We had Nick after his debut as a new morning presenter at the Power 106 in Los Angeles and our photographer asked him about wearing several hats – radio, television, movies, schools, commercial ventures – and on his ability to reconcile everything.

Nick says that he has not caught a lot of ZZZ these days, but it's going to go home … because he's passionate about his work and that's it's always determined to be the best.

Enter Regis, the man with more hours on a TV screen than anyone. Nick says he's aiming for Regis's record – 17,000 hours – and that he plans to stay in front of a camera or microphone for half a century!

Nick also has eyes on something Regis has never done – pursue his doctorate at Howard University, and you must hear his motivation to read the book.
