Nickelodeon Host Marc Summers Walked Out of ‘Quiet on Set’ Interview, Says Doc Pulled a ‘Bait and Switch’ on Him: ‘They Lied to Me’


Nickelodeon host Marc Summers claims that the 'Quiet on Set' team pulled a "bait and switch" on him.

Marc Summers is speaking out about his experience being interviewed for ID’s “ Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV ” documentary. Summers, who hosted “Double Dare” from 1986 to 1993, said that when they told him what they were actually making the documentary about — detailing Dan Schneider’s behavior and Brian Peck’s sexual assault of Drake Bell — he walked out. In the doc, Summers can be seen watching a clip on his phone, asking, “Did that air on Nickelodeon?” The documentary reveals multiple suggestive scenes from “Zoey 101,” “Sam & Cat,” “Victorious” and other series run by Schnieder.
