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 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. In a flashback he had (which Johnny was able to see), it showed him when he was in high school, he was a cheerleader.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 annoys him; in one such scuffle (after the Jean-Claude Van Damme vs. Jackie Chan fight in the MTV version), Nick slapped Johnny's face, then Nick said that he was too fast for Johnny, then he ripped off one of Nick's ears.

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 (Lenny Stanton) 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.
