Presenter, writer, producer, comedian – gun to the head moment, which one is your true love?
Depends on who’s holding the gun.If my agent then whichever makes most money. Ditto my wife. If it’s me, then presumably career on skid row

Clueless with a touch of My name is Earl and mid 80’s Neighbours.Affluent Yank in UK tries to save world. Or Newcastle at the very least.
I became a fan of the Lions after seeing Barry Sanders play – what attracted you to the Dolphins?
Impressive jerry curl mullets,mercurial Dan Marino, and an exciting, cavalier team that never looked like winning the big one.See West Ham.

One Response for "Nat Coombs"
I follow Nat (on Twitter… BEHAVE!) and really respect the work he does. You can see the hard work he puts into Chelsey:OMG!, and the way he presents NFL on Five makes it watchable for newcomers as well as ’seasoned vets’ of the sport.
With all this said, to read a bit more insight into Nat is a welcome addition to my brain of knowledge (ish) already in my head. The fact Nat really does seem as down to earth in an interview as he does on screen, and still funny. Keep up the good work dude!
