Composer and producer Rick Witkowski made a name for himself in the 1990s as a music and jingle writer for Nickelodeon. Most famously, he wrote the theme song for Nickelodeon's action-packed sports game show GUTS. But that's just scratching the surface. Witkowski also composed music for Nickelodeon shows, such as The Big Help, Kids' Choice Awards, Figure It Out, Double Dare 2000, Action League Now!, as well as music for Nick at Nite. In other words, he made a lasting contribution to our '90s childhoods. Check out Great Big Story's fantastic interview with Witkowski below!:
