Damn. 52 is too young. 

"Remote Control" is also the show that introduced us to Adam Sandler.

And Colin Quinn.

Yikes - I hate reading about deaths of people from my generation.

I loved that show!

and, iirc, wasn't he a one-time Star Search champion in comedy?  I think that's how he knew Sandler & Leary.
