About the Film
Who doesn't love Marc Summers? Maybe the former cleaning crew at Nickelodeon Studios Florida.
For those who somehow missed him as the host of Nickelodeon’s Double Dare and What Would You Do?, there he was again hosting Unwrapped on Food Network for more than a decade. With the rushing wave of 80s/90s nostalgia continuing to crest, it’s no wonder that Summers is still broadcasted into the living rooms, dorms, and computer/mobile screens of Americans everywhere by special guest starring on shows such as Workaholics, Robot Chicken, or Guy's Grocery Games.
Simply put, Marc Summers is the television icon of our time. Summers’ seemingly chaotic, rapid-fire lifestyle – crowded by countless celebrity friends and colleagues – drives On Your Marc, a rousing, celebrity-packed, feature-length documentary about the messiest man in show business.
Follow Marc Summers as he stars in his latest and most challenging project: an intimate, one-man theater show called Everything In Its Place: The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers.
Starting with his childhood days on early TV … to forever changing television history with some of the very first programming specifically for kids … to his challenges with his (much overhyped) OCD and overcoming five years of cancer … all while hop-skip-and-jumping across the nation to juggle his work and growing family ... we double dare you to keep up with Summers in On Your Marc.

"On Your Marc" offers a rare intimate and unpolished look at a consummate professional, particularly in how Summers coped with some truly dark moments in dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder privately and on the sets of his television series. He also discusses how he didn't publicly disclose his cancer diagnosis out of fear that it would end his career.
