Ken Ober dies at 52


Ken Ober, best known as the host of MTV's late-1980s game show "Remote Control," died Sunday at his Los Angeles home.

Ober's reps confirm that he passed away over the weekend at the age of 52. No other details were available late Monday morning.

"Remote Control" was one of MTV's earliest attempts to move away from airing just music videos. Although it ran from only 1987 to 1990, it became a pop culture touchstone for many members of Generation X.

Ober had worked as writer and producer on Comedy Central's "Mind of Mencia" in recent years and also did a stint as a consulting producer on "The New Adventures of Old Christine" in 2006. He also worked behind the camera (and occasionally in front of it) on his friend and "Remote Control" announcer Colin Quinn's show "Tough Crowd" earlier in the decade.

Take a look at Ober in his "Remote Control" element from 1988.
