Celebrity Deathmatch/Characters

This is a character sheet for the MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch.

Johnny Gomez
One half of the show's commentary team. The "Straight Man" of the group, Johnny is more professional than his co-host Nick Diamond, and is constantly calling him out for his crazy behavior and zany schemes.

""Good fight, good night!" -- spoken at the end of every episode"
 * Catch Phrase:


 * Combat Commentator

Nick Diamond
The other commentator. Nick is far more eccentric than Johnny is, and has been shown to be an alcoholic and a divorced father of one. Nick is constantly getting himself into trouble, and has participated in (and won) Deathmatches on several occasions. Has an intense hatred of Debbie Matenopoulos.

"Johnny: (during phone call) Good GOD! That's HORRIBLE! Nick: If that's the A.S.P.C.A., I'm not here."
 * Badass: Currently has two Death Match victories to his name, despite being an announcer.
 * Berserk Button: Zatar pushed this when he kills Peter Mayhew and Mark Hamill...and paid for it.
 * Butt Monkey: Whenever something goes horribly awry, expect him to usually be the one at the receiving end of it.
 * The Chew Toy: Tended to be injured far more than any of the other regulars.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Combat Commentator
 * The Lancer: Often to the more laid back Johnny.
 * Mushroom Samba: During his coma arc, when Nick Jr. accidentally turns up the morphine.
 * Noodle Incident:

Mills Lane
The referee. He is a grumpy old man who has a very laissez-faire attitude toward the rules, and serves mainly to open the fight and declare the winner once somebody is dead. Was voiced by himself during the show's original run, but couldn't return when the show was Uncancelled due to the fact that he had suffered a stroke. He once fought and defeated Judge Judy in the Deathmatch ring.

""Let's get it on!" -- at the start of each match "I'll allow it!" -- whenever a fighter complains that the other person is breaking the rules "The winner is... !" or " is the winner!" -- at the end of each match"
 * Catch phrases:


 * As Himself
 * I Am a Humanitarian: There are several instances where he's seen eating human flesh. The Emeril Legasse vs. The Two Fat Ladies fight being one of them.
 * Major Injury Underreaction: He's not immune to getting hurt, yet he isn't fazed.
 * Wouldn't Hit a Girl: As long as he doesn't physically see her. As mentioned above, he fought Judge Judy blindfolded and won.

Stacy Cornbred
CDM's first interviewer, and without a doubt the most professional of the three. Known for her sunny outlook and for being the only interviewer that both Johnny and Nick liked. In the second season, she died of spontaneous human combustion after her voice actress left the show. She later re-appeared as a zombie, trying to take her job back from Debbie, only to be messily defeated.


 * Back From the Dead: In Halloween Episode II.
 * Came Back Wrong: Type III, but only towards Debbie Matenopolous.
 * The Chick
 * Killed Off for Real: Twice!
 * McLeaned: The reason for the above trope was because her voice actress left the show.
 * No Zombie Cannibals: Averted after being rammed through a door by Debbie.
 * Spontaneous Human Combustion: How she dies the first time.
 * Zombie Apocalypse: Tries to start one to get revenge on Debbie.

Debbie Matenopoulos
Formerly of The View, Debbie was brought in as the new interviewer after Stacy died. She was far less professional than Stacy was, often acting in a ditzy manner and asking combatants whatever came to her mind. She and Nick Diamond have an extreme dislike of one another. She defeated the zombie Stacy Cornbred in one episode. Was voiced by herself.

"Debbie: Now stay dead, bitch."
 * As Herself
 * Badass Damsel: In The Time Travel episode, she found herself in Victorian London fighting Jack The Ripper, whom Nick can understand why his confession with prostitutes and loose-women when it comes to Debbie.
 * Berserk Button: Attempt to start a Zombie Apocalypse with her around, and she'll let you have it.
 * The Ditz
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Replacement Scrappy: For Stacy Cornbred fans. She's also treated as this in-universe by Johnny.
 * Ship Tease: Often with Johnny Gomez.
 * This Is for Emphasis, Bitch: When she finishes off Stacy Cornbred's zombie.

Tally Wong
The new interviewer that was brought in when the show was Uncancelled. Although more intelligent than Debbie, Tally is every bit as unprofessional, albeit in a different manner. She is extremely self-centered, and likes to insult the celebrities and the hosts. Not surprisingly, she and Johnny Gomez quickly became enemies.

""What are you gonna do, bring back Stacy Cornbred?" -- to Johnny and Nick whenever they get mad at her for her insulting behavior"
 * Catch phrases:


 * Replacement Scrappy: Lampshaded in-universe.
 * Small Name, Big Ego

Stone Cold Steve Austin
The show's resident science, medical, and weapons expert. Has designed, among other things, Humongous Mecha and genetically-engineered monsters (made using the DNA of dead celebrities) for use on the show. Once defeated Vince McMahon in a match. Was voiced by himself. Did not return when the show was Uncancelled, which was explained in-universe by Nick saying that he was too expensive to bring back.


 * As Himself
 * Badass
 * Friend to All Children: Attacks on children just so happen to be his Berserk Button
 * Gadgeteer Genius
 * Genius Bruiser
 * Southern-Fried Genius

Marilyn Manson
The undisputed champion of Celebrity Deathmatch. He has fought and killed Charles Manson, Hanson and the Spice Girls (in a match that he wasn't even a part of), Garth Brooks, and Ricky Martin, and has performed his music on the show. He voiced himself in two of the episodes that he appeared in, and has not appeared since the show was Uncancelled.

Zatar the Alien
A green, one-eyed alien who has showed up several times to wreak havoc on the show. In his appearances, he has killed Celine Dion (after possessing her), Keith Flint, Mark Hamill and Peter Mayhew, before he was finally killed by a pissed-off Nick Diamond. A later episode showed that he was Not Quite Dead, and he blew up the Deathmatch arena with an Independence Day-style laser blast.

Marv Albert
The show's first commentator, who only appeared in the original Cartoon Sushi short and in the "Deathbowl '98" Super Bowl special. Best known for his coverage of the fight between Pamela Anderson and RuPaul, in which he did nothing but endlessly rewind a clip of Pamela's jiggling breast implants. Was voiced by himself.

Don King
Appeared in several episodes of the first season, where he would be killed as a Running Gag, only to return in the next episode. Later on, in season 2, he would partake in a genuine Deathmatch, fighting (and losing to) Donald Trump.

The Masked Man
A mysterious man in a mask who, during two Season 5 episodes, would run into the ring and start beating up whoever was winning the fight.
