Nickelodeon's Marc Summers reveals he WALKED OUT of Quiet On Set interview and claims show pulled a 'bait and switch' on him: 'They lied and ambushed me!'

Former Nickelodeon host Marc Summers has revealed he walked out of his interview for the Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV docuseries and accused the show  of 'pulling a bait and switch on him.'

The Double Dare host, 72, said he was contacted to appear on the Investigation Discovery series but was not told the program was investigating Dan Schneider’s alleged inappropriate behavior with minors and Brian Peck’s sexual assault of Drake Bell.

Speaking in an interview on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show - the full version of which will be released Friday, he said: ''They asked me what I thought of Nick, and the first 10 to 12 seconds, from what I understand, in this documentary is me saying all these wonderful things. 

'But they did a bait and switch on me. They ambushed me. They never told me what this documentary was really about. And so they showed me a video of something that I couldn’t believe was on Nickelodeon. And I said, ‘Well, let’s stop the tape right here. What are we doing?'” 

A blindsided Summers says when he was informed what the series was about, he walked out.

He said: 'I left. So I got a phone call about six weeks ago saying you’re totally out of the show. And I went, ‘Great.’ Then they called me about four weeks ago and said, ‘Well, you’re in it, but you’re only in the first part of it because you talked about the positive stuff of Nickelodeon.

'What they didn’t tell me — and they lied to me about — was the fact that they put in that other thing where they had the camera on me when they ambushed me. And so, now we get into a whole situation about who’s unethical.'

In the documentary Summers is filmed watching a clip on his phone and asking: 'Did that air on Nickelodeon?'

The documentary shows numerous inappropriate scenes from Schneider's series including Victorious and Sam & Cat.

Schneider  has now admitted that had previously overstepped professional boundaries and conceded he owed 'some people a pretty strong apology.'

Schneider, who was previously described as 'Nickelodeon's golden boy,' began by addressing the furor head on as he explained: 'Watching over the past two nights was very difficult.

'Me facing my past behaviors - some of which are embarrassing and that I regret. I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology.'

Summers said he had never met Schneider, saying: 'Those people came in after and took over our studios. I never met the man, I have no idea about any of those things.

'I mean, I know Kenan [Thompson] from Kenan and Kel, because we’ve done stuff together. But as far as anything that happened on that show with any of those people, I never met any of them. I didn’t know anybody. But it made it seem like I knew those people.

Summers also said he was due to receive a 'phone call coming today at 3 o’clock' amid the furore.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Investigation Discovery for comment. 

Drake Bell will appear in a fifth episode of Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.

Entitled 'Breaking the Silence,' the episode is scheduled to air on April 7 on ID and stream the next day on Max.

Journalist Soledad O'Brien will lead 'an important discussion about the industry, then and now.'

The episode will be 'building off the revelations explored in the first four episodes,' including a conversation about 'where the industry can go from here.'

'With Breaking the Silence, we're digging deeper into the crucial conversations the docuseries ignited and exploring the lingering questions left in their wake to provide further insight from the brave voices who’ve spoken out previously and those who are coming forward again,' said ID president Jason Sarlanis.

In addition to Bell (The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh), the episode will feature additional interviews with All That stars Giovonnie Samuels and Bryan Hearne.

Also featured is Hearne's mother Tracey Brown. 

Breaking the Silence will also include a new interview with All That cast member Shane Lyons. 

Bell, 37, revealed for the first time on Quiet on Set that he was the minor who accused acting coach Brian Peck of sexual abuse.

While appearing last week on The Sarah Fraser Show podcast, Bell said he checked into rehab after giving his first Quiet on Set interview.

'I just felt really comfortable in that interview, but I was going through so much in my personal life and after that interview I ended up checking myself into rehab,' he said. 

'Once I got out, I thought to myself, "Maybe this is a good time to reach back out to them and say hey, I'm not 100% yet, let's talk some more.

'But I'm getting closer to feeling comfortable with finally sharing my story," added Bell.

Peck, now 63, was arrested in 2003 and served 16 months in prison, in addition to being ordered to register as a sex offender.

The docuseries also included several allegations of sexism and creating a toxic environment against The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh creator Dan Schneider
