Marc Summers, an ex-host on Nickelodeon recently revealed that he was also part of the Quiet on Set docuseries, but left the interview in between and declined to continue because he was unaware of the intentions behind the interview.
For those unversed, the docuseries aimed to highlight the toxic culture behind-the-scenes at the network.
“They asked me what I thought of Nick, and the first 10 to 12 seconds, from what I understand, in this documentary is me saying all these wonderful things. But they did a bait and switch on me,” he spoke out in a preview for Friday’s Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.
“They ambushed me. They never told me what this documentary was really about. And so they showed me a video of something that I couldn’t believe was on Nickelodeon. And I said, ‘Well, let’s stop the tape right here. What are we doing?’”
After he got to know that the docuseries was about sexual abuse faced by Drake Bell, he walked out.
“I left. So I got a phone call about six weeks ago saying you’re totally out of the show. And I went, ‘Great.’ Then they called me about four weeks ago and said, ‘Well, you’re in it, but you’re only in the first part of it because you talked about the positive stuff of Nickelodeon.’”
Moreover, Marc talked about the unprofessional behavior of the docuseries makers saying, “What they didn’t tell me — and they lied to me about — was the fact that they put in that other thing where they had the camera on me when they ambushed me. And so, now we get into a whole situation about who’s unethical.”
The former Double Dare host said he never met Dan Schneider because his show ended before Dan started working at Nickelodeon, “Those people came in after and took over our studios. I never met the man, I have no idea about any of those things.”
He went on to say, “I mean, I know Kenan [Thompson] from Kenan and Kel, because we’ve done stuff together. But as far as anything that happened on that show with any of those people, I never met any of them. I didn’t know anybody. But it made it seem like I knew those people.”
For those unversed, Marc Summer hosted the popular game show Double Dare on Nickelodeon from 1986 to 1993. Then in 2018 he again hosted the show's remake.
