Updated | 4:29 p.m. Ken Ober, a brassy comedian best known as the host of the 1980s-era MTV game show “Remote Control,” died this weekend, Mark Measures, an agent at Abrams Artists who worked with him, said on Monday. Mr. Ober, who lived in Santa Monica, Calif., was 52. The cause of death was not immediately known.

Ken was a wonderfully warm and grounded guy — the iconic success he achieved with "Remote Control" never seemed to go to his head. (Then again, if "Remote Control" went to your head, your head would have to be a very troubled place.)

He's dead =(

I can't believe that show was on 20 years ago. I used to watch.

sad.
remote control was a bit of an snl launching pad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grK66SReEFA), plus maybe the most fun tv game show ever.
