Wow.... makes me feel old to think that Remote Control was that long ago.
Kari Wuhrer was awesome back in the day. |

Wow. I see a bunch of ESPN people at the Panera in Bishop's Corner (notably Mike Golic, since his kids go to Northwest, which is right near the elementary school where I work). I would have liked to meet Ken Ober. |

This will make me sound like Hell Atlantic, but if you were in high school or college during the Remote Control era and didn't want to do naughty things to Kari Whurer, there was something seriously wrong with you. |

I always thought that Colin Quinn was really cool because of Remote Control. And then he kind of blew it with his stint on SNL -- he just seemed like a dinosaur compared to the other castmembers at the time (Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Jimmy Fallon, Jim Breuer).
Gotta admit -- I have had the Remote Control theme song in my head since seeing this thread. |

You may be, but Ken Ober wasn't. RIP, sort-of-funnyman.

He was the only one from that show that didn't seem to have a bigger career afterward. Hell, even that kid Adam Sandler had a career. As for Kari Wuhher... Yes, naughty things come to mind to this day, and she is currently 42 years old.
RIP, Ken. Last edited by M GO BLUE!!! : 11-16-2009 at 10:45 PM. |

Heard a rumor today it was H1N1. Or maybe it's legitimate news. I've gotten lazy to the point I didn't even check.

Dam...that brings back some memories.
I like the fact that one of the contestants could win some of the newest CDs from top artists such as Whitney Houston & Milli Vanilli. |

I remember Remote Control, but not particularily Ken Ober - probably because I couldn't take my eyes of Alicia Coppola.

Yep. I told a guy I work with about Remote Control and he looked at me like I just took my dentures out to clean them.
