“Hosting the Double Dare Live tour couldn’t be any more exciting,
and I look forward to bringing the fun and messiness of Double Dare
to audiences across the country,” said Marc Summers. “Doing the show
again with my sidekick Robin will fulfill childhood dreams of the
generation that grew up with us and introduce this classic show to the
next generation.”
Double Dare Live will feature two teams comprised of selected
audience members competing to win prizes by answering brain-bending
trivia questions, completing messy physical challenges and ultimately
facing the legendary obstacle course.
The brand-new Double Dare series premiered this summer and ranks
in the top three shows with Kids 6-11 on all TV. The new Double Dare
TV series is hosted by digital creator and actress Liza Koshy, with
original host Marc Summers providing color commentary on the challenges
and lending his vast knowledge of the game and expertise to each episode.
Double Dare premiered on Oct. 6, 1986, on Nickelodeon, and ran
from 1986-1993, making it the network’s longest running game show. Marc
Summers served as the show’s original host from 1986-1993. Shortly after
its debut, Double Dare became one of the most popular original
daily programs on cable television. The series went into syndication in
1988, and was later revived as Super Sloppy Double Dare in 1989.
The show also ran on broadcast television as Family Double Dare
in 1988, followed by new versions on Nick, including Double Dare 2000.
