3. Super Sloppy Double Dare-Egg on My Shoe and A Song In My Heart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wraLB3jGS3I In fact, the lack of order in the previous casting notice might have especially appealed to young viewersthis 1989 episode of Double Dare, which almost immediately goes off the deep endlooks like one of the most fun for the prepubescent contestants. From the start, all host Marc Summers can talk about is his pristine white suit and its inevitable soiling. The suit, of course, is filthy by the end, but it isnt sullied at the hands of the children. Since Summers OCD often made the messy nature of this show (along with Wild and Crazy Kids) difficult to deal with, I imagine that he was less amused with his chocolate syrup-bearing colleague. Despite the hosts good nature and hilarious Lucille Ball impersonation, a little boy manages to steal the show in one word. When offered a Double Dare t-shirt by Summers, the child turns it down with a simple no. I bet he wishes hed taken the shirt now, as a memento from this classic Nickelodeon moment.
