Fans of the classic MTV game show Remote Control might possibly remember a segment of the program called “Dead or Alive?” (Click here and cue the video to the 7:35 mark.) Unfortunately, I don’t think host Ken Ober ever imagined he might one day become the subject of a similar question.

During a recent interview with comedian Colin Quinn, Good Day New York‘s Greg Kelly made the mistake of asking Quinn what his Remote Control buddy was up to these days. (Answer: Ober died last November.)

Cue the video to the awkwardness.
