Get Slimed By Marc Summers At BMD’s "On Your Marc" Screening Event!
Complete with live Q&As with the man himself, simulcast into Drafthouses across the country!
Marc Summers was a staple of many kids who grew up in the '80s and '90s. Host of Nickelodeon’s Double Dare and What Would You Do?, he was Bob Barker for preteens across the country, all wishing they could appear on his show, answer trivia questions, engage in crazy hijinks and (if they were lucky) get a bucket of bright green slime dumped on their heads.
Nowadays, Summers is the host of Unwrapped on the Food Network, continuing his legacy as being one of the great TV personalities in the medium’s history. Mathew Klickstein’s touching, poignant documentary On Your Marc is the story of the legendary host’s rise to fame. For those wondering “why the heck would I want to watch a doc about a game show host’s life?” the answer is fairly complex. Aside from his accomplishments in filmed entertainment, Marc Summers has battled crippling OCD – an ironic twist in the tale of a dude who was once known as “the messiest man on television.” On Your Marc takes the audience behind the scenes, and allows them to enjoy both the triumphs and tragedies of Summers’ days in the spotlight, highlighting a disorder in its naked, troubling truth.
Birth.Movies.Death. will host a special screening of On Your Marc in Austin, Texas which will be simulcast into several theaters across the United States. Always one to put on a show, Summers will be performing a Q&A, which will include a live band (featuring the original composer/performer of the Double Dare music), along with trivia for courageous audience members who could end up living out their middle school dream of getting “slimed” should their knowledge not be up to snuff.
Tickets for both the live event and the simulcast screenings can be purchased here!

To celebrate Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, Craig Bartlett, the creator of Nickelodeon's iconic '90s animated series Hey Arnold!, has shared a brand-new frame from Nickelodeon's upcoming brand-new two-part Hey Arnold! television movie in a post on his official Instagram profile page, @CraigBartlett! Check out Craig's latest super sneak-peek, featuring Arnold and Grandpa Phil, below, and let NickALive! know in the comments what you think is happening in the scene!:
Arnold and Grandpa can hardly believe that #thejunglemovie trailer drops FRIDAY at NYCC! I can't either! See you there!
Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie takes the kids on the field trip of a lifetime: action packed and full of adventure! They’ll join Arnold on a quest in which he’ll try to achieve his ultimate dream and finally find his missing parents. It all starts when Arnold and his classmates take a trip to San Lorenzo, South America, which, coincidentally, is the last place Arnold’s parents were seen! Their trip takes a turn when pirates kidnap Arnold and his friends! From there it’s one jungle hazard after another, and the gang must put their heads together to get out of danger. As the leader of the journey, Arnold must make sure he and his friends survive safely, all while working towards a reunion he’s dreamt of his whole life!
The two-hour TV movie features a storyline that picks up from where the original series ended in the "The Journal" in 2004 and resolves unanswered questions and plotlines-including Arnold finally getting answers about the whereabouts of his missing parents, Arnold's last name, and how Arnold feels about Helga! The movie is co-written and executive produced by the series’ original creator Craig Bartlett and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif.
Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie is slated to premiere on Nickelodeon USA on Thursday 23rd November 2017, as part of the networks Thanksgiving celebrations.
Online at nick.com/heyarnold, fans can find out more about the movie and watch exclusive video clips from the film.

Palm Springs, Florida: For about two months, Jayce Mroz, a G-Star School of the Arts student in Palm Springs, took classes in a classroom at Viacom International Studios in Miami because he was in the middle of filming a brand-new Nickelodeon series.
“There were six of us there,” Mroz, 16, recalled. “I was lucky I didn’t have to dis-enroll from (G-Star) or take online school. G-Star really helped me.”
Mroz was in Miami to film I Am Frankie, Nickelodeon's latest daily scripted series about a teenage experimental android who must hide her true identity to avoid an evil tech company from finding her. The show, originally produced as Yo Soy Franky by Nickelodeon Latin America in Colombia, currently airs daily at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon USA, and is currently rolling out on Nickelodeon channels and programming blocks globally.
In the series, which started airing in September, Mroz, an 11th-grader, plays Robbie Turnbull, sort of a misfit teenager who doesn’t have many friends.
The cast of Nickelodeon's I Am Frankie
“It was really weird because when I got the role in December, I couldn’t tell anybody,” Mroz told myPalmBeachPost. “That was really hard because it was the holidays. We traveled with family and everybody is asking, ‘How is your acting going?’ and I say. ‘It’s doing good,’ but in the back of mind, I’m saying, ‘I wish I could tell you I booked a TV show.’”
Mroz’s mother, Natalie, remembers getting the call when her son got the role.
“I was teaching and just started screaming without making any noise and jumping around the classroom,” she said. “He finally achieved the first step in his dreams.”
Mroz remembers auditioning three times — the main audition, the call back and the screen test.
“The first one is always the most nerve-wracking because it’s your first exposure you have with the casting director and the first time you have to make a good impact,” Mroz said.
A few weeks later, he got a call back.
“Now it’s down to me and 100 other kids,” Mroz said, laughing. “Same thing happens, you go in, they say ‘good job’ and then you leave.”
Then, Mroz got called for the screen test.
“It was me and one other actor,” Mroz said. “My first thought was, ‘How good is this kid?’ I thought it was going to be tough going after a role with another person who’s the same age as you and you looks like you.”
Mroz said he was expecting one person with a camera.
Instead, Mroz found three tables of network executives in suits.
“They were just looking at us while we were acting,” he said. “That’s scary, but I got some snickers out of people, then two weeks later I heard I got the job.”
Natalie, who’s fiftysomething, said it’s been an experience for her.
“It’s a little surreal to turn on your TV and there’s your kid on television,” she said.
For Mroz, the show is his first. He said he’s learned so much about teamwork.
“I wasn’t sure if I could do that,” he said. “It’s amazing how many people work on a scene that has two lines.”
Mroz actually started his career about seven years ago where he performed a monologue in front of agents and casting directors.
“I was so happy doing it,” he said, “I just felt like it was normal so I thought it would be cool to be on a TV show.”
Mroz’s favorite actors are Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks and Jim Carrey. He actually worked as an extra with Freeman on Dolphin Tale 2.
“One of my scenes was to read a pamphlet to my mom,” Mroz said. “In that scene, Morgan walks and sits down next to me and we have a nice conversation.”
Mroz finished shooting 20 episodes of the show’s first season in March. He said all his friends have been very supportive.
“No one is taking advantage of it,” he said. “I’m being treated like a normal kid, which is what I like.”

Mike O’Malley Looks Back on Hosting "Nickelodeon’s GUTS" 25 Years Later | NickSplat
Some people might have forgotten that Mike O’Malley, who played Kurt Hummel’s dad and made you cry with his fatherly talks during six seasons of Glee, used to be a Nickelodeon game show host.

“I took the job very seriously,” O’Malley tells ET about hosting Nickelodeon's hit ‘90s sports competition series GUTS, now celebrating its 25th anniversary. O’Malley, 50, was 24 years old when he landed the job. “I looked at the part like I was playing the role of an older brother. Like a cool camp counselor. I loved working with the kids.”
Each episode filmed on Stage 21 at Universal Studios Florida featured three teenage athletes competing against each other in four "extreme" versions of athletic events. In the final round, they raced up a “mountain” called the Aggro Crag, later renamed to Mega Crag. The show aired on Nickelodeon during a tween programming block that also included Legends of the Hidden Temple and Nick Arcade.
“[Nickelodeon] started making their own programing,” O’Malley recalls. “They didn’t have all the animated [shows]. A lot of their programming was kids’ game shows and sports action shows.”
O’Malley, who is from Boston, moved to New York after graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 1988 to study acting. “I did an acting showcase where casting agents come. I met an agent there. About six months later, I got cast as a host of a show called Get the Picture. We did [about] 120 episodes of that quiz show. Then I started touring around the country with Nickelodeon.”
That’s when he met GUTS creator Albie Hecht, who offered him the hosting gig on the show. “It was a fun time at Nickelodeon. Geraldine Laybourne, who used to run Nickelodeon, would talk about [how the network was] a place where kids are in charge. And so the programming was about them and their own wish fulfillment.”
Former contestants on the show included stuntwoman Anna Mercedes Morris (who coincidentally worked on an episode of Glee as Lea Michele’s stunt double), MLS soccer star Bobby Boswell, Hamilton West End actor Gregory Haney and Backstreet Boy AJ McLean. “I don’t remember [McLean]. I remember Jana Helms, who actually now is sadly paralyzed.”
Helms was known on GUTS as Jana “The Warrior” Waring. “She was an unbelievable athlete,” O’Malley remembers. Helms was part of the show’s second season one-hour special, Nickelodeon GUTS All-Stars, where three perfect-scoring players from the first season competed against each other. Five years later, while performing as a gymnast at Sea World in Orlando, she broke her neck and became paralyzed from the chest down. Helms is now married and living in Los Angeles.
After GUTS, O’Malley went on to host his own show called The Mike O’Malley Show, which aired for two episodes before it was canceled in 1999. In 2000, he starred as Jimmy Hughes on the CBS comedy Yes, Dear for six seasons, and had a role as Stuart on My Name is Earl. On both those shows he worked with producer and writer Greg Garcia. O’Malley has also spent the past 15 years expanding his career offscreen, with writing credits on Shameless and as creator of Survivor’s Remorse on Starz. Most recently, he and Garcia teamed up to co-write Escape to Margaritaville, an original story with songs by Jimmy Buffett set for Broadway in February 2018.
Mike recently recently reunited with GUTS referee Moira Quirk for a GUTS-themed episode of Nickelodeon's Sanjay and Craig.
As for GUTS, O’Malley, who still speaks passionately about the show that could be considered his breakthrough in the business, believes a reboot would do well on TV today. “I think they should do it again. Yes.”
NickSplat, Nickelodeon's destination for the most loved Nick content from the 1990s and beyond, temporarily revived GUTS in partnership with Mountain Dew in 2016 for the Moutain Dew's DEWggro Crag event in NYC.

WIN A Trip To Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana With Toys"R"Us New "Play Chaser" AR App
Toys“R”Us are clearly all about bringing their stores to life and making them a place for kids to play. In fact, it’s in their DNA and new mission to set play free…aka making sure kids (and adults) make time for unstructured play. Toys“R”Us also know their customers want more than just a place to shop. They want something different, like experiences and toys out of the box.
One cool, techy way the toy retailer is making it happen now is…AR! That’s augmented reality for those not in the know. Specifically, Play Chaser, Toys“R”Us's new, FREE-to-PLAY AR app for smartphones and tablets that virtually brings Toys“R”Us stores to life!
How does it work? Developed in partnership with PlayFusion, Play Chaser uses PlayFusion’s proprietary computer vision technology to activate different AR games and play experiences on your smart device. To unlock the experiences, simply download the app (in the Apple App Store, Google Play or Amazon Appstore) and scan the many different Play Chaser signs featured on Toys“R”Us shelves.
The play experiences are fun and interactive – from a virtual basketball hoop that kids can shoot at solo or alongside friends in-store, to a baby nursery where they can select a unique, digital You & Me doll, take it home and care for it (think: changing diapers, feeding and bath time!). There’s even a virtual Geoffrey the Giraffe to welcome customers to the store, explain the app and send kids on their quest for in-store play. Another cool feature? Some games have leaderboards that show where players rank amongst each other in their local store and nationally.
Check out the video below to see the app in action before playing in-store! To download the video, Play Chaser logo and screenshots, click here.
Happy parent alert! The app is completely FREE! Not only to download, but little ones won’t be able to make “accidental” in-app purchases and won’t be subject to pesky advertisements. The in-app currency is stars (like those on Geoffrey) and kids can earn and spend them by completing different quests or games – all without using your hard-earned dollars.
When is this live, you ask? Starting today, Toys“R”Us are testing Play Chaser in 23 stores in the U.S. (keep scrolling for the list)! Don’t worry, it’s rolling out to all Toys“R”Us stores nationwide on Saturday, October 21, including Toys“R”Us' Times Square holiday shop.*
Play Chaser is available to download now, but to celebrate the apps' nationwide launch, customers who download the app between Friday, October 20 and Saturday, October 28 will eligible to enter Toys“R”Us's official Play Chaser Sweepstakes. No this isn’t just for a few winners – 2,000 entrants will receive a $25 Toys“R”Us gift card, with one winning a grand prize trip for four to the Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana! #forrealwinning

While the AR experience was being developed months before the company filed for Chapter 11 protection to deal with $5 billion in long-term debt, efforts to make the retailer's roughly 1,600 stores more interactive will be key to the company's turnaround, Toys“R”Us CEO Dave Brandon told USA Today, adding "It's going to transform the experience of coming into a Toys R Us bricks and mortar store and turn it into something that’s quite different and a lot more fun. [...] We believe that’s going to drive a lot more traffic into our stores which will ultimately put us in a position where we can be more successful at growing our sales and our company."
Next Up? Playrooms
In addition to their brand-new AR app, Toys R Us plans to open playrooms at 42 stores where children can try out games and gadgets, and toy demonstrators will be on standby.
Brandon says that he doesn't believe that “any one of these programs that we're both testing and rolling out is a silver bullet . . . that’s going to dramatically change trends."
But he added, "bringing our stores to life and creating engaging experiences for our customers is a business strategy . . . That strategy was in place before we filed to restructure the company, and it will be one that will continue with increasing amounts of investment as we move forward."
