I think he'd better not ask Drew for a raise.

I don't think Drew is in the position to grant him a raise.

Rich is being seen more and more on the show, so what do you think?

They'd have to fire a few people to grant that raise.

Rich didn't start appearing on camera more (or having a bigger role, in general) until the Drewcases got rolling. Then there were the more elaborate IUFB (or is it now PUFB?) intros. Now Rich models the occasional prize, shows up in more conventional Showcases, and now is seen at the beginning of the show when Drew says "Hi!" to him. To me, it looks like they were putting out their feelers, making a genuine effort to establish an on-camera relationship between host and announcer, something that hasn't been seen since before Rod got sick. From that point to now, the role of announcer has been that of Disembodied Voice, with the occasional glimpse for birthdays. I have my own guess as to who was to blame for that, since the "Fremantle policy" argument has been shot to pieces.

Now I'm hoping that a similar effort will be made to increase the interaction between Drew and the five remaining models. The dancing at the top of the show is nice, but they still don't do that much with Drew during the rest of the show.

For what it's worth, John says Roger greenlighted Rich being on-air before he was fired.

That sentence makes no sense. Rich has always been "on-air". Do you mean "on camera"? And before who was fired? I presume you mean Roger but the way your sentence is written it's ambiguous.

This is the exact quote from ClockgameJohn at Golden-road:

P.S.  I do know that Roger, prior to his departure, was the one who greenlighted Rich's on camera appearances for the beginning Season 37.
