Bobby Fonta Dance Contests Highlight Video

Celebrity Deathmatch started on MTV's Cartoon Sushi as a short that featured serial killer Charles Manson and shock rocker Marilyn Manson fighting to the death. Deathmatch was brought back in 1998 for MTV's Super Bowl XXXII halftime special, which became the highest-rated special in the history of MTV.[citation needed] Just three months later, Celebrity Deathmatch had entered MTV's main lineup. The show was popular enough for show creator Eric Fogel to be named one of the most creative people in the TV industry by Entertainment Weekly.

During the next four seasons, Celebrity Deathmatch became more popular in other countries and gained viewers from all over the world, but four seasons and 75 episodes later in 2002, MTV decided to cancel the show.


[edit] Revival
New episodes of the show, which began production in 2005, are being produced by Cuppa Coffee Studio as opposed to MTV's now-defunct animation department. The show now features an all-new voice cast and a new look. Johnny, Nick, and Mills Lane have all returned, though all with new voices. Mills Lane, who used to be played by himself, is now played by Chris Edgerly due to the real Mills Lane's 2002 stroke. Debbie Matenopoulos has been replaced by Tally Wong. Eric Fogel chose not to get very involved with the new seasons due to his involvement on his new show Starveillance for the E! network. The show is currently directed by Jack Fletcher and Dave "Canadian" Thomas.

Clips of the new Celebrity Deathmatch are available at Cuppa Coffee Animation's official web site at Cuppacoffee.com, as well as at MTV2.com.

It can be seen that some of the audience members are celebrities used in the older seasons of Celebrity Deathmatch. In one fight, one can see in the audience Haley Joel Osment from his fight against Macaulay Culkin. Celebrities who were shown in previous episodes include Bono, Bruce Willis, Robert De Niro , James Gandolfini, Charlie Sheen, Demi Moore, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake, Rodney Dangerfield, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Sean Penn, Ricky Martin, Pamela Anderson, Tommy Lee, Johnny Knoxville, Lil' Kim and Anna Kournikova, Axl Rose, Slash

During the 2006 season, fans were able to vote on MTV2.com for future matches by choosing one of three matches and by sending a write-in request.
