I guess most of us know sentences with "what clauses" that focus on the main verb (in this case "sit"), e.g.
"What he does is sit in front of the TV".
Now, what I would like to ask you is: Can I replace "does" in the sentence above with another verb? Would the following work and sound natural? I'm well aware that the meaning is different, but that doesn't matter to me right now. All I am interested in is to know whether or not the sentence below is natural.
"What he likes is sit in front of the TV".
Thank you for your time.
