Marc Summers

Born in Indianapolis, he paid his dues as a magician, disc jockey, comedian and studio page in Los Angeles during the 1970s. When 'Jack Barry' (qv)'s announcer fell sick on _The Joker's Wild (1972)_ (qv), 1973, Marc (then a 22-year-old page) filled in. That was his break. He began warming up audiences for network programs like _Soap (1977)_ (qv), _Star Search (1983)_ (qv) and _Alice (1976)_ (qv), gaining exposure that finally led to his "organic" misadventures on Nickelodeon's _Double Dare (1986)_ (qv) (which he hosted from 1986 to 1994) and _What Would You Do? (1991)_ (qv).::Anonymous
