"On your mark... get set... go!"

People of a certain age will perk their ears at that introduction to one of the messiest, wildest kids' game shows of the 1980s and 90s.

"Double Dare" was Nickelodeon's answer to "Beat the Clock" and trivia game shows from the heyday of television's past.

Teams of children - and later, their families - would dare each other to answer questions or risk taking a physical challenge to earn cash.

The winning team would then run a 60-second obstacle course with even larger, messier tasks to conquer - a path to more prizes and vacation packages.

Popularity for the game show and its affable host, Marc Summers, soared shortly after its premiere in 1986. Merchandise followed, as did live tours.

The show finally went off the air in 1993 following several incarnations on Nickelodeon, Fox, and in syndication.

A follow-up series, "Double Dare 2000," was short lived, as was a nightly live stage show at the Nickelodeon Hotel & Suites in Florida.

But the hunger for Gak, absurdly-sized waffles and tanks filled with baked beans has only intesified.

The Splat, Nickelodeon's nightly nostalgia block on the TeenNick channel, is hoping those fans are ready to lace up their Reeboks (the official shoe of Double Dare, naturally).

A one-night-only live performance of "Double Dare," with Summers as emcee, has been planned for this year's San Diego Comic-Con.

And, as with anything else in the digital age - the revolution will be streamed.

The Splat plans to post the entire show via Facebook Live Friday night at 9:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

Summers is returning to the mic as he is in the midst of promoting a new documentary, "On Your Marc," about his life, career, and production of a one-man show.
