TVFF interviews Marc Summers
01 18 2007Okay, so the guys over at TVFoodFan.com get their hands into things, and end up interviewing people. The last I saw, it was the guy from The Hungry Detective. Now, they’ve got part 1 of a 2 part interview with Marc Summers on their site. He’s currently the host of Food Network’s Unwrapped, and is the producer of the upcoming Dinner: Impossible.
Now, I know this is a small stray from food and tv shows, but Marc Summers is also a writer, on top of being a producer. A few years ago Summers wrote a book called Everything In It’s Place about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – which has always interested me because of his work on TV shows like Double Dare where children run around covered in slime. Anyway, I would think he would also have a lot of issues in general working in the food industry. Maybe that’s why he’s not a chef? 
Anyway, Marc is entertaining – I end up watching Unwrapped quite a bit, but I didn’t know he was a producer. I was considering watching Dinner Impossible, but now that I know he’s the producer of the show, I will definitely have to check it out 
Thanks for the link! I hope you enjoy the interview.
Marc was great to talk to and you could just tell by the tone of his voice how excited he is about Dinner: Impossible. As I mentioned in the piece, the new commercials they’re showing for it makes it look even more fun.
We didn’t discuss the whole OCD thing, but I’ve always thought the same thing regarding Double Dare. Knowing how tough it can be to function with a condition like that makes his accomplishments all the more impressive.
Keep up the good work with the site!
