Remember "Remote Control"? Wasn't Jimmy Kimmell on that show?
I remember Remote Control. Great show. Classic MTV of the mid-80's to take the tired game show format and mock it while using it at the same time. The host was not Jimmy Kimmel but Ken Ober with Colin Quinn as his sidekick. The wonderful Kari Wuhrer was my favorite host/vixen. I read later that Ober and Quinn would expose themselves while the show was taping to try and get a reaction out of Wuhrer.
I also read that Ober and Quinn asked for more money and got fired, or something like that. The supposedly counter-culture MTV is very much about making money, which is probably why they pioneered the reality show. |
