Nick Diamond

Nick Diamond is a fictional character on the animated series Celebrity Deathmatch. Nick was voiced by Len Maxwell from 1998 to 2002 and he is currently voiced by Chris Edgerly.

Celebrity Deathmatch

Nick is the announcer and (according to some episodes) co-creator of the show 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.

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 completly in full health for the remainder of the episode, he had recovered by the next one.

Post-Deathmatch

Nick had a sex change after the show was cancelled but he reverted it after the return of Celebrity Deathmatch.

The return

Nick had his job back on 2006 after the show's return.

Age

Nick's age is not known because several episodes depicted as a guy in his thirties but some episodes said that he was an announcer on the fifties so will be about 80 years old.Nick's original voice actor Len Maxwell is about 75 years old.
