They were regulars on Esti Showder Fabry Sandorral on RTL Klub, then fronted Bananhej, avagy tulelni Bagi-Nacsat and Mediacapa on TV2, BagiNacsa on ATV, and Szalka, avagy Bagi es Nacsa megakad a torkan on M1. Duna later gave the pair Bagi-Nacsa Orfeuma.

Outside the duo he writes alone, with novels and poetry collections that include Egy zsugorodas tortenete and Csak szeretet legyen! The Karinthy Ring, listed among his awards, was given to him jointly with Nacsa.
