Summers started his career as a radio disk jockey, then worked as a stand up comedian. However, he rose to fame after hosting the game show “Double Dare” (1986–1993), and following high ratings of the game show and popularity of the host, he was invited to anchor other programmes including “Coach Potatoes” (1989), “What Would You Do? (1991) and “Win Tuition” (2002). As a guest star he was invited onto a number of shows, including “Talk About” (1990), “Win, Lose or Draw” (1992), “Scrabble” (1993), “Password Plus” (1994), “To Tell The Truth” (1998), “Lingo: (2000) and other programmes.

Since 2011, he has been holding the same position for another show, “Restaurant Impossible” also on the Food Network.
