"On a recent visit to New York from his home on the central coast of California, Summers explained in an interview how, even in the heyday of "Double Dare," he bristled at being described as a kids' show host. "I used to hate that, because I was more than that," he said.
As Nickelodeon shifted its focus to animation and tween-oriented sitcoms and dramas, Summers has felt the sting of neglect from the network. "I made Nickelodeon," he said. "I'll be the first to say that, and they've never actually said that to me. I changed that network. And nobody's ever said thank you."
