This is weird. Ken Ober's dead. Not clear of what.
He was host of MTV's Remote Control, a late-80s game show about popular culture. Or really a comment on game shows. It did not take itself seriously.
The show allegedly took place in Ober's basement (his mom would interrupt from upstairs). The three contestants sat in lounge chairs and when they lost would be pulled back through the wall.
I thought Ober was funny. He kept working when they show was canceled, but like so many pop culture items of that period, he's pretty much completely forgotten.
Does Chris Hardwick know about this?

I know several people who used to watch R.C. regularly; most of the guys loved Kari. Anaconda was her peak performance. I went to high school with a fella who was a contestant on the show.
just sum dude
Kari was beautiful, but the girl in the first season got the show better.
Hey that is a great episode. Namely because I am the Andrea on it. Even if I did lose :0
