I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eg guardian leader' is the definition.
(eg manager of the newspaper the Guardian)

'in guardian has got me but not you excited' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'me' could be 'i' and 'i' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
