SAN DIEGO (AP) – For one night only, Marc Summers returned to the podium to host “Double Dare.”

The kids’ game show was celebrated Friday night during a raucous invite-only Comic-Con event that revived the super sloppy Nickelodeon series to commemorate its 30th anniversary.

“The fans of this show are so passionate, it seemed like the best way to honor that passion was to bring it back,” Summers said. “What better place to do that than at Comic-Con?”

The messy affair, which was streamed live on Facebook, featured adult fans – including this reporter – and cast members from the Nickelodeon kids’ sketch series “All That” serving as contestants. The red and blue teams answered trivia questions, competed in physical challenges and took on an obstacle course.

“It feels like no time has passed and my maturity level remains the same,” said “All That” cast member Lori Beth Denberg.
