Season 5: Episode 2: Marc Summers Interview - Getting Messy with Double Dare Host - My Entertainment Idols Series

Baring It All with Call Me Adam

After seeing Marc Summers' new Off-Broadway show, The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers, I am so honored to have been granted the opportunity to speak with him for My Entertainment Idols, a special series on my podcast Baring It All with Call Me Adam.

In this interview, Marc is Baring It All with Call Me Adam about:

• What he learned about himself from performing The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers
• How Marc allows himself to get messy without reverting back to old habits
• What is something Marc has done post cancer that he wouldn't have done prior to his diagnosis
• Who are some of Marc's Entertainment Idols
• We bring Double Dare into 2024
• So much more

I grew up watching Marc as the host of Nickelodeon's Double Dare, and have been a fan ever since. I always wanted to be on Double Dare & I finally got to live out that childhood dream, when I got to go up on stage at Marc's one man show, during the game show segment.

Wait until you hear the Behind-The-Curtain story I tell Marc during this interview about that moment in his show!

The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers plays at New World Stages in NYC through June 2.

More on Marc Summers:

With one of the most diverse and eclectic careers in the entertainment industry, Marc is probably best known for putting Nickelodeon on the map as the host of Double Dare. He also hosted What Would You Do? as well as the first live special on Nickelodeon launching the Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Marc has hosted two talk shows on Lifetime, History IQ on The History Channel, as well as Unwrapped, one of the longest-running shows on Food Network. He was the original host of Next Food Network Star when Guy Fieri won, and he has also covered many news stories while appearing as a regular on ABC’s Home Show.

Marc was the Executive Producer of both Dinner Impossible and Restaurant Impossible, as well as a shark special on Discovery. He is also a frequent guest on Guy’s Grocery Games and has been in several episodes of Diners, Drive-Ins, And Dives.

Marc has appeared on OPRAH three times, with Howard Stern twice, and in a classic episode of The Tonight Show with guest Burt Reynolds. Google it – It is all spontaneous!
