Mickey Reed is the host of the Late Night show, which runs after Bobby Mann's show. He is re-arranging Bobby's set, preparing to replace him. Originally, Mickey tells Castle and Beckett how well he and Bobby got on. When they confront him over discrepancies in his testimony, he explains that he didn't want the tabloids reporting that the two had fought on the night Bobby died. While the two had always been friendly, on that night, Bobby had been livid about what a "disloyal punk" Mickey was. Beckett obtains a search warrant for Mickey's apartment and returns to the precinct.
