Political Correctness Then and Now in the Entertainment Industry | Marc Summers | TEDxCapeMay

What’s funny, and what’s offensive? Marc Summers, former stand-up comic and longtime TV host and executive producer, examines the envelope-pushing trends in comedy. Get ready to laugh. And maybe even get ready to write a letter and start a boycott.

Marc currently hosts the longest-running show on Food Network, "Unwrapped", a job he has held for eleven years. He has also hosted "Next Food Network Star", "Ultimate Recipe Showdown", and many specials for the channel. As an executive producer, Summers' credits include "Dinner: Impossible", "Food Feuds" and "Restaurant: Impossible". Some will remember him as the former host/producer of Nickelodeon’s “Double Dare” and “What Would You Do?” while others will remember him from his days on ABC’s “Home Show,” where he doubled as both correspondent and guest host.
