Initially simply known as 'Bob Nice', he has steadily become a regularly heard voice on the show.
As a producer he is well known for his somewhat random wanderings out of the studio during the show to leave Clive alone to drive the desk and vet the calls.
Sometime this is to collect a '94' from the drinks machine (a coffee) for Clive.

In the summer of 2006, he presented the Monday to Thursday 8 til midnight show himself, whilst Clive was on holiday.
His presentation style is gentle and laid back, enjoying conversations with his callers.
He doesn't get in to heated debate about news or current affairs issues.

Iain Lee, who always refers to him on air as 'Crazy Bob'.
Bob Johnson was also planning on producing Iain Lees show permenently, but decided to stick with Clive Bulls show.
Bob is a supporter of

He is married with children and lives in
Buckinghamshire.
