Nick is the announcer and (according to some episodes) co-creator of Celebrity Deathmatch along with Johnny Gomez. One of the many things Nick did before Deathmatch was being a meteorologist (one episode showed old footage of him braving a hurricane), and a former Golden Gloves champion. Despite winning three matches against Zatar the Alien, the Satyr, and Sam Donaldson, Johnny has in fact proved to be able to beat down Nick whenever he really ticks him off; in one such scuffle Johnny ripped off one of his ears.

[edit] Coma

Early in the first season, Nick suffered an accident when at the end of one match Roger Ebert was thrown across the arena, smashing into one of the supports for the announcer's booth. Nick was tossed onto the ground, putting him in a coma for the rest of the episode and the following one. During this time, Nick had a morphine-induced hallucination of a fight between Elvis and Jerry Garcia. While he was out of action, Jack Nicholson filled in for him in the episode following his accident, and in the episode after that, the son of the show's executive producer was chosen to be his replacement. However, his comments about both Nick and Johnny enraged Nick, who was watching the show with his eyes forced open, snapping him out of his coma. Hijacking an ambulance, he drove right through one of the walls of the Deathmatch arena, and knocked out the executive producer's son with a headbutt. Despite not being completely in full health for the remainder of the episode, he had recovered by the next one.

[edit] Legal problems

Nick and Johnny went to jail once for showing illegal sexual content on the show, but they came out after a few days.

Nick and Johnny also had to go to Congress once to defend all the violence on the show, they won the case.

In 2006, Nick was in a legal problem for sharing music on the internet. However, the music he was sharing were actually nursery rhymes that were in the public domain.

[edit] Replacements

Nick has been replaced several times through the series due to complications by guest commentators.

Jack Nicholson: He replaced Nick for one episode because Nick was in a coma.

Executive Producer's son: He replaced Nick for the first part of an episode till he came from the coma.

Stacey Cornbred and Mills Lane: They replaced Nick and Johnny for the main event of an episode because they were arrested for showing sexual content on the show.

Tally Wong: Replaced Nick for a fight after Nick was sent to the hospital for anthrax worries.

[edit] Age

Nick's age is not known. Several episodes depicted him as a guy in his thirties, but is really 34 years old, while others presented him as an announcer in his fifties. Nick's original voice actor, Len Maxwell, is about 75 years old [citation needed].
