REMOTE CONTROL!!!!

And the results are in. You guys got pretty close. They were all hosts on the MTV game show “Remote Control”. Sonia did pretty good as well as someone else. I’ll check the comments again. Here is a little biography of each.

Ken Ober (born Ken Oberding) is an actor and former game show host. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1957. [edit] Career Ober hosted four game shows over the course of his career. He is most widely known for his role on the MTV game show Remote Control [1], which he hosted for five seasons spanning 1987 to 1990. Ober is known amongst ’90s and ’00s audiences for his hosting jobs on Make Me Laugh [2], Smush and a relatively obscure ESPN game show called Perfect Match (according to Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows Volume 2). In 1995, Ober hosted a Los Angeles talk radio show with former Brady Bunch star Susan Olsen. The show, known as “Ober and Olsen,” aired on 97.1 KLSX. Most recently, in 2002, Ober served as supervising producer for Colin Quinn’s Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn [3], which was a reunion of sorts as Quinn was the announcer on Remote Control. He was also a guest on one episode.

Colin Quinn was born in Brooklyn to an Irish-American family and was raised in the Park Slope section of the borough. His gravelly Brooklyn accent and idiosyncratic mannerisms are trademarks of his stand-up act, headlining at top comedy clubs across the country, including Caroline’s Comedy Club in New York City. Before becoming a comedian, Quinn worked as a bartender. He stopped drinking in the early 1980s after several bad experiences with alcohol, including drunken blackouts and nights spent in jail.[1] After quitting bartending, Quinn began his stand-up career in 1984. He first achieved fame in 1987 as co-host of the MTV game show Remote Control, which he did for three years. In 1989, he hosted A&E stand-up showcase Caroline’s Comedy Hour, and acted in and wrote the comedic short Going Back to Brooklyn along with Ben Stiller. Much of his early comedy career focused on stand-up and writing for shows like In Living Color. He later co-wrote the story and was an associate producer for the movie Celtic Pride, starring Damon Wayans and Dan Aykroyd.

( after you read this you’ll realize how hard it was for me to find a picture of Kari with her clothes on)

Kari Wührer’s first television break was working for MTV as a VJ and as a co-host in Remote Control (1987), before moving on to film. After appearing in Andrew Dice Clay’s The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) and the leading lady role of Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991), she then starred in over a dozen straight-to-video sexploitation movies, most notably Sex and the Other Man (1996), Vivid (1997) (also released as Luscious), and Spider’s Web (2001). Wührer appeared in the television series Swamp Thing as Abigail from 1991-1993. Wührer came to mainstream fame in 1997 on the series Sliders as Maggie Beckett, joining the cast as a regular and staying until the show ended in 2000. Later mainstream movie roles include Anaconda (1997), Berserker (2001) and Eight Legged Freaks (2002). Wührer is also well known by many gamers for her role in Westwood Studios’ PC game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and its subsequent expansion pack, Yuri’s Revenge as Agent Tanya Adams. Wührer signed a record deal with Rick Rubin and her debut album was called Shiny, released in 1999. She plays the guitar and the flute as well as sings. Wührer, who considered an offer to appear nude in Playboy in 1998, was later voted #76 on the FHM 100 Sexiest Women of 2000.[2] #73 in the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2001,[3] #36 in Maxim magazine’s 50 Sexiest Women Countdown (1999), #64 on Celebrity Skin’s 100 Sexiest Stars of All Time, and #4 in the Celebrity Nudity Database most popular actresses (1999). Her breast implants encapsulated during the filming of Spider’s Web (2001) so she had them removed.[4] She later wrote an article for the September 2002 issue of Glamour Magazine about the insecurities that led her to get implants early in her career and the sense of self-acceptance she acquired. After its publication, she appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and discussed the pressure she received from a prominent record producer to get the implants, during what she called “the era of the Video Vixen”.
