That is Harvey Cowan, producer of Wilson's "promotainment"* radio series The Music Factory. This staged set of photos seems to suggest that Nico was an on-air guest at one point, but only an ad for her Chelsea Girls album was ever aired (although it was aired many times).

*In the guise of a "free-form" FM radio show, it was actually an extended ad for MGM/Verve Records, distributed free to any station willing to play it.

Irwin Chusid is in the midst of replaying the Music Factory episodes on his WFMU show, in full and in sequence from #1. See http://wfmu.org/playlists/IC for info and links to archived versions of those programs.
