'DOUBLE DARE' REBOOT OG HOST MARC SUMMERS WILL RETURN ... With Different Role
5/22/2018 12:40 AM PDT

http://www.tmz.com/2018/05/22/double-dare-reboot-host-marc-summers/

The new "Double Dare" reboot will feature one very familiar face -- the show's OG host, Marc Summers -- but Summers' new gig has a different job title.

Nickelodeon is bringing back the hugely successful game show this summer, and sources close to production tell us Summers was a quick hire. We're told he'll hold an Executive Producer title and will also have a role on camera. However, our sources say he won't be the show's host -- that role is going to actress Liza Koshy.

"Double Dare" first ran on Nickelodeon from 1986-1993 with Summers and then returned again in 2000 as "Double Dare 2000."

The new "Double Dare" will feature two teams facing off in obstacle courses and answering various trivia questions for cash and prizes -- just like the original version. We're told some of the OG obstacles will be back in action. The show will return June 25th.

The official announcement regarding Summers rejoining the show is expected this week.

Your Name?

Glen Zimmerman

Were you a contestant or an audience member?

I was an audience member.

Did you have to fill out an application? If so, do you remember any of the questions?

I don't remember having to fill out anything, though having been only 8 years old at the time, I'm not sure if my parents had to fill out anything or not.

Did the show require you to be a certain age to participate?

I don't think there were age restrictions on audience members, but I think you had to be at least 8 or 9 to be on the show.

Did you get to officially meet Marc Summers? If so what was he like?

I did manage to have a few words with Marc during one of the commercials. He was friendly and down to earth. Also, I don't know if this counts for anything, but I had a direct, one to one phone call with him back in 2010.

How did it feel walking into the studio for the first time? Had you been there before?

Walking into the studio was a surreal, magical experience. I had never been there before.

What is your best memory of being there?

My best memory of being there, besides talking to Marc, was watching the father from the Reilly team get his bald head almost completely covered in a white, batter-like substance, and watching Pick-It sneeze.

Do you have any behind the scenes stories you can share with us?

As only an audience member and not a contestant, I can't really say anything about what goes on behind the scenes.

Any last thoughts?

I do get a tremendous feeling of nostalgia from watching any version of this show, but most especially shows that were taped in Philly, since I've always lived only about 10 miles away from the WHYY studios.

Going back to question five, tell us about this phone call you had with Marc? How is it that you got to talk to him?

Well, I had always hoped to meet him on a more personal level than the fleeting encounter I had with him on the show, since he was one of my most favorite TV people growing up. So, anyway, back when I turned 30, my mom wanted to do something special for my birthday, and she got the idea to try to track down Marc (he was actually in the phone book, believe it or not) and have him as a surprise guest for the big party we had. Unfortunately, with him being very busy with his Food Network show at that time, he wasn't quite able to fulfill that wish, but he did call me on my birthday, and we talked for about 20 minutes. I told him how DD was still something I loved after so many years and told him that I had been to a taping of FDD in 1988, though I don't think he specifically remembered exactly who I was. I also told him about my other game show passion, The Price Is Right, and he mentioned that, back in the early and/or mid-70s, he had been a page or done some type of entry level work behind the scenes for that show.

Your Name:

Stephanie Hoffman..as a contestant my last name was Gonzales

Were you a contestant or an audience member?

Contestant

Did you have to fill out an application? If so, do you remember any of the questions?

No application, but we did go through this "interview process" along with other candidates.

Some of the questions: what President head is on the penny? How many crayons in a box of 16 count Crayola crayons (seriously that was the question). I can't remember some of the others🤔

Did the show require you to be a certain age to participate?

Yes, 13 was the age.

Did you get to officially meet Marc Summers? If so what was he like?

Just when he first came on the set when we were pre-recording. He came out and action was called, something happened during sound check and he was not happy he threw the mic and told the crew to get it together before he walks out again, kind of weird but after all was set he was happy-go lucky.

How did it feel walking into the studio for the first time? Had you been there before?

Walking into studio was a DREAM come true, actually it was amazing when they handed us the famous tees and Reeboks (I wanted the British Knights). We had never been to the set, there were 11 of us on a family vacation, and when we went through the tour they were showing some potential new obstacles and physical challenges, then that is when they finally asked and announced to everybody that was on the studio tour that they were looking for contestants to film the next day. They were going to hold tryouts the very next day, contestants had to be related because they were shooting for a Celebrity Family Double Dare segment. My cousin and I fit the criteria, so we went ahead and signed up.

What is your best memory of being there?

When they were asking us the interview questions, I remember telling my cousin that we just had to keep smiling no matter what. We had the biggest cheesiest smiles the entire time when they were asking us questions.

Do you have any behind the scenes stories you can share with us?

Apparently, they were expecting 2 celebrities for each team and they ended up asking if there was another family member that could join because they were down to only one celebrity per team, good thing my uncle came to the rescue. Another thing was that all that slime was made of applesauce that had coloring added to it, pretty much everything was edible.

Any last thoughts?

I wish there could be a Double Dare traveling tour haha, Across the state of Texas with a stop in San Antonio at my school campus where I teach.

Happy Double Dare Day

Hosted by Marc Summers, the program premiered on Nickelodeon on October 6, 1986, as its first game show.

An Autographed Pic From MARC SUMMERS!!!

Check out what FINALLY came on Saturday!!!  Now before anyone goes bonkers asking me how I got this I emailed Mr. Summers the night of the live Double Dare event that was hosted by The Splat back in July. He gave me his assistant’s email and had me get in touch with him. The gentlemen has been very busy and was only now able to send it to me. That being said, I asked him if I was allowed to give out his email address know that all of you would want an autographed photo of your own. His response was:

“They will need to send a self-addressed large envelope to me at:

Ryan Coyne

601 Walnut St

STE 1150w Box 38

Philadelphia, PA 19106”

Keep in mind that this is an standard 8 ½ by 11 photo so the postage on your envelop must accommodate for this. Also, mine was slightly bent b/c the mailman has to put it in my mailbox, if you do not want yours bend you will have to provide cardboard or something to keep it from bending and allow for that in your SASE.

***DISCLAIMER***

IF your photo is damaged or bent no one with the Classic Nickelodeon Fan Blog, the Bring Back Double Dare F/B page, the A New Beginning For Classic Nickelodeon yahoo email group, Mr. Summers or Mr. Coyne is responsible.

Double Dare Week on the Splat!

Hey Guys!

So how many of you watched the LIVED Double Dare stream over at The Splat’s f/b page the other night? I did and thought it was great. I didn’t enjoy contestants (not a fan of “All that”) but all together it was fun to watch. The challenges were great and the obstacle course felt like old times.

That being said this week The Splat television network is airing Double Dare all week! Now, I have Cable One as my provider and they cut the MTV / Nickelodeon package well over a year ago so I won’t be able to watch these but you guys can!

And to help you enjoy it even more Mr. Ben Thompson sent me an email on my “Bring back Double Dare” f/b page. He writes:
