After the passing of Remote Control’s Kenny Ober this weekend, two of the comedians who got their starts on the show have spoken out. Adam Sandler and Denis Leary both got started on the MTV game show.

[Adam] Sandler says, “Ken Ober was one of the sharpest, quickest, sweetest guys I ever met. He was always a great friend and I will miss him very much”.

And [Denis] Leary echoed his pal’s sentiments, adding, “Kenny Ober was and always will be the quickest wit in the room. As the star and host of Remote Control, he was a welcoming ringmaster who helped to kickstart the careersof numerous talents, including Adam Sandler, Colin Quinn and myself. “He will be remembered always by each of his friends not only for his massive talent but for his true, deep and enduring friendship”.
