After seeing Marc Summers' new Off-Broadway show, The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers, I am so honored to have been granted the opportunity to speak with him for My Entertainment Idols, a special series on my podcast Baring It All with Call Me Adam.
In this interview, Marc is Baring It All with Call Me Adam about:
- What he learned about himself from performing The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers
- How Marc allows himself to get messy without reverting back to old habits
- What is something Marc has done post cancer that he wouldn't have done prior to his diagnosis
- Who are some of Marc's Entertainment Idols
- We bring Double Dare into 2024
- So much more
I grew up watching Marc as the host of Nickelodeon's Double Dare, and have been a fan ever since. I always wanted to be on Double Dare & I finally got to live out that childhood dream, when I got to go up on stage at Marc's one man show, during the game show segment.
Wait until you hear the Behind-The-Curtain story I tell Marc during this interview about that moment in his show!
The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers plays at New World Stages in NYC through June 2, 2024.
