Johnny is the announcer and (according to some episodes) co-creator of Celebrity Deathmatch along with Nick Diamond. In one episode, it's shown that before he got the job on Deathmatch, he was a spokesperson who promoted various rectal creams, and also worked on a gardening television channel.

[edit] Post-Deathmatch

After the show was cancelled, Johnny's career spiraled downwards, hitting rock bottom when he made appearances as a recurring character on Reba. According to Tally Wong, Johnny went bald after the show was canceled, and now wears a toupee. Johnny eventually got his job back in 2006 when Celebrity Deathmatch was back on the air.

[edit] Tally Wong problem

During the fifth season Johnny showed a dislike to interviewer Tally Wong, similar to Nick's dislike to former interviewer Debbie Matenopoulos, questioning Tally and making sarcastic comments about her interviews. It all came to a climax when Tally replaced Nick on the booth after Nick went to the hospital due to anthrax concerns. During a fight between Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson, Tally revealed to the audience several secrets about he had. When Nick returned to the booth, Johnny declared that being with Tally in the booth was the most brutal thing that had ever happened to him.

[edit] Replacements

  • Due to complications of some kind Johnny has been replaced a few times through the series by guest commentators.
  • Stacey Cornbred and Mills Lane: They replaced Nick and Johnny because they were arrested for showing sexual content on the show.

[edit] Age

Johnny's exact age hasn't been revealed on the show. Johnny's myspace says that he's 35 years old, but some episodes show him in the 60's or even the 50's so his age would probably be about 80 years old, but this hasn't been confirmed. Johnny also has been seen in the 1928 for one episode.

[edit] Other appearances

  • He appeared in several Nike commercials that only aired in the U.K..

[edit] Trivia

 Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines.
The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.
  • Johnny's old model had green eyes and black hair, the new model has black eyes and brown hair. Tally Wong stated that Johnny experienced baldness after the show's cancellation so the brown hair is probably a toupee.
  • Johnny's brother in law, Sid, was killed by Bob Dylan in Family Night I when he disguised himself as Mills Lane to enter the ring.
  • The only deathmatch Johnny has fought in was against Sam Donaldson. He was partnered with his co-announcer Nick Diamond. In the first episode of Season 5, it was originally planned to have Johnny and Nick fight each other in the Main Event. The fight never took place, though, for Bam Margera got on Don Vito's nerves while fighting Tony Hawk and round up fighting him instead.
  • Johnny's voice actors Maurice Schlafer and Jim Thornton are both radio announcers.
  • Johnny's catchphrase "Good night, Good fight" is similar to "Good Night, and Good Luck" phrase of Edward R. Murrow.
  • In the new series, Johnny's catchphrase "Good night, good fight" is occasionally changed to "Good night, and good fight".
  • Very occasionally in Season 6, when a fight starts, Johnny says, "There's the bell, and this one is underway!".
