Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Ken Ober, whose MTV game show "Remote Control" was among the network's first forays into non-music programming, has died at age 52, his agent said Monday.
Ober hosted five seasons of "Remote Control," a pop-culture quiz show that featured contestants strapped into easy chairs to answer questions from categories such as "Dead or Canadian?" The show first aired in 1987 and helped launch the careers of comedians Adam Sandler, Denis Leary and Colin Quinn, who was the program's announcer.
Sorry to see you go "Off the Air", Ken. RIP.
That is all.

Geez -- I have never heard of him. 52 is too young, though.
I think he had some connection to Mass or RI. I used to like that show, it had some goofy bits likr the pez dispenser that held the questions
