Marc Summers, with one of the most diverse and eclectic careers in the entertainment industry, 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 Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Summers 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. Summers covered many news stories as a reporter on "ABC’s Home Show," was Executive Producer of both "Dinner Impossible" and "Restaurant Impossible," as well as a shark special on Discovery. He has guested many times on "Guy’s Grocery Games" and "Diners, Drive Ins And Dives."

Summers recently starred in the Hallmark movie "Hanukkah on The Rocks" and was performing his one man show "The Life and Slimes Of Marc Summers" for six months Off Broadway in New York City.

Summers appeared on Oprah three times, with Howard Stern twice, and in a classic episode with Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" with Burt Reynolds. Google it… it was all spontaneous!

Speech Topics


Overview

I discuss never accepting the word no! I talk about always wanting to be in the entertainment industry but not making it until age 34. I discuss starting my career as a professional magician and do a trick, followed by my days at The Comedy Store with Letterman, Leno and Robin Williams. I then discuss my dream to host tv shows, doing Double Dare and putting Nickelodeon on the map. Video footage is shown here. I then discuss 20 years at Food Network, discussing my OCD issues, and my classic appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay and Burt Reynolds. It is very positive and discussing how to overcome obstacles.
