<P> On March 28, 2008, the Communication and Journalism Club of Coastal Carolina University presented Summers with the first annual Peach Cobbler Award and declared that day as "Marc Summers Day". The Peach Cobbler Award was modeled after Harvard's Hasty Pudding Award . The Peach Cobbler Award recognizes an individual and their accomplishments in the communication field . After the ceremony, Summers hosted a mock version of Double Dare on the university's campus . </P> <P> During an interview with Dr. Eric Hollander on Biggers & Summers, Summers revealed that he has obsessive compulsive disorder . Summers went public about his condition on various television shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Today Show . In 1999, Summers produced a VHS video box set with Hollander about his experience, called Everything in Its Place: My Trials and Triumphs with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder . Summers also participated in a series of VHS videos for Freedom from Fear, a non-profit organization with the goal of addressing anxiety disorders and other related behavioral disorders . Despite his OCD, he was able to interact fully with his fans and contestants on Double Dare to the point of even allowing himself to get slimed and shaking hands with contestants . Going public with his OCD cost Summers a job as host of a Hollywood Squares revival, and he was replaced by Tom Bergeron . </P> <P> In August 2012, Summers suffered severe head injuries in an accident in a Philadelphia taxicab equipped with a partition . Summers said, "Everything on the left side (of my face) from my eye socket down was just wiped out . My eye socket got all swollen . I'm having trouble seeing completely out of the left eye...There's lots of VCR parts in my face . I was pretty lucky that I didn't have brain damage ." </P> <P> In a 2015 interview on the Philadelphia - based "Preston and Steve" radio show (WMMR), Summers revealed that 6 years before, in 2009, he had "stomach problems" and had been in a lot of pain . Exploratory surgery revealed that he had chronic lymphatic leukemia . The initial doctor recommended chemotherapy, but fearing the pain and illness involved, Summers sought the opinion of another oncologist in Chicago . The oncologist promptly misdiagnosed him with mantle cell lymphoma and told him that he only had 6 months to live . Summers went back to his initial doctor in a panic; ultimately the original diagnosis of chronic lymphatic leukemia was confirmed . Chemotherapy would go on for the next 2 years for him, which he described as "brutal". Summers has had PET scans ever since his chemo finished, and as of 2016, is in remission. On "Preston and Steve" on April 10, 2018, Summers discussed flying to the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center from his home in Santa Barbara for further treatment . </P>
