I’m refusing to look him up because I don’t want to be sad if he’s gone crazy recently. But I love Mark Summers, he just seemed like a good dude, I know that’s his job but he did it really well

I looked him up for you, and I am very happy to report he's still alive!

I think his concern was more about him being some crazed nut-job ranting and raving about weird things. 🤞🏽 Glad to hear he's still alive though.

Lol! It was really late; that makes more sense.

Went back to look for scandals, but didn't see anything other than he has OCD and does advocacy work in that area. Sounds like a good dude... Been with the same wife since 1974.

Thank you for doing the leg work! I’m very glad to hear he’s evidently a decent man

I think you kinda glossed over the OCD part. He's like Howie Mandell in that they're both germaphobes. Every time Mark Summers got slime on him, or any mess, around him, he was dying inside.

Now remember what kind of show double dare was.

Yeah....

"I could have done that Physical Challenge with ease!" Same exact confidence while watching Guts and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

I always wanted to go on the game show where they stuck the video games to themselves and tried to get out of the maze.

I could never understand how the kids couldn't figure out how to put the monkey statue together. It's only 3 parts. One is feet. One's a stomach. And ones a head. Should be pretty easy to figure out.

Yet half the time they were like "head first? Then feet? Chest on top??? Nooooooo, I lost!

Any one else immediate hear the theme music when seeing this photo?

On your marks,

Go!

Went on a binge of old kids game shows last week. This and Guts and Legends of the Hidden Temple. Great times!
