Episodes[]

In Perfect Week, Barney Stinson fantasizes of being interviewed by Nantz and tells him the story of the "perfect week". Although Jim Nantz himself plays the role, his character is a figment of Barney's imagination.

In Rabbit or Duck, he again makes a voice appearance, along with Phil Simms, whom he also mentions in Perfect Week (when he says you shouldn't open a mail from Phil Simms in front of your kids).

In Last Forever - Part Two, he appears briefly during the game of Robots vs Wrestlers after Barney completes a "perfect month".

Memorable Quotes[]

Jim Nantz: "There are two things you don't do: One, you don't open an e-mail from Phil Simms in front of your kids, and, two, you don't jinx a man going for a perfect week."
