Following in the slime-covered footsteps of ‘You Can’t Do That On Television’, Double Dare invited teams of two to take on a variety of messy games interspersed with trivia questions. Hosted by Marc Summers, and with the same VO artist Finders Keepers would later use in Harvey, DD was a huge success in terms of viewership and popularity. It tripled Nick’s afternoon ratings with over 1 million tuning in each week.

Nickelodeon Game Shows That Crossed The Pond #2 - Double Dare / Run The Risk
In 1986, Nick introduced its first game show in Double Dare. After conducting focus groups in order to improve their programming output, they established that children enjoyed watching game shows with their family but Nick at the time did not have a game show on their schedules.
After a pilot recording in May 1986, a full series was greenlit in June and broadcast followed in October the same year.
