Ken Ober, the comedian best-known for hosting MTV's late-'80s game show "Remote Control," has died.

Mark Measures, an agent at Abrams Artists Agency who worked with Ober, tells KTLA that the 52-year old was found dead at his Santa Monica home on Sunday.

Ober was last heard from on Saturday night, when he spoke to a friend and complained of a headache and flu-like symptoms.

The cause of death appears to be from natural causes, Measures said. "There weren't any obvious signs of foul play," he told KTLA.

The TV-obsessed game show aired on MTV from 1987-89 and featured such categories as "Brady Physics" and "Dead or Canadian."

It also helped introduce Adam Sandler to the world; he worked as a writer on the show (so did Denis Leary) and played the recurring on-screen characters Trivia Delinquent and Stud Boy.

Ober had worked as writer and producer on Comedy Central's "Mind of Mencia" in recent years and also did a stint as a consulting producer on "The New Adventures of Old Christine" in 2006.

He also worked behind the camera on his friend and "Remote Control" announcer Colin Quinn's show "Tough Crowd" earlier in the decade.
