Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell Will Return to Nickelodeon to Compete on DOUBLE DARE

Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed that Nickelodeon Legends Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell will return to the network to compete on a special edition of the classic game show Double Dare!

"I am so excited to be playing on DOUBLE DARE and for whole new generation of kids to experience this iconic game show," says Mitchell. "This episode will be double special because Kenan and I will be playing against each other and we are both huge fans of Double Dare! I can't wait to see the super talented Liza Koshy rock it as the new host!"

The newly revamped version of DOUBLE DARE hosted by Liz Koshy will premiere tonight, June 25, on Nickelodeon.

Also set to appear with Mitchell and Thompson on their episode, which airs later this summer, is fellow All That alum Lori Beth Denberg. The trio previously reunited in February on Nick Cannon's (another All That veteran) Wild 'n Out.

Double Dare features two teams competing to win prizes by answering brain-bending trivia questions, completing messy physical stunts and ultimately facing the legendary obstacle course-the human hamster wheel, the classic gigantic mouth, the wringer, the iconic DOUBLE DARE nose and more.

Nickelodeon's new DOUBLE DARE will also spill off of the screen and into the real world this summer, connecting to fans both old and new in a series of forthcoming location-based live experiences. There will be opportunities for fans to play DOUBLE DARE in on-the-ground versions at VidCon 2018 in Anaheim, Calif., and all summer long at Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America in Minneapolis.

Double Dare premiered on Oct. 6, 1986, on Nickelodeon, and ran from 1986-1993, making it the network's longest running game show. Marc Summers served as the show's original host from 1986-1993. Shortly after its debut, DOUBLE DARE became one of the most popular original daily programs on cable television. The series went into Syndication in 1988, and was later revived as Super Sloppy DOUBLE DARE in 1989. The show also ran on broadcast television as Family DOUBLE DARE in 1988, followed by new versions on Nick, including DOUBLE DARE 2000.
