Obituary
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ken Ober, who hosted the 1980s MTV game show "Remote Control" and helped produce the shows "Mind of Mencia" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine," has died. He was 52.
His agent, Lee Kernis, says Ober was found dead Sunday in his Santa Monica home. Kernis says Ober complained of headaches and flu-like symptoms on Saturday night but the cause of his death wasn't clear.
Ober hosted five seasons of "Remote Control" beginning in 1987. Contestants in lounge chairs were asked pop-culture questions from categories such as "Dead or Canadian?" The show featured early appearances by comedians Adam Sandler, Denis Leary and Colin Quinn.
Ober, who was born Ken Oberding in Massachusetts, is survived by his parents and a brother.

93/94 NYE Feast in the local Village. Lovina Beach Bali.
I met Ken and Susie W in Bali on New Years Eve 93/94. We spent about 10 days together carrying on like idiots, and keeping the locals (and ourselves) in fits of laughter. Ken was a great guy, who I miss very much. We wrote to each other for a couple of years, and then life simply got in the way and I lost track of him. Sadly, I found him again about one month after his passing. Miss you Pal. I wish you a safe, peaceful and happy journey to somewhere where the breeze blows, the sea is calm and...

To the Ober Family,
I was friends with Ken, he was a nice, genuine person. He loved life and loved to laugh. I hadn't seen him in years but always had fond memories of him from High School. I am deeply sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I met Ken at UMASS Amherst in 1978. He was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, and I was rushing to become a pledge. What an honest, sincere, and needless to say funny guy. I remember him driving his Fiat convertible around campus. We both had a attended a soccer camp run by Pelé in New Jersey, he realized that when he saw me wearing a jersey from that camp. I think it kind of endeared me to him. I never missed a comedy show that he did at UMASS with his then comedy writing partner,...

For Ken...
I am always perplexed by His
choice of someone so young.
Now...you have gone home.
You know the answers to all
the questions.
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze...

it's always ironic to read an obit about someone whom you spent only an afternoon with...which is the time i spent with Ken back when i lived in Hollywood...he came over to see a friend in the next apartment but somehow, we managed to end up in the backyard, talking and sharing a few laughs...i went away thinking he was funny, who couldn't, and sincere...something lacking in Hollywood, for sure...was he a "good" guy, i don't know...but for one afternoon, we talked like old friends and i'm...
