ah, I didn't know that. I'm genuinely surprised he stayed after she was let go. I can imagine her not being happy about him being kept on when she is the 'famous' one out of the two of them and trying to get him to jack it in too.
She should be ashamed - not that she will ever be - of how she revelled in taking the job there, in the circumstances.
I don't watch it but I gather she was not good at it. Can't think why...
It's probably their main source of income now so he had better hold tight.
