‘Double Dare’ latest show to slip, slide back on your TV

Double Dare will return to Nickelodeon this summer, proving that while you can’t pick your friends, you also can’t pick your friend’s nose — but you can dig around inside a giant paper mache nostril in search of a flag.

Gross.

A walk down memory lane below, after you check out the teaser trailer:

After a “toss-up” physical challenge, host Marc Summers would always explain the game:

“I’m going to ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, or think the other team hasn’t got a clue, you can dare them to answer it for double the dollars. But, be careful, because they can always double dare you back for four times the amount, and then you either have to answer that question or take the physical challenge.”

Of course, the BEST part of the show was the obstacle course that waited for you at the end of every show.  And at the end of every show, I pitied the poor people who had to clean up that trashed set.
