Game Show Host, Entertainer. He was most widely known for his role on the MTV game show Remote Control, which he hosted for five seasons spanning 1987 to 1990. He was known amongst '90s and '00s audiences for his hosting jobs on Make Me Laugh, Smush, and a relatively obscure ESPN game show called Perfect Match. In 1995, he 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. In 2002, he served as supervising producer for Colin Quinn's Tough Crowd with actor/comedian Colin Quinn, which was a reunion of sorts as Quinn was the announcer on Remote Control. He was also a guest on one episode. Ober starred in the Blues Traveler video for the song "Hook". He also had a smaller role in the same band's video for "Run-Around". He also served as a producer for the CBS comedy The New Adventures of Old Christine, and he is known for a series of Jenga commercials.
