Ken Ober Has Passed Away

Over on Twitter, there were rumors that Ken Ober went off to heaven. Many brushed off the rumors, because we all know MTV game show hosts live forever. But sadly, they don't, because Ken's manager confirms that he died over the weekend at the age of 52.

Ken was best known for hosting MTV's Remote Control for 5 seasons. Ken went on to host Make Me Laugh and also produced a few episodes of The New Adventures of Old Christine.

There's not many details on Ken's death. According to Ken's manager, he complained about a headache and flu-like symptoms on Saturday night. Ken told friends that he was going to take some medication and see a doctor as soon as possible. Ken was found dead in his Santa Monica, CA home on Sunday.

Below is a clip from Remote Control. I always wanted to be a contestant on that show, because they got to sit in fat chairs and eat imaginary snacks. Rest in Peace, Ken.....

He died? How old was he... I loved that show on mtv he did.

Sounds like septicemia. My ex husband had that and almost died. We thought he had the flu, until his temperature got to 106. I told him, if you are that damn sick then take your self to the hospital. I know it sounds cruel, but there is a reason why he is the ex husband.

RIP Ken!

"Septicemia can begin with spiking fevers, chills, rapid breathing, and rapid heart rate. The person looks very ill.
The symptoms rapidly progress to shock.

I found a HOTTEST club http://www.MixedConnect.com for black Women and white Men, or black Men and white Women, to interact with each other. Interracial is not a problem here, but a great merit to cherish!

Jesus! Enough with the fucking shopping spam, assholes! No one wants to go to your stupid site!

Anyhoo, for the poster who was asking, it was Kari Wurher who was the girl. I loved that show. The best was the final round when the person would have to guess the videos on the tv pyramid.

I loved Remote Control too. Man the 90s had some stupid fun TV shows, especially on MTV. See, MTV, you can do campy shit stuff that has some memorable cultural value? Even I remember that shit! So sad about Ken, he was the hotness!

Oh no, that's so sad -- I loved Remote Control. RIP.

Noooooooo! Not Ken!! And The Equalizer too?!! Loved both shows.

RIP Ken

I swear if ''Hunter'' kicks the bucket.....

Madam Pince's picture

Sad. I loved Remote Control and Ken always made me laugh. The fucking flu. He was a year younger than The Banshe -- too young to pass.

Combine this with the passing of the unparalleled Edward "The Equalizer" Woodward, and I wonder who'll be next in the celebrity death trio.

She was brilliant, humorous, generous, and crack a smile sometimes. This image of abundant emotions, absoulutely outpace her "HR manager, Monthly income over $10,000 " life tag image. Express your emotion, let youself, life change to a poetic picture. A woman ★★★S ugarl oves- c om★★★ like that always reversed all sentient beings, got the love of whole world man.

I watched all the time... I was actually waiting for them to play MUSIC VIDEOS!! which they actually did a little more of back in those days. Anyhow, such a shame, he was so young. Hope you keep em laughin (where ever you may be).

He was still young! Bummer. Okay i used to watch Remote Control with my brother. Does anyone remember the character Gunter Gable? He would come out with his arms bitten off and bloody clothes. My brother would call me Gunter Gable when we argued. We loved that guy!

Anyways RIP Ken. ♥

Man, I have such great memories of watching that show as a kid with my brother. I could be wrong, but I think they made some kind of board game out of it. If I am remembering correctly, we had it!

Webberbear's picture

Ober was a comedy champion on the 1980s variety show, Star Search, but many more people knew and grew up with him as the host of MTV's game show, Remote Control -- which in turn helped break the careers of comedians Adam Sandler, Colin Quinn and Denis Leary.

Friends had become concerned when Ober didn't make it to a show this weekend, and called 911. Authorities found Ober at his home.

Which means he was probably dead for a while - ugh.

urmomma's picture

Awwwwe. Sad.
I watched faithfully.

Very sad...so young...loved him and his show. Not that 52 is old, but I thought he was much younger than that. I guess he always just looked youthful. Sorry to hear of his death. Condolences to his loved ones.

thanks centy

yes this show was a seminal part of our growth!
