Comedian

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He was discovered on Star Search.
    He appeared in commercials for Jenga and videos by Blues Traveler.
    He recalled, 'I was in a supermarket line reading 'TV Guide,' and it said 'Ken Ober, comma, TV game show host.' And I said, 'Oh no, I'm a game show host.''
    In a twist on the usual internet death rumor, initial reports of his death were widely dismissed as a hoax only to turn out to be true.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He idolized Bob Barker and Bob Eubanks growing up.
    He co-hosted a radio show with former Brady Bunch actress Susan Olsen.
    He died suddenly a day after complaining of flu-like symptoms.
    Adam Sandler called him 'one of the sharpest, quickest, sweetest guys I ever met' and Denis Leary said 'Kenny Ober was and always will be the quickest wit in the room.'
