Nickelodeon set the world of nostalgia on fire last month with the announcement that one of the greatest game shows of all time was making its return. Double Dare is coming back and fans of the show were hoping that Marc Summers would be brought back as the host. It was announced yesterday that our wishes has come true. Nickelodeon not only revealed Tuesday that actress Liza Koshy is set to take over for Marc Summers as the new host, but that Summers is returning to provide color commentary on the challenges. Koshy commented on the hire,
“This is a dream that I have been dreaming to live!” “From watching Double Dare to hosting it!? I am ready for a summer of slime and nose-picking.”
Marc Summers also commented stating,
“I can’t think of many shows like Double Dare that have the ability to bond people together — those who grew up watching the original series can now pass along their love for this game show to today’s kids. It’s an honor to be a part of this reboot.”
New episodes of Double Dare arrive on Nickelodeon on June 25 at 8 p.m. ET.
