• Nickelodeon 'Double Dare' Host Marc Summers Says He Was Fired for OCD

    A whole generation was raised watching Marc Summers guide young contestants through physical challenges and the green slime on Nickelodeon's "Double Dare" from 1986-92. He has built a career in the television game show industry, but there have been some serious bumps in the road. Summers has talked about the fact that he has OCD for years, and once he got himself under control then Summers decided to use his position in the public eye to help educate others. In 1997, Summers went public on "Oprah," but unfortunately not everyone was ready to be supportive. In fact, in a recent interview for "Oprah: Where Are They Now?," Summers admits that being honest about his OCD actually cost him work.
