From Dallas Observer:

Double Dare’s Marc Summers Never Gets Tired of Hearing That He Made Your Childhood Awesome

When people see game show host and television producer Marc Summers outside of their TVs or childhood memories, he says he loves it when they come up to him, politely introduce themselves and tell him that they grew up watching him host Nickelodeon's messy kids' game show Double Dare.

"I get that every day and I love it," Summers says. "Because people grew up with it, the show had a huge influence on so many people and I find it amazing and fantastic."

Double Dare is more than 30 years old, and it's been part of the regular childhood TV diet of several generations of kids. Its multiple spinoffs, like the syndicated Super Sloppy Double Dare and Fox's prime-time version Family Double Dare and the reruns, aired long after the show's final episode. Last year, Nickelodeon brought the show back with Summers and YouTube comedy star turned TV host Liza Koshy for a whole new generation of kids and their parents who fondly remember rooting for contestants as they tried to find a flag in a giant pair of nostrils filled with neon green snot or run up the chocolate-covered slope to get to the bottom of the Sundae Slide.

The show has become such a big hit again that Nickelodeon launched a Double Dare Live tour just like the ones in the ’80s and ’90s. Summers and the game show's sets, props and obstacles are roaming all over the country to give kids and their parents a chance to win cash and prizes in their hometown. Summers' show will be in DFW on Saturday at The Theatre at Grand Prairie.

Summers says he's been trying to get Double Dare back on Nickelodeon for years. However, the tone of the network's non-animated shows shifted from rebellious kid fare like The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Clarissa Explains It All and You Can't Do That on Television to bubblegum pop comedies like iCarly, Big Time Rush and (cue shivers) Fred: The Show.

"I'd been trying to bring it back for 10 years and Nickelodeon wasn't budging on it," Summers says. "Then I saw they started thinking about picking up old shows like Blue's Clues and Clarissa and I just texted the management saying, 'Am I getting the next phone call?' And a few days later, I got an email saying, 'Give us a call.'"

Double Dare first appeared on TV schedules in 1986, starting a 10-year run that lasted long beyond its final episode in reruns. The show also helped bring the first big wave of watchers to Nickelodeon.

Summers, an Indiana native, had worked in Los Angeles as an actor, stand-up comedian and magician since the late 1970s before the network hired him to host the game show that pitted two teams of kids in a 30-minute game of trivia dares and messy physical challenges. Summers' smiling and sportive emcee style, splashy sport jackets and show-starting shouts of "On your mark, get set, go!" made him a perfect fit for the food-flinging game show that still bills itself as the messiest on television. Double Dare became one of the network's first certified hits right out of the starting gate.

"Back in the day when Nickelodeon was putting things together, they did a lot of research and found out that kids didn't have their own game show," Summers says. "They were living vicariously through their parents who were watching The Price is Right. So they decided that kids were already playing Truth or Dare on the playground back in the day and they added the mess and an obstacle course and it turned into what it turned into. Cable was in its infancy and Nick needed something to shout out big, 'Come and watch us!'"

“Cable was in its infancy and Nickelodeon needed something to shout out big, ‘Come and watch us!’ ” — Marc Summers

Double Dare also made Summers an emcee TV star. He scored guest appearances across cable TV and the networks on other game shows, hosted his own talk shows and made guest appearances on late night talk shows.

His infamous appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno next to a notably cranky Burt Reynolds led to a series of verbal jabs about the late movie star's recent divorce and Summers' career before they poured mugs of water on each other and ended the bizarre segment with a pie fight and a hug.

The show's wild success prompted the first live tour to theaters where kids could get up on stage and make a mess for cash and prizes. However, the prizes they offered on the live tour weren't all that impressive, something Summers says he remarked on into his microphone at one of the live shows at which the sponsor was sitting in the audience.

"We would give away trips to Space Camp and on Fox, we were giving away cars and trips to Europe so I would say, 'If you get through obstacle No. 1, you get a box of Blow Pops and if you get through obstacle No. 2, we'll give you tickets to a movie.' And there was a sponsor that I can't name right now but it was a national sponsor who was in the audience and they didn't tell me," Summers says. "I said they would win a $10 gift certificate to this place and I looked down at the audience because I saw the Nickelodeon executives were there and I said, 'Come on, we can do better than this,' and they freaked out."

Summers says he's sure every contestant will be happy with the prizes on his current tour.

"Now we're giving away cash," he says. "People always like money."

The show also gave Summers a long-lasting television career in front of the camera as a host of shows like the long-running food documentary series Unwrapped on the Food Network and behind the camera as a producer on reality shows like Dinner: Impossible and Restaurant: Impossible. He also appears in an upcoming nature documentary series for the Discovery Channel. Summers says his son and daughter have also followed his footsteps into the TV business as a TV producer and editor, respectively.

"I'll be 68 in November, and I always feel like I've never worked a day in my life," Summers says. "I'll keep going and people seem to keep coming and I guess they'll tell me when it's time to stop."

“I'll be 68 in November, and I always feel like I've never worked a day in my life.” — Marc Summers

Nickelodeon celebrated Double Dare's 30th anniversary in 2016 and brought Summers, announcer John Harvey and co-host and production assistant Robin Russo back together for a reunion special. Nickelodeon's new management started to commission reboots of some of the show's most memorable programs, like the sitcom Clarissa Explains It All starring Melissa Joan Hart and All That, which launched the TV comedy career of Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson, who is an executive producer of the kids' sketch show revival, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

A new Double Dare launched in 2018 that looks and sounds just like the original show, with a theme song that pumps out guitar riffs like a semi-auto confetti cannon and a loud, color-clashing set that the fashion conscious called "cool" in the '80s. Summers says the show reaches two audiences at once now with the lively Koshy as its new host for the YouTube generation and Summers as her co-host for the adults who grew up watching him.

"It was very smart because Liza has 15 or 20 million viewers through YouTube and there's a whole generation who don't know who she is but know who I am and vice versa," Summers says. "She's very open and sweet about taking direction, and very respectful. We’re actually really good friends. She comes to me for advice and it's worked out quite well. Not anybody can just walk in and do a game show even after being trained. It ain’t that easy, but she's incredibly bright and very funny and she picked it up in a nanosecond."

The live tour that was spawned by the show's most recent success picks both kids and adults in the crowd as contestants. Summers says each live show gives him an even more unique opportunity to see how Double Dare has grown over the last 33 years.

"When we raise the curtain and they see the set for the first time, we get a huge scream and people go crazy. And then we reveal the next curtain and the obstacle course comes out," Summers says. "The thing I love about it is even though we're only bringing 60 to 70 people up, everyone walks out feeling good and feeling participatory and involved. It's fascinating."

The tour also gives Summers a chance to meet fans who now span two generations of TV watchers, he says.

"A lot of times, there will be four grown-ups and I'll say, 'Where are the kids?' and they say, 'Oh heck, we left them at home,'" Summers says. "They all have stories about how we built an obstacle course in the living room and how Mom sent me to my room for a week. Everyone has a story and it's fascinating. I'm learning on this tour the impact of this show, and it's truly fascinating to me.

"People will say, 'Oh you probably don't want to hear this.' I do want to hear it. The fact that anybody remembers is great."

FRANK IERO SHOWS NO MERCY ON NICKELODEON’S ‘DOUBLE DARE LIVE’

He really went after the challenge.

Frank Iero appeared on Nickelodeon’s Double Dare Live to take part in a physical challenge involving quite a lot.

The challenge involved passing balloons on plungers, and Iero ended up beating two strangers.

Before the actual event started, he talked to host Marc Summers about the strange resemblance he has to one of his family members.

“Everybody used to say that you look just like my dad,” he said, adding that they’re both handsome.

Then, he faced off against his two opponents. He shared a video of his win on Instagram, and you can hear his two children cheering him on from the stands.

“Sometimes you have to wait 30 years but your dream finally comes true ….and you get to destroy two young strangers on a Double Dare physical challenge in front of a live studio audience. (while your kids cheer you on!),” he wrote in the caption.

Check out the video below.

Earlier this year, Pete Wentz made a guest appearance on Double Dare and really got slimed.

The game show originally aired from 1986 to 1993. It has been revived twice, once in 2000 and again last year with a second season airing this month.

Glittering Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa has kicked off her first tour with a bang. On Sunday, May 19, 2019 — which was also Siwa’s 16th birthday — she opened D.R.E.A.M. The Tour with a sold-out live show in Phoenix, Arizona that drew nearly 5,000 to the city’s Microsoft Theater.


The kidfluencer, who has 9.7 million subscribers on YouTube and 8.3 million followers on Instagram, took to social media this morning to share her excitement.

“WOW! What a unreal night. ❤️ Opening night of D.R.E.A.M. The tour was a literal DREAM come true. I can’t explain how I feel after tonight, it’s so rewarding getting to do what I love in front of thousands of people! 🎉 To the 4800 tonight in Phoenix, AZ… thank you for a incredible night! And to the over 100 people on the D.R.E.AM. Nation CREW thank you for a incredible tour,” JoJo wrote.

She continued, “Everyone has worked so hard to help me make my dream happen, and it 100% did! 💛 To Everyone at Nickelodeon, AEG, My Dancers, My choreographer, My Friends, My family, I love you guys. Thank you for supporting me while I live my D.R.E.A.M.!! Here is to a incredible 128 Days with some AMAZING people, all my tour family! Goodnight everyone ! 🌈 JoJo”

A post shared by JoJo Siwa (@itsjojosiwa) on May 18, 2019 at 12:04am PDT

She added, “Everyone has worked so hard to help me make my dream happen, and it 100% did!”

D.R.E.A.M. The Tour, presented by Party City and produced by Nickelodeon and AEG Presents, celebrates the release of Siwa’s first EP (also named D.R.E.A.M.). Over the next four months, she’ll visit more than 70 U.S. cities, concluding Tuesday, September 17, 2019 in Grand Prairie, Texas. The tour was originally meant to visit only 22 cities, but following fan demand, Nickelodeon expanded it in December, and then again in April.

Siwa’s birthday special, JoJo’s D.R.E.A.M. Birthday, premiered on Nickelodeon USA on Saturday, May 18, 2019. During the special, she surprise-dropped a new music video for her song “Worldwide Party” on YouTube. JoJo’s D.R.E.A.M. Birthday is currently rolling out onto Nickelodeon channels worldwide.



Nickelodeon signed Siwa to a talent deal in 2017, following a licensing deal in 2016. Her D.R.E.A.M. EP and tour are both part of the entertainment giant’s plan to build up a stable of influencers and take them into ventures outside of television.

“These songs aren’t born out of a specific show, as iCarly or Victorious were,” Doug Cohn, Nickelodeon’s Senior Vice President (SVP) of music, said when D.R.E.A.M. dropped last November. “Rather they appear on all of our various platforms in a multitude of ways — both audio and visual. The landscape is changing, and Nickelodeon is changing with it.”

Fans can purchase tickets for Siwa’s tour at https://www.jojodreamtour.com/index-2.php.

Congratulations on an amazing first night JoJo!

Ariana Grande’s Rendition Of A Classic ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ Song Is Surprisingly Heartfelt


Ariana Grande took to her Instagram on Sunday (May 19) to share a Sponge-Tastic video of herself taking it back to her Nickelodeon roots. The musician performed a short cover of "This Grill is Not A Home" -- a dramatic and heart-wrenching duet between SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs from the 2002 episode "Welcome to the Chum Bucket" -- showcasing her stunning vocals.

In the episode, Mr. Krabs lost SpongeBob to Plankton in a game of cards, so SpongeBob was forced to work at the Chum Bucket. During the episode, SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs sing the duet, which is actually a pretty emotional song that features lyrics like, “But this grill is not a home / This is not the stove I know / I would trade it all away / If you’d come back to stay.”

"This kitchen's not the same without you," the former Nickelodeon star (Victorious, Sam & Cat) belts at the top of her lungs. "It's just a greasy spoon," she continues to sing. Grande didn’t sing the whole thing start to finish in her Instagram video, but belted out some lyrics between bouts of laughter, showing that even when she’s goofing around, there’s no turning that voice off.

Her love for SpongeBob is well documented, and lately, she’s been putting her powerhouse vocals to use by singing some of the show’s iconic music. Last month, she was caught singing the “Krusty Krab Pizza” song.

It seems as though Grande is a huge SpongeBob music fan, as just last month, she was caught in a video singing the "Krusty Krab Pizza" song.

Check out Ariana Grande singing SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs' duet, as well as the original, below.

There are six toys available in Alpha's Masterpiece Meme Collection line. Each one is 8″ and has an MSRP of about $21, and are available via Amazon right now.

Toys in the Masterpiece Meme Collection are:

- SpongeGar
- Imaaaaaaagination SpongeBob
- Surprised Patrick
- Handsome Squidward (open eyes)
- Handsome Squidward (closed eyes)
- Mocking SpongeBob


On a related note, Funko unveiled some new SpongeBob SquarePants Pop figures at London Toy Fair earlier this year, and they will be shipping very soon. The wave includes an Imaginaaation SpongeBob figure, so it would seem that Funko was on the cusp of meme figure collection greatness but got beat to the punch.

The rest of the new SpongeBob SquarePants Funko Pop releases includes a hammer-wielding Patrick and a ballerina Squidward. You can pre-order them all right here with shipping slated for June. Inside that link you'll also find a Pineapple Pop Movie Moments figure and a new lineup of SpongeBob SquarePants pen toppers. The official description for the wave reads:

“Are ‘ya ready, kids? Aye, aye captain! … Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants!” Patrick might not always be the brightest bulb in the fish tank but you’ll never find a more loyal or warm-hearted friend. This Pop! Patrick wearing his classic board shorts is wielding a hammer and is sporting some unusual headgear. The normally surly Squidward Tentacles leaps and prances with joy as a Pop! ballerina. And Pop! SpongeBob has manifested a rainbow, surprising absolutely no one ​given his cheerful disposition.

As far as exclusives are concerned, look for SpongeBob in a band outfit at Hot Topic, and a 10-inch SpongeBob at Target in the May/June timeframe.

Update (5/20) - From Long Island Weekly:

Toy Company Alpha Group Talks New SpongeBob Products For 20th Anniversary

He lives in a pinneapple under the sea all while being absorbent, yellow and porous, and is now making his way to toy shelves in honor of his 20th anniversary on Nickelodeon. Spongebob Squarepants has emerged as a global pop culture phenomenon since first premiering on the network in July 1999 and has been the most-watched animated program for more than 17 consecutive years that has been seen in more than 208 countries and translated in more than 55 languages.

All thanks to Alpha Group US, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpha—one of the leading animation and toy companies in China, fans of all ages can now bring home some awesome collectibles and toys from Spongebob CulturePants vinyl figures to Slimeez with Nickelodeon Slime to Exsqueeze Me Plush toys and much more.

“It’s been a brand that has been around for so long since it’s now in its 20th year,” said Kim Morris, who is the senior director of global marketing at Alpha Group. “It’s a powerhouse and pop culture brand, and it has an incredible following. Also it’s all about story and that story has been told for so long. The show is on every single day on Nickelodeon. It’s also multigenerational, which is pretty cool. So we were interested in the brand for that reason.”


Plus, the timing was just right for Alpha Group to take on the Spongebob brand due to the 20th anniversary and the feature movie that is coming out in May of next year.

“From the perspective of tapping into the brand, it was just a monumental time to push it from all angles and we could compliment it with new and exciting ways through our toy designs,” said Amrtiz Lay, who is the senior marketing manager for Alpha Group.

One of the exciting new products to hit shelves is the 8-inch Masterpiece Memes figures that bring to live fan-favorite show and movie moments that have become some of the most popular viral memes. Some of the figures that fans can buy are Mocking Spongebob, Imaginaaation Spongebob, Spongeegar and Surprised Patrick among others.

“The fans themselves have Spongebob in their lives every day through these memes,” explained Lay. “So it made it really easy for us to just pick and choose from the top used meme. There’s a built in audience and there’s a hunger for them. We’re super excited about the reception that they received.”


When Alpha Group got the license to make the toys, one of the things the toy company wanted to do was to get out of Bikini Bottom, the home of where Spongebob and all his nautical friends reside, and do something that hasn’t been done before.

“We have a multi-tier strategy in our product development,” said Morris. “We have one that’s very focused on kids and one that is very focused on the collectors and the fans, and in the social digital age it allows us to go after those fans.”

Also for the first time ever, Spongebob and the iconic green Nickelodeon slime come together in Alpha Group’s new Spongebob Slimeez figures.

“Through our Slimeez products, it’s the first time that Spongebob is partnered with official Nickelodeon slime,” said Lay. “It’s a great way to take it on the go. It comes in a blind bag so they don’t really know what they’re getting and there’s a play pattern that is all the hype right now. It’s a great assortment of all the key characters of the ‘Krusty’ crew.”


Lay also mentioned how the toy company’s plush character toys have been a popular item to buy including the Exsqueeze Me interactive plush that burps and farts that feature both Spongebob and Patrick. The company is also excited about the Giggle Blaster that is launching this fall.

“The Giggle Blaster has party string and you just insert any party string in there and when you pull the trigger it shoots the party string about 15 feet,” said Morris. “When you trigger it, it makes all these different sounds and phrases from Spongebob. So even when you run out of the string, you still have a lot of play value. It’s been really well received.”

This fall, Alpha Group is also putting out a large scale Spongebob plush that will have a 20th anniversary logo sewn onto his back. The commemorative plush will also tell jokes when you pull Spongebob’s tie.

“For both of those products [the Giggle Blaster and the Spongebob commemorative plush], we recorded with Tom Kenny, so they’re all fresh recordings and deliveries especially the Giggle Blaster,” said Lay.

Some of Lay’s favorite Spongebob products include the Masterpiece Memes and CulturePants figures.

“CulturePants are $9.99 vinyls that are on a smaller scale,” said Lay. “They’re super detailed and some of them are completely brand new and that’s cool because when you talk about why Alpha was excited to become the master toy license is because we had these liberties and this trust with Nickelodeon to explore these new designs. So if you look at our old-timey CulturePants [figures], these are never seen before and that’s really fun to see the development process. They super affordable to collect.”

Spongeheads also make Lay’s list of all-time favorite Spongebob products.

“They’re these inflatable heads of the characters,” said Lay. “They’re just funny, I don’t know what it is. They’re zany. I don’t know how to classify them, but kids will enjoy them and college kids can enjoy them. It’s great for Halloween too.”

“Another thing that I would add is that I think when we did the line, our designer on the brand who is a huge fan of Spongebob and knows every episode so intimately,” said Morris. “What’s important to know is that we have [something] for everyone in the line, so if you’re a kid and you just want basic Spongebob that’s fine, but if you’re somebody who really knows the show, you can buy these CulturePants [figures], you’ll get a particular episodic moment of that figure you love. There’s just a really nice broad array of options for someone who wants a basic character or one who really wants something more nostalgic. We’re really excited about it.”

Fans of SpongeBob can purchase these brand new toys at Target, Amazon, Walmart.com, and Hot Topic.

A post shared by hipointedrivein (@hipointedrivein) on Apr 8, 2019 at 5:16pm PDT

Fans of Nickelodeon Movies' cult classic Good Burger film should look away now!


A fan of ’90s nostalgia contacted Jalopnik earlier this week to share a vague Facebook Marketplace ad for a 1975 AMC Pacer described simply as “Good Burger mobile from Nickelodeon's 1997 movie Good Burger” [sic] and yeah, there’s really no mistaking this particular Pacer despite the fact that it looks like it’s been sitting in an oceanside parking lot since the movie came out.


Released in 1997, Good Burger was based on a sketch from All That, Nickelodeon's Saturday Night Live for kids. In the movie, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell star as Dexter and Ed, who kids who work at a homely burger joint called Good Burger and end up in some kind of battle with a flashy new burger establishment across the road.


The movie also starred Sinbad, as well as the iconic AMC Pacer with a giant burger mounted on its hood, known as the (what else?) Burgermobile.


Sadly, the Burgermobile has seen better days. Although its hamburger is still (barely) intact, the pickle hubcaps are missing.


It's currently unknown whether this is the official Good Burger Mobile. And if so, is it screen used or made for promotional uses. The International Hamburger Hall of Fame and the Hamburger Museum say they have bought the car in a effort to save it from the scrap yard, however, movie companies sometimes make multiple versions of cars for use in production as well as for promotions.


The Burgermobile is for sale in Florida now for a cool $10,000 USD. Then Jalopnik replied to the ad and got a little background from Karl, who’s selling the car–apparently his dad “bought it off someone who I think won it in a contest after the movie release” approximately 12 years ago. As you can tell from the pictures, it hasn’t moved a whole lot since then.

Looks like a pretty gnarly restoration project, but then again, ’90s nostalgia is so strong right now that I bet somebody will step up to take this on. How hard can it be to find Pacer parts?

Sadly, its a fate far too common with classic movie cars. The iconic Ecto 1 from Ghostbusters was also left to rot, until it was restored to promote Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

Did you hear? All That is coming back, with a brand-new series executive produced by OG cast members Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell! See the following link for more info!: http://po.st/AllThatRevival

Update (5/20) - From KMOV:

Famous Burger Mobile from 90s film 'Good Burger' could be spotted on St. Louis streets this August

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Welcome to Hi-Pointe Drive-In, home of smashed-thin burgers, Can I take your order?

The iconic drive-in is bringing a blast from the 90's past to the St. Louis area. The famous Burger Mobile featured in the 1997's Nickelodeon film Good Burger will soon have a new home, thanks to the Hi-Pointe Drive-In.

Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson and actor Kel Mitchell drove the 1975 AMC Pacer, which had a hamburger on its hood, to deliver the burgers in the movie.

Fast forward 22 years, the car is now covered in rust and has been purchased by the owners of the drive-in.

Mike Johnson, the owner of the drive-in, said the car was purchased for $6,000 and had to be towed to St. Louis from Daytona Beach. The car is currently undergoing around $20,000 worth of work.

“People these days want to have an Instagramable picture, so we'll keep it open and let people open it and sit in it to take pictures and stuff. Hopefully there will be less glass in the seats,” Johnson said.

The restaurant took to Facebook in early April to have loyal customers guess the name of the movie for a $50 gift card but it unknown when and where the car will be on display.

According to Johnson, the 'Burger Mobile' should be spotted on St. Louis-area streets in August.

Magic and mischief await in the whimsical world of Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty (RBUK), premiering on Nickelodeon Iberia on Monday 3rd June 2019 at 18:30 on Nickelodeon Portugal and at 19:30 on Nickelodeon Spain (España)! Following launch, fans can catch more all new episodes of RBUK weekdays at 18:30 on Nick Portugal and at 19:30 on Nick España.

Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty is locally titled La gata mariposa unicornio arcoíris in Spain and Gatinha Arco-Íris Borboleta Unicórnio in Portugal.

Created and produced by California-based toy and entertainment company Funrise, Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty follows the comedic adventures of a spirited and adorable kitty named Felicity who possesses special transformative powers.

Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty centers around a spirited and adorable kitty named Felicity who acquires magical and majestic powers. Part rainbow, part butterfly, part unicorn and 100 percent kitty, Felicity has transformative powers where she can lasso items in the form of a full-fledged rainbow, shoot glow sticks from her paws, fire lasers from her unicorn horn, stretch and snap in rainbow mode, and clap thunderously with her butterfly wings. Together with her best friend Miguel, an energetic dog, she’s ready to take on every challenge that comes with living in the magical mashup world of Mythlandia, which is inhabited by fairy tale creatures, wizards, giants, dragons and more.


In the series premiere of Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty, “Purrfect Party/Anubis Newbie,” Felicity worries that her powers won't measure up at a party for the most powerful and popular citizens in Mythlandia. Also in the episode, an ancient Anubis king tests Miguel to see if he's ready to leave Mythlandia and become the next ruler of the underworld.

Nickelodeon has acquired the global rights to Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty. The series made its Nickelodeon debut on Nick USA on Sunday 27th January 2019. Following its U.S. launch, the series will roll out on Nickelodeon’s international channels and branded blocks across 170+ countries and territories later this year.

Red Tail Productions LLC and Charlie Blum Entertainment/CB Entertainment, in partnership with Nickelodeon, have announced new Fall/Winter 2019 tour dates for Double Dare Live, a multi-city live stage tour inspired by the iconic TV game show Double Dare!

Coming off of successful fall 2018 and Spring 2019 tours, Double Dare Live– featuring original host Marc Summers and his beloved sidekick Robin Russo – will resume touring on Tuesday, October 15 in Oakland, CA and will tour North America throughout Fall and Winter 2019, playing in 15 North American cities along the way!

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, April 5 at 10:00 a.m. Fans can visit doubledarelivetour.com for a list of upcoming Double Dare Live tour cities, times and ticket information.

Inspired by the iconic TV game show Double Dare, Double Dare Live features two teams comprised of selected audience members competing to win prizes by answering brain-bending trivia questions, completing messy physical challenges, and ultimately facing the legendary obstacle course.

Attendees can register to be a contestant on Double Dare Live by completing the Official Rules and Waiver Form on doubledarelivetour.com. Participants must be 10 years or older to be eligible to be Contestants. Only persons 18 years or older can complete the Waiver Form; a parent or legal guardian 18 years or older must complete the Official Rules and Waiver Form for children under 18 years of age. When you’ve read, completed and signed the Waiver Form, hit ‘Submit’ and it will be entered into the database for each city. When you arrive at the venue, go to the Registration Table to verify that you’ve completed Official Rules and Waiver form, and present a valid photo ID and you and any family members that you registered will be given wrist bands which indicate to the show’s host that you are eligible to be a contestant on stage. Please wear athletic shoes if you hope to be called on stage.

Fans can also upgrade their tickets to the DD VIP Experience, featuring premium show seating, a pre-show meet & greet photo opportunity with Marc Summers and Robin Russo, and an official Double Dare Live tour laminate souvenir. There are a limited number of DD VIP Experience tickets which must be purchased in advance. They are designated as ‘VIP Tickets’ in each city’s ticketing system. Purchasers should plan to arrive at the theatre approximately 90 minutes in advance of the show start time. (Check for exact details when you purchase tickets, since timing changes slightly from city to city.) Each adult and child in a group must have a DD VIP Ticket. Go to the check-in table and pick up your DD VIP laminate. Patrons will be directed to the meet & greet which ends approximately 30 minutes prior to show start time. Latecomers risk missing the opportunity.

The highly anticipated return of the Double Dare series premiered in the summer of 2018 on Nickelodeon and ranked as the year’s No. 1 new kids show with kids 6-11, while retaining the core adult audience who grew up with the original television show. The new Double Dare is hosted by digital creator and actress Liza Koshy, with original host Marc Summers providing color commentary on the challenges and lending his vast knowledge of the game and expertise to each episode. Season two is currently airing on Nickelodeon.


“Hosting the Double Dare Live tour couldn’t be any more exciting, and I look forward to continuing to bring the fun and messiness of ‘Double Dare’ to audiences across the country,” Summers said. “Doing the show again with my sidekick Robin will fulfill childhood dreams of the generation that grew up with us and introduce this classic show to the next generation.”

The multi-award winning SpongeBob SquarePants Musical will be touring theatres across the U.S. during the 2019-2020 theatre season.

Inspired by Nickelodeon's hit animated series of the same name, SpongeBob SquarePants explodes with energy and features an original pop and rock-infused score by a legendary roster of Grammy® Award-winning songwriters. Led and conceived by visionary director Tina Landau (2018 Tony Award nominee) and a Tony Award®-winning design team, the production brings the spirit of SpongeBob to life with humanity, heart, and pure theatricality.

SpongeBob SquarePants is a one-of-a-kind musical event with original songs by Yolanda Adams, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Jonathan Coulton, Alexander Ebert of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, The Flaming Lips, Lady Antebellum, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T's, They Might Be Giants and T.I., and a song by David Bowie and by SpongeBob SquarePants voice actor Tom Kenny and Andy Paley. Additional lyrics by Jonathan Coulton. Additional music by Tom Kitt.


SpongeBob SquarePants features a book by Kyle Jarrow, music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Tom Kitt, choreography by Christopher Gattelli, musical direction by Julie McBride, colorful costumes and Tony-winning by David Zinn, projection design by Peter Nigrini, lighting design by Kevin Adams, sound design by Walter Trarbach, foley design by Mike Dobson, hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe and casting by Telsey + Company/Patrick Goodwin, CSA.

The Broadway cast for SpongeBob SquarePants included Tony Award Nominee Ethan Slater as SpongeBob SquarePants, Tony Award Nominee Gavin Lee as Squidward Q. Tentacles, Lilli Cooper and Christina Sajous as Sandy Cheeks, Brian Ray Norris as Eugene Krabs, Danny Skinner as Patrick Star and Wesley Taylor as Sheldon Plankton.

The ensemble included Brandon Espinoza, Alex Gibson, Gaelen Gilliland, Juliane Godfrey, Jordan Grubb, Kyle Matthew Hamilton, Curtis Holbrook, Jesse JP Johnson, L'ogan J'ones, Jai'len Christine Li Josey, Kelvin Moon Loh, Lauralyn Mcclelland, Vasthy Mompoint, Oneika Phillips, Catherine Ricafort, JC Schuster, Allysa Shorte, Abby C.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Musical has a running time of 2 hours 30 minutes, and features two acts (ACT I: 1 hour 15 minutes; ACT II: 1 hour) and a 15 minute intermission.

It's currently unknown whether any of the original Broadway cast will be reprising their characters for the U.S. tour of the show. However, judging from the first promotional photo release, it'll feature a new ensemble cast. The cast will be announced at a later date.


The critically acclaimed SpongeBob SquarePants musical was named Best Musical by the Drama Desk Awards and Outer Critics Circle and earned 12 Tony Award nominations - the most nominated musical of the 2017-2018 theatre season - including nods for Best Musical, director Tina Landau, book writer Kyle Jarrow, title player Ethan Slater (in his Broadway debut), and the all-star roster of songwriters (including Sara Bareilles, Cyndi Lauper, and John Legend) who contributed to the score. The production earned 12 Tony Award nominations including best musical, equaling Mean Girls for the most of any show this season, and while The Band's Visit swept the honors, SpongeBob did score a deserved win for Best Scenic Design of a Musical for David Zinn's scenic design. The show’s director, Tina Landau, earned a Tony Award nomination for her inventive and unconventional approach to the material that humanized the characters than creating literal representations of the familiar Nickelodeon cartoon.

Following a Chicago tryout during summer 2016, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical opened at Broadway's Palace Theatre during Fall 2017, where it ran for 327 regular performances and 29 previews, defying critical expectations by earning some of the warmest reviews of the season. The show closed in September 2018 to make way for refurbishments at the Palace Theatre.

While many expected a theme park-style brand extension, the show surprised theatergoers with its wild Dadaist comic sensibility, ingenious design and winning performances, notably from gifted 26-year-old newcomer Ethan Slater, making a terrific Broadway debut in the title role.

Early in 2019, school and youth group licensing rights will be available, with professional licensing to follow. A North American tour will begin fall 2019.

SpongeBob SquarePants - The New Musical Original Cast Recording is available to purchase today at https://spongebobmusical.lnk.to/SpongebobMusicalRecording.

SpongeBob SquarePants is produced by Nickelodeon with The Araca Group, Sony Music Masterworks and Kelp on the Road.

“Wonders pour from the stage in a ravishing stream of color and invention” (Time Out New York) as Broadway’s best creative minds reimagine and bring to life the beloved Nickelodeon series with humor, heart and pure theatricality in a neon-sparkly “party for the eyes and ears” (Daily Beast). Be there when SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face catastrophe—until a most unexpected hero rises to take center stage. This “creative explosion” (Broadway.com) is “nothing short of genius” says Theatermania, so bring the entire family to celebrate friendship and cooperation, and learn the power of unity and inclusion.

Get ready to enjoy the “Broadway Extravaganza” (The New Yorker) that New York Magazine calls “effervescent candy-for-the-spirit.” Explore the depths of theatrical innovation in THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL, 2018 Best Musical winner of the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards, where the power of optimism really can save the world.

SpongeBob SquarePants first debuted on Nickelodeon USA on May 1, 1999 and is still going strong.

Since its launch in July 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has emerged as a pop culture phenomenon. The series has been the most-watched animated program with kids 2-11 for more than 15 consecutive years, and over the past several years, it has averaged more than 100,000,000 total viewers every quarter across all Nickelodeon networks. SpongeBob SquarePants is the most widely distributed property in Viacom International Media Networks history, seen in more than 208 countries and territories and translated in 55+ languages. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimistic and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. Among those friends are SpongeBob's best friend, a pink starfish named Patrick Star, his neighbor and co-worker octopus Squidward Tentacles, and Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from Texas.

SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg, who previously worked as a writer, director and creative director on Nickelodeon's animated series Rocko's Modern Life. Hillenburg graduated from the California Institute of the Arts with a master's degree in experimental animation and his undergraduate degree, from Humboldt State University, was in natural science with an emphasis in marine biology. Hillenburg executive produced the series until his untimely passing in November 2018. His first feature film, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, which debuted Nov. 19, 2004 and his second theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, hit theaters Feb. 6, 2015, landing at #1 opening weekend.

SpongeBob SquarePantshas been renewed through to at least the show's twelfth season, will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2019, has its own critically acclaimed Broadway show, set to tour the U.S. from Fall 2019, and has a third upcoming movie, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, set to be released in Summer 2020. Nickelodeon also recently revealed plans to spin off the characters from SpongeBob SquarePants into their own stand-alone series, specials and feature-length movies. The series is produced at Nickelodeon in Burbank.

“It’s a pretty big deal for us and for Wichita to be able to bring ‘Spongebob’ on the first national tour. It’s exciting,” Amy Hamm, executive director of The American Theatre Guild, told The Wichita Eagle. “We’re feeling confident this is a show that audiences are going to love.”

The characters don’t wear the exact costumes of their cartoon counterparts, she said, but enough for anyone who has seen the series to know who they are.

Rather than one composer, the music for “Spongebob” was written by various pop-rock performers, including David Bowie, Plain White T’s, Panic! at the Disco, Cyndi Lauper, Flaming Lips, John Legend, Aerosmith, They Might Be Giants and Bareilles.

“It’s kind of a neat twist in addition to being a big, bright, fun show with a ton of heart,” Hamm said. “I think it will be a surprise because it has some amazing messages about friendship and teamwork. It’s an important kind of show to have now, a good show with a good message.”

“I’m excited about the lineup of shows we’re announcing for the 2019-2020 season,” said Ty Sutton, President and CEO of Victoria Theatre Association. “The Premier Health Broadway Series features two Ohio premieres, hot new titles such as ‘The Spongebob Musical,’ ‘Summer: The Donna Summer,’ and ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,’ as well as beloved revivals like ‘Cats,’ ‘Once On This Island,’ and the ‘Rent 20th Anniversary Tour.’ Plus, we have several great shows booked as part of our Projects Unlimited Star Attractions, including ‘Black Violin,’ ‘The Color Purple,’ ‘The Midtown Men: Holiday Hits Tour,’ ‘We Shall Overcome: A Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,’ ‘Drum Tao 2020’ and more to be announced later.”

"We are very excited to bring a lineup of critically acclaimed shows and family favorites to the Boch Center next season, including the Boston premiere of THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL," said Josiah A. Spaulding, President & CEO of the Boch Center. "In addition to our diverse lineup of concerts, comedy, variety and dance engagements, these shows offer something for the whole family to enjoy!"

“This Broadway Lights season is heavy on family-friendly shows, so we wanted to put ‘The SpongeBob Musical’ into the Extras series for variety,” explains Tom Gabbard, president and CEO of Charlotte, NC's Blumenthal.
