What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSony Music Entertainment Japan has named Tim Erickson CEO of Peanuts Worldwide and Ken Ohtake chairman, according to Deadline.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the panel question is this: would you take a job running a company whose hero loses every single time?

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAbsolutely, and I'm sorry, but it's the safest job in America.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNobody expects Charlie Brown to win, so a bad quarter is just Tuesday in the pumpkin patch.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI disagree. I once watched a minister kick a football at a summit, and the whole treaty fell over.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFailure on a schedule is still failure.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA treaty.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAs a woman who has held a football for a man, I take that personally.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI pulled it away once, in college, and he is still thanking me.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs a man who has sat next to Vera for years, I'd like to say I am the one lying on the grass.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI would not take the job. I have been Charlie Brown here since the first blizzard.

12. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen I change my vote. Hank would be wonderful at it, and the football would finally be safe.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWait, you switched because you like Hank? That is the pettiest thing I have ever heard on this couch.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI switched because he has never once pretended he'd win.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorShow of hands: who would run Peanuts? Two for, one against, and the football is still in the air.
