The Only Obituary Written in Chris Rosenberg’s Basement

Or
Dead, Alive or Indian Food?
(Props to John)

Or
Remote Control Will Not Continue....
(Kudos to Phil, who apparently hasn’t opened a TV Guide since 1990)

Or
Dead or... Dead
(Additional accolades for Phil)

Or
He'd Rather Be Canadian
(Further fanfare for Phil)

Or
Kenny was just like the other kids.....
Living mattered, nothing else did.....
Reaper said yes, but he said 'noooooooooooo"
So now he's got his own gravestone!
(Poetic posturing from Phil)
Ken Ober, host of the greatest game show ever, has fallen back through the breakaway brick wall in the sky at the age of 52. Ober hosted the television and pop culture trivia-based Remote Control, one of the first non-musical entries ever on MTV, where he set the archetype as the irreverent game show host, openly mocking the three barcalounger-buckled contestants for particularly stupid answers on a stage set to resemble a cluttered basement, complete with a life-sized Bob Eubanks Pez dispenser. Question categories included Dead or Canadian, The Bon Jovi Network, Brady Physics (or Metaphysics) and Inside Tina Yothers, and skits like Beat the Bishop, where contestants had to complete a math problem before a man dressed as a bishop completed a lap around the studio. His later career was far less interesting, hosting a talk show with Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady) and serving as producer on such series as Mind of Mencia, the Greg Giraldo Show and The New Adventures of Old Christine.
