Ken Ober, who hosted the great MTV game show 'Remote Control' in the late 80's, was found dead this past weekend. This show was on during the last period of time MTV was very watchable, at least to my demo. A college buddy of mine was once a contestant on the show, which was a comedic tribute to old game shows and mainly featured TV trivia questions. Loved that show, R.I.P. Ken.
