Johnny Ace

Johnny Ace is a tennis superstar and competitive video game savant that is well known for both frequently winning the Kinda Funny Championship Belt, and never being in the same room as Nick Scarpino. This has lead many to speculate that Johnny Ace is actually Nick Scarpino in disguise, as part of an elaborate ruse to make it so that if he wins the Kinda Funny Championship Belt from the other members of Kinda Funny, they can't reclaim the belt by beating Nick as himself - but this is all hogwash peddled by tabloid writers.

In reality, Johnny Ace is actually a transplant from Frankfurt, Germany, who originally immigrated to America in 1997 in order to start his Hip Hop career. After this fell apart, Johnny Ace became a pharmacist, accumulating a small fortune after inventing Viagra. Determined to live up to his namesake, Johnny Ace used his money to train to become the most athletic and dexterous person to ever live, using an intensive weight training program (and a few over-the-counter supplements) to boost his body to herculean levels of physical perfection.

After being disbarred from all professional sports and gaming leagues for being too good, Johnny Ace wandered in a drunken stupor into Kinda Funny's offices, was mistaken for Nick Scarpino playing a character, and was promptly used in a Party Mode in which the crew competed against IGN in Mario Tennis Aces. Shortly thereafter, the real Nick Scarpino - who had accidentally locked himself out on the roof earlier that day after trying to eat an entire box of See's Candies in private - approached Johnny Ace, and asked that he fill in for him at live Kinda Funny events and meetups when he needed to go on Taco Bell vision quests. Johnny Ace agreed, and has served as Nick's doppelganger since.
