Bob Saget, the longtime stand-up comedian who starred in
the long-running sitcom Full House, has died, TMZ reports. Police confirmed he was found dead Sunday in an Orlando, Florida hotel room. He had just performed shows in Florida as part of a stand-up tour. Saget’s cause of death is currently unknown. He was 65.
Saget had two opposing public-facing personalities. He starred as the wholesome Full House (and Fuller House) patriarch Danny Tanner, appearing in the late ’80s and early ’90s sitcom alongside John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Ashley Olsen. As a stand-up comedian, he famously told raunchy jokes.
He was a long-running host of America’s Home Videos, served as the narrator of How I Met Your Mother, and had a memorable cameo in Half Baked. His Comedy Central roast featured one of the late Norm Macdonald’s most iconic performances

God bless you and his family always!!!

I can't believe Bob Saget is gone. I loved working with him on Full House. He was a good guy. My heart goes out to his wife Kelly and his daughters: Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer. Rest in peace Bob. Keep making them laugh. Red heart #DannyTanner #bobsaget

Merry24 01-09-2022, 09:22 PM My hearts and prayers go to Mr.Sagets Family and Friends and cast and crew on Full House & Fuller House.
Bob Saget was my Weekend as a kid. Starting on Friday’s with Full House. Americans Funniest Home Videos Ending my Weekend on Sunday’s. He was funny on To Grandmother’s House We Go Holiday Movie.
Hopefully some network can air a Full House Marathon.
Bonniegirl 01-09-2022, 09:34 PM OMG !! Very shocking !:eek: He was way too young !! No more!:( So many famous people passing away recently!! :confused:
May he rest in peace, prayers to his family, friends and fans !
JO Sweet Heart 01-09-2022, 10:23 PM To me, he may have had the best line of the whole series. After Comet the dog entered the picture, Kimmy asked him, "Have you ever thought about obedient school?" Danny's answer was, "Yes and tell your parents that I am willing to pay half." :D :D :D
God bless you and his family always!!!
Holly
P.S. I love watching him play guitar during the show, especially here during the final season.

I really think they should.

Bob Saget dies at 65 (https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/09/bob-saget-dead-dies-hotel-comedian-full-house/)
The legendary comedian and actor, best known for playing iconic sitcom dad Danny Tanner (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6lZGsZTIr0) on Full House and for being the original host of America's Funniest Home Videos, was found dead Sunday morning at his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, reports TMZ. The Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed Saget's death, tweeting: "Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case." (https://twitter.com/OrangeCoSheriff/status/1480340290917609473?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1480340290917609473%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fox35orlando.com%2Fnews%2Fdeputies-comedian-actor-bob-saget-found-dead-inside-orlando-hotel-room) "The Sheriff's Department and the fire department responded to the hotel around 4 PM ET ... after hotel security had found Bob in his room," TMZ reports. "We're told he was pronounced dead on the scene, but the circumstances of his death are still unclear. Bob's been touring the country lately, hitting a lot of destinations throughout the state of Florida, including in Orlando, which got started in September and was supposed to take him through May." Saget tweeted early Sunday morning (https://twitter.com/bobsaget/status/1480097652851286017). In an Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYgKvadOAJ8/) also posted early Sunday morning, Saget wrote: "I guess I’m finding my new voice and loving every moment of it. A’ight, see you in two weeks Jan. 28 & 29 @pbimprov (https://www.instagram.com/pbimprov/) with my brother @therealmikeyoung - And check BobSaget.com for my dates in 2022 – – Goin’ everywhere until I get the special shot. And then probably keep going cause I’m addicted to this sh*t. Peace out." In addition to starring on Full House and reprising his Danny Tanner role on Fuller House, Saget was also served as narrator on How I Met Your Mother and starred in 2001-2002 The WB sitcom Raising Dad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajq8at71r_Q), playing the father to future stars Kat Dennings and Brie Larson. He also played a dark and sleazy version of himself on Entourage. Saget's death comes four months after he delivered an emotional 37-minute tribute to Norm Macdonald (https://deadline.com/2021/09/bob-saget-norm-macdonald-video-tribute-roast-1234838094/), his good friend, whom he directed in the 1998 film Dirty Work. Saget was so well-regarded he starred in the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget in 2008, with close friend and Full House co-star John Stamos serving as roastmaster. "There was simply no better guy," (https://twitter.com/CarterBays/status/1480344917150875649) tweeted HIMYM co-creator Carter Bays. "He was the best. Sending love to the many, many, many people who are heartbroken right now. I can't think of anyone whose memory will be more of a blessing."
ALSO:
John Stamos reacts to the death of his good friend Bob Saget (https://twitter.com/JohnStamos/status/1480354937267576833): "I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock," Stamos tweeted of his Full House co-star. "I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby."
Candace Cameron Bure says "I have no words" in reaction to her Full House dad's death (https://twitter.com/candacecbure/status/1480366648603275264): "I don’t know what to say," Bure, who appeared on Saget's podcast last April, tweeted with a broken heart emoji. "Bob was one of the best humans beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much."
Jason Alexander, Gilbert Gottfried, Norman Lear, Kathy Griffin, Jon Stewart, America's Funniest Home Videos, Comedy Central and more pay tribute to Bob Saget (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bob-saget-dead-celeb-tributes-1235072049/): "I know that people lose loved ones, good people, every day. No one gets a pass," tweeted Alexander (https://twitter.com/IJasonAlexander/status/1480352669688422403). "But the loss of Bob Saget hits deep. If you didn’t know him, he was kind and dear and cared about people deeply. He was the definition of 'a good egg'. Too soon he leaves." Joel McHale (https://twitter.com/joelmchale/status/1480341925106360322) called him "one of the most kind & thoughtful people I’ve ever come across & he just happened to be one of the funniest on the planet. I will miss you so much Bob. Love you dear friend." Kat Dennings (https://twitter.com/OfficialKat/status/1480343769400557569) tweeted of her Raising Dad father: "Oh god. Bob Saget!!! The loveliest man. I was his TV daughter for one season and he was always so kind and protective. So so sorry for his family." Ken Jeong (https://twitter.com/kenjeong/status/1480361137304604672) added: "Everyone loved him in the community. EVERYONE. Really good guy like everyone says & if you did even a small favor for him he would be so grateful and appreciative even it wasn’t much. In tears typing this, he was that genuine and the world should know that. Love you @bobsaget."
Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget showed how much he was beloved in the comedy community (https://www.thedailybeast.com/bob-sagets-legendary-roast-proved-how-much-comedians-loved-him): "The vast majority of casual fans who hear that Bob Saget was tragically found dead at 65 in a Florida hotel room on Sunday will think only of his most famous role as Danny Tanner, the lovable single father of three on the family-friendly ‘90s sitcom Full House—and its recent, equally saccharine reboot Fuller House," says Matt Wilstein. "Or maybe as that guy who made silly voices on America’s Funniest Home Videos. But to comedy fanatics like me—and especially to comedians—Saget was known as one of the filthiest and most hilarious stand-up comics of all time. It was the inadvertent irony of his long career that he became best known for entertaining children when his true sensibility was extremely adult. And nowhere was this style more fully on display than in his Comedy Central Roast in 2008 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FXDqz3d_mk). On that night, his Full House co-star John Stamos served as an affable roastmaster, but it was Saget’s contemporaries Greg Giraldo, Gilbert Gottfried and especially Norm Macdonald who stole the show."

Seriously. I'm so sad about this.

Given how utterly reclusive they've become, I'm genuinely shocked that even the Olsen twins (https://people.com/tv/bob-saget-dead-dies-mary-kate-and-ashley-olsen-twins-full-house/) have released (https://people.com/tv/bob-saget-dead-dies-mary-kate-and-ashley-olsen-twins-full-house/) a statement (https://www.reddit.com/r/fullhouse/comments/s0c836/candace_cameron_bure_dave_coulier_and_marykate/).

With the news being the form of news that it is, I am not surprised. Losing someone who helped raise them is as bad as it gets. Actually, the cast member who I am the most worried about is Jodie Sweetin. She has been clean from her drugs and alcohol past since December of 2008. May she continue to make her TV dad proud of her.
God bless you and each remaining cast member always!!!

Lori has now issued a statement:

P.S. Jodie Sweetin and Scott Weinger (Steve) are the only people now of the main cast who haven't said anything. The boys who gave us Nicki and Alex haven't come forward yet either, but of course, they don't remember as much and so I don't know if anything will come from them or not.

JO Sweet Heart 01-10-2022, 06:53 PM Jodie Sweetin appeared on this season's Celebrity Wheel of Fortune airing on ABC. She seemed normal there.
But now is when it may get harder for her. One of my most favorite male singers is a recovering alcoholic and his second rehab stint took place the year that his dad went forward in 2014. His first time in rehab was in late 2002 and so he was clean for over a decade before succumbing to temptation, country singer Trace Adkins that is.
God bless you and him and Jodie always!!!

Full House creator and stars release a joint statement honoring Bob Saget (https://people.com/tv/full-house-cast-releases-joint-statement-honoring-bob-saget-after-his-death/)
"Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family," read the statement (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYj8-dKvXmk/) from John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, Scott Weinger, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and creator Jeff Franklin. "Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob." ALSO: Saget's touring partner Mike Young tells how the late comedian would like to be remembered (https://www.eonline.com/news/1315856/how-bob-saget-would-love-to-be-remembered-according-to-touring-partner-mike-young).
Full House creator Jeff Franklin: "I wrote the role of Danny Tanner for my friend Bob Saget" (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjcqjKr74s)
Franklin paid tribute to Saget, who died Sunday at age 65, writing on Instagram: 'I wrote the role of Danny Tanner for my friend Bob Saget. The character was kind, genuine, neurotic, a bit nerdy, a hugger with a heart of gold, and endearingly funny. That was Bob. And the x-rated sense of humor that was left out of Full House. But Bob’s charm and love-ability was the reason people embraced Danny Tanner. It was my joyful honor to be a brother of Bob’s for 42 years. Comedy icon and exceptional human being. Your spirit and your work will live on. Love you Bob." Franklin previously worked with Saget when he was a warm-up comedian on Bosom Buddies. But Saget was the second actor to play Danny Tanner. The original pilot starred John Posey (https://screenrant.com/full-house-danny-recast-bob-saget-john-posey/) as Danny Tanner because Saget had signed up to star in a CBS show called The Morning Program. When Saget suddenly he became available, he took over the Danny Tanner role.
ALSO:
Jodie Sweetin recalls her favorite memories of working with Bob Saget on Full House (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjtDP2Jthh/): "There aren’t enough words to express what I’m feeling today," Sweetin began a lengthy Instagram post. "Nor are they big enough to capture even a slice of who he was. One thing I do know, is that we never missed a chance to tell each other, 'I love you'. Every time we talked, there were at least 3 or 4 exchanged at the end of a conversation, whether it was text, phone call or in person. And he usually had to have the last word, 'I love you more…' There are so many songs that I hear of and think of him… he introduced me to some of my favorite music through the years. Talking comedy bits with him. The love of standup and comedy history he shared. The hundreds of inside jokes we all had, the kind that only a family knows and that nobody else will ever understand or think is funny. Notes sessions on the show, sitting and laughing all together at the kitchen table on set. He and Dave dancing together at my 13th Birthday party, being ridiculous, as usual. Spending weekends at his house with his daughters when I was young, and having blueberry pancakes..." Sweetin also vowed to tell an inappropriate joke at Saget's funeral.
Lori Loughlin says "Bob was more than my friend, he was my family" (https://people.com/tv/bob-saget-dead-lori-loughlin-speaks-out-he-was-my-family/): "I will miss his kind heart and quick wit," Loughlin said in a statement of her former Full House co-star. "Thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories and laughter. I love you Bobby."
Andrea Barber says "this one hurts" (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiiTZnrLC_/): "He had the biggest heart of anyone in Hollywood," Barber wrote of her Full House co-star. "He gave the biggest hugs. I am gutted that I will never be able to hug him again. Bob ended every text, every interaction with 'Love you.' Didn’t matter how long or short we’d been apart. He loved so deeply and so fiercely. And he never hesitated to tell you just how much you meant to him. This is the greatest lesson I learned from Bob Saget - don’t hesitate to tell people you love them. I feel at peace knowing that Bob knew exactly how much I adore him."
Full House's Scott Weinger says Saget was like a big brother (https://twitter.com/ScottWeinger/status/1480568592450031618): "Nobody ever made me laugh harder, the kind of laughter where your ribs are sore the next day," he tweeted. "He was also a wonderful human being who never missed a chance to say "I love you" to the people he cared about."
Josh Radnor: "Bob Saget was the older wiser ‘me' for nine years on How I Met Your Mother" (https://twitter.com/JoshRadnor/status/1480383567985184768): "He was the kindest, loveliest, funniest, most supportive man. The easiest person to be around. A mensch among mensches," tweeted Radnor, who shared the Ted Mosby role with Saget. "I had so much imposter syndrome when HIMYM started, thought I’d be found out, kicked off set & sent home. When I'd run into Bob on the Fox lot in those early days he'd gush over my performance & tell me how he was studying me to make sure his vocal performance felt right. This man that I’d delighted in seeing on TV for years cheering me on, letting me know I had a right to be there and playing that character... I can’t overstate how meaningful his words were. (He also, true to form, told me jokes that I cannot tell here or in polite company.) We had a very special bond from Day 1, were never out of touch for long. We found a way to grab dinner once a year, even after HIMYM wrapped. We went to see each other in our Broadway plays. We talked a lot about how to live a meaningful life amidst all the chaos."
Alyson Hannigan recalls when she worked as Saget's babysitter as a teenager (https://twitter.com/alydenisof/status/1480593110555971585): "One of my fav memories of Bob was when I was babysitting his daughter," she tweeted of her HIMYM co-star. "I was 15 & couldn’t get her to sleep/stop crying. Bob came home, took her in his arms, played a Tracy Chapman song & danced with her until she fell asleep. He was a wonderful Dad and human #RipBobSaget Love u."
Pete Davidson says Saget helped him deal with mental health struggles (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYj0glzOYaM/): "Just wanted you guys to know that Bob Saget was one of the nicest men on the planet," he wrote on Instagram. When I was younger and several times throughout our friendship he helped me get through some rough mental health stuff. He stayed on the phone with my mom for hours trying to help in anyway he can - connecting us with doctors and new things we can try. He would check in on me and make sure I was okay. I love you Bob it was an honor to know you. Thank you for your kindness and friendship."
Inside Bob Saget's final standup show Saturday night (https://www.eonline.com/news/1315779/inside-bob-saget-s-final-stand-up-show-before-his-death): One attendee said he seemed "very humbled by the fact that so many people were there to see him."

On a podcast last week, Saget discussed battling COVID (but he didn't clarify when) (https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/10/bob-saget-recently-had-covid-sick-before-death/)
Saget was found dead by Ritz Carlton housekeeping an hour after his checkout time (https://people.com/tv/bob-saget-discovered-dead-by-housekeeping-after-missing-his-hotel-check-out-source/): A source tells People that the room was neat, with no signs of trauma, and Saget's bags were packed by the door.
An autopsy found no evidence of drugs or foul play (https://people.com/tv/bob-saget-dead-autopsy-completed/): "An autopsy was performed this morning on Robert Lane Saget. Mr. Saget is a 65-year-old male, who was found unresponsive in his hotel room. At this time, there is no evidence of drug use or foul play," Joshua Stephany, the chief medical examiner of Orange and Osceola Counties, said in a press release. "The cause and manner of death are pending further studies and investigation which may take up to 10-12 weeks to complete. Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget's loved ones during this difficult time."

From Marla Sokoloff (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjlEtXFFt9/) (Gia (https://fullhouse.fandom.com/wiki/Gia_Mahan)):
My very first episode of Full House was also one of the most memorable. I was walking back to my dressing room after rehearsal, when I heard a voice inviting me to have dinner with the cast. It was Bob. I couldn’t believe it. As he drove us to Jerry’s Deli, I remember sitting in the back seat with @jodiesweetin, while Freedy Johnston’s Bad Reputation played at full blast through his car speakers.
Every time I saw him thereafter, his genuine kindness was ever present. It was a solid through line of his personality. That was just who he was.
One of a kind, always for the laugh, but managed to do it with a whole lot of heart. You will be missed by so many, Bob. Sending so much love to my Full & Fuller House family, your three girls and Kelly. 🖤Xox

#RipBobSaget Broken heart
Bob Saget delivered one of the great postmodern performances as America’s Funniest Home Videos host (https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/bob-saget-rip)
On America's Funniest Home Videos, Saget was "a raunchy comedian trapped in an endless 'family-friendly' montage of nut shots, begging hack writers to save him," says Miles Klee, in a tribute to the late comedian and actor, who died on Sunday at age 65. "For AFHV, Saget was required, like on Full House, to present a harmless side, guiding the audience from one catastrophe to the next, the smiling, PG-rated emcee for a thousand compilations of testicular injury," says Klee. "The producers added wacky sound effects to each snippet, but none could match Saget’s wry narration and color commentary. And then, between videos, it would be just Saget, standing in the liminal nightmare of a half-finished living room set, doing a Beckett-level postmodern performance of the guy who made a Faustian bargain in Hollywood. On the surface, he became all slick charisma, but underneath, there was a gorgeous strain of sardonic self-loathing, arched-eyebrow smarm and can-you-believe-this-sh*t winking. His attitude ranked among the most subversive stuff on network TV at the time. Where Garry Shandling had sledgehammered the fourth wall with It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Larry Sanders Show, Saget secretly embodied the duality of being one person and playing another, or showed that such contradiction is the truth. He’s remembered by his fellow comics as one of the kindest in the business, and this, no doubt, is how he wound up doing Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos — he realized you could justify your naughtiness by being, actually, nice."
ALSO:
An emotional Jimmy Kimmel struggled to hold back the tears in his late-night tribute to Bob Saget (https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/jimmy-kimmel-bob-saget-monologue-1235150970/): “I’m sorry, I taped this like 14 times,” Kimmel said in his Jimmy Kimmel Live! tribute to Saget (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPBKhqe5Bhs) that he decided to tape without an audience. Kimmel noted that Saget was special not because of Full House or his standup comedy, but because of who he was as a person. “Bob was the sweetest," said Kimmel. "He was the sweetest man. I have so many wonderfully kind and supportive texts and emails and calls from Bob. He always had a compliment. He’d write sometimes just to tell me he loved me and I know he did that for many people… He had something funny to say about everything and nothing bad to say about anyone. Never.”
Danny Tanner's hugs were a key part of Saget's Full House character (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2022-01-10/bob-saget-full-house-fuller-house-danny-tanner): "Bob Saget was 30 years old when he gave his first hug as Danny Tanner, the clean-freak, embrace-prone widower raising three daughters with his best friend and brother-in-law in ABC’s Full House," says Yvonne Villareal. "He’d give roughly 10 trillion more from 1987 until the show’s end in 1994: Before 'virtual hugs' became part of the text lexicon, there was Danny Tanner on TV. Though there were plenty of beloved TV dads before him, and plenty since, it’s hard to overestimate how Saget’s displays of affection on Full House, beamed into the living rooms of millions of homes, soothed a generation of young viewers — even the cool ones who mocked the corniness." Ahead of the 2016 premiere of Fuller House, Saget said of Danny Tanner showing affection: “I didn’t know I was being called the biggest geek in the world while it was happening or that I would be revered as the guy who loved hugging. I came up with that. I made him a hugger. That was one of my contributions.”
Saget's filthiness as a standup comedy makes his acting work on Full House even more stellar (https://www.vulture.com/article/the-filth-and-kindness-of-bob-saget.html): "The Full House projects added another dimension to what had become Saget’s public persona, but they didn’t erase his association with Danny Tanner, approachable sportscaster and caring father," says Jen Chaney. "If anything, they made it possible to appreciate what he did on Full House more because it was so far afield from his own instincts as a comic. The most important quality that Saget needed to bring to Danny wasn’t quick-wittedness or perfect timing, though Saget had both. It was sincerity. No matter how corny the dialogue or situations he found himself in, it was imperative that the audience believe Danny was a genuinely good man raising his daughters with supreme love and care in a land where the filthiest jokes were 'Oh Mylanta!' and 'You got it, dude.' As goofy as Full House could be, a lot of kids — maybe kids who had negligent dads or no dads at all — watched it and saw, in Saget’s version of fatherhood, a model of parenthood that brought them comfort for a half-hour a week. There was value in that. Saget certainly saw that value, too, as evidenced by his enthusiastic participation in the Fuller House reboot that ran on Netflix from 2016–2020. While Saget was obviously acting when he played Danny, the affection and sincerity he displayed in both series didn’t seem like a stretch. They seemed like an extension of who he was."
Saget embodied contradictions with his bawdy standup act (https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2022/01/bob-saget-obituary-comedy/621216): "Yet through them, he was perhaps entertainment’s consummate father figure," says Amanda Wicks. "Many kids grow up understanding their parents from one perspective, only to realize, in time, that moms and dads have desires, needs, and even personalities outside of the expected strictures. Saget was a reminder that humans are so much more than any one script. We do—and can and should—play all sorts of roles."
Saget's dirty mouth was a wholesome gift (https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/01/10/bob-saget-dad-dirty-jokes/): "There was something wonderful about the shocking way a straight-laced TV sitcom father could turn into the Dostoevsky of filth," says Travis M. Andrews, adding: "All this kindness — both the golly gee television persona and the grace he showed in his private life — only served to sharpen the blade of his comedy. It felt incongruous watching Saget, knowing twinkle in his eye, say the most disgusting things imaginable. It didn’t make sense. It was like watching a cat bark or a dog meow. Even when you expected him to tell a dirty joke, there was always some part of your brain thinking, Oh my God, that’s Danny Tanner!"
Entourage creator Doug Ellin recalls enlisting Saget to play a hooker-loving womanizer (https://nypost.com/2022/01/10/bob-sagets-jokes-about-drugs-and-sex-were-rooted-in-tragedy/): “We had lunch and he said, ‘I’ll do anything you say except for play broke. Hookers or drugs? Yeah, that’s fine. But I don’t want to be broke,'" says Ellin, who described Saget as “gracious, sweet and incredibly smart.” “There was no sensitivity to anything else, but being successful was important to him."
George Wallace remembers his four-decade-plus friendship with Saget (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/george-wallace-bob-saget-tribute-1235072639/): "Bob was my friend for more than 42 years," says Wallace. "To truly honor him, fight the sadness and come with the laughter. It was his gift to find humor in darkness. Trust me, he’d already have a joke written about you. He always had a smile, the best smile — I recommended my dentist to him, and the rest is history. We got a chance (in August 2020) to reminisce when I did his podcast (Bob Saget’s Here for You), and we shared some of our favorite moments as we were coming up in comedy in the early days. We also talked about the weight of the world. He was always conscious and wanted to bring mankind forward and help make the world better. We both just wanted to put a smile on people’s faces. Only Bob Saget would go die in the Happiest Place on Earth. Good one, you twisted mofo. Hey, Bob, I’m already missing you. Forward your heaven Hmail.com address ASAP. Love you, my friend!"
Tom Bergeron says when he hosted America's Funniest Home Videos, Saget was especially supportive (https://www.etonline.com/tom-bergeron-emotionally-recalls-moments-with-bob-saget-hosting-americas-funniest-home-videos): Saget showed up for AMFV's 20th anniversary and for Bergeron's final day. "It meant the world to me," Bergeron told E.T. of Saget's support. "A couple years prior to that, when the video show was having its 20th anniversary, I said to Vin Di Bona, the executive producer, I said, 'We have to get Bob for that.' So we were already friends at that point and I have to admit, I really worked him hard. I went to one of his Scleroderma Foundation benefits and wooed him a lot. He was still somewhat hesitant and he had a sitcom on ABC briefly ... and the network asked if I would do promos with Bob, which I was happy to do but I figured here's my attempt to blackmail him. So I said, 'All right, Bobby, I will do the promos but you've got to do the 20th anniversary special with me,' and he finally relented and it turned out to be just a wonderful episode that the team titled 'The Summit With Saget.' And I told Bob, I said, 'Listen, look. You just do whatever you do. I will get us to the videos, I will get us to the commercial breaks.' If you see that show, you see me just laughing, just spending the hour just enjoying that lovable lunatic that he was."

Conan O'Brien posts his 2007 Full House San Francisco Late Night sightseeing tour with Saget (https://twitter.com/ConanOBrien/status/1480729465357541376): "I’m seeing so many lovely memories of Bob today," Conan tweeted. "He was extraordinarily sweet, genuine, and always generous with his talent. My heartfelt sympathy to Bob’s family and his fans all around the world."

80sTrivia 01-11-2022, 10:16 AM Wow.... so many tributes for Bob coming from all across the industry. I suppose most of us just loved him as Danny Tanner and the amiable host of AFV, but obviously within the industry he was absolutely adored and loved...

JO Sweet Heart 01-11-2022, 04:55 PM I absolutely don't know for sure if this is actually Ashley Olsen posting this on Twitter since it's not verified (https://twitter.com/sisterolsen/status/1480355338188558336):
The reason why I don't believe that is really Ashley is because pictures of Mary-Kate are at the top of the page.

John Stamos on Bob Saget: "I'm not ready to accept that he's gone — I'm not going to say goodbye yet" (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYlTU5dL_0H/)
Stamos paid an emotional tribute to his Full House co-star and close friend in an emotional Instagram post early this morning. "I'm not ready to accept that he's gone - I'm not going to say goodbye yet," Stamos wrote. "I'm going to imagine him out there, still on the road, doing what he loves with all his heart and humor. He's standing on stage, killing! Another two-hour set in front of a couple hundred of the luckiest people on the planet. They're laughing so hard, they weep. On his way to the hotel, he calls his beautiful, loving wife, Kelly. He says he feels 26 again, alive! Then asks her to fix up a picture he wants to post. She tells him it doesn't need fixing, and tells him how handsome he is. He tells her he loves her with every bit of his heart. And when he gets to the hotel to put his head on the pillow, he misses his daughters, his family, his friends. God, he loves us all so much. And he goes to sleep dreaming of when we'll all meet again - and he's smiling. I know in my heart he's smiling, still hearing the laughter from a few hours before. I'm just not ready to say goodbye yet. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe." ALSO: Jeff Ross shares that some of Saget's friends gathered Monday to mourn in "Bob's kitchen crying, eating and even laughing."

JO Sweet Heart 01-12-2022, 10:14 PM I could be wrong, but I believe that it is the season six episode named Lovers and Other Tanners where Danny says to D.J. at one point, "Don't go too fast." :crying: :crying: :crying:
God bless you and everyone who loved him always!!!

P.S. I will admit that I haven't seen the Fuller House show past the first episode yet even though I do have the show on DVD. With Bob being gone, I don't know if I will ever watch it now. It was either Entertainment Tonight or the Inside Edition show that put a clip of that show out there and Danny was shown in it cleaning with one of D.J.'s kids, her middle one I believe it is. :crying: :crying: :crying:
Bob Saget's death has struck a particular chord among many immigrants and children of immigrants (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/bob-saget-full-house-immigrant-kids_n_61de0c4fe4b01288e2b06f2b)
"For generations, immigrant kids have often looked to TV shows to pick up colloquialisms, figure out what to wear and other aspects of American life that our immigrant parents couldn’t teach us," says Marina Fang. Full House, in particular, helped immigrant kids learn English and about kindness. “It’s hard to raise a child in a country that you weren’t raised in before,” says Sammy Parvatini, a college student, who watched Full House with her immigrant parents from India. “My parents basically got an insight from Full House to know, like, ‘OK, this is how it works.’” For Dave Chan, whose family immigrated from Hong Kong to the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid-80s when he was 7, Full House helped to demystify American culture. “Here I am at school, getting picked on a lot for looking different, not speaking English well," he says. "But then I would still have people that were kind to me. I just couldn’t relate to this new culture that well. Watching this family, I think I was too young to understand the premise of the show. I just thought it was an American family. This is what they do, and here’s a cool uncle, and here’s a cool friend.” He remembered feeling a connection to Saget, who radiated warmth as patriarch Danny Tanner. “The way he spoke was very intentional and slow and deliberate, and he seemed to spend a lot of time trying his best,” Chan said. “It turns out he’s like that in real life. I think it was the way he spoke that was so eloquent to me. And even not knowing the language as a kid, I don’t know. I was drawn to it.” Chan added: “I never thought of him as white, for some reason. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because he seemed like a father figure to me. I never thought of him as this white guy. It was just like, ‘I know him.’”
ALSO:
Drew Carey recalls Bob Saget mentoring him (https://www.etonline.com/drew-carey-shares-memories-of-being-mentored-by-bob-saget-during-his-early-days-in-comedy-exclusive): "I met him when I first started out, quite a few times, at a local comedy club in Cleveland," Carey recalled to E.T. "Once, he invited me to a taping a Full House when I was out here in L.A., and it's one of the reasons I missed my first Tonight Show (performance). That invitation to go see the taping, in some kind of weird way, really affected much of my career. He was very supportive and mentored me and gave me advice and was always so kind to me and nice." Carey remembered how, before he was ever a working comic himself, he would go see Saget do stand-up and it was an amazing experience. "I would just go as a customer and seeing him when he was there, and he would pack the place because he had such a good rep," Carey recalled. "Once he was there once, everybody wanted to come back and see him again. And I've seen him do two hour shows, two-and-a-half hour shows. I've once seen him do five curtain calls, five standing ovations... He was so funny."
Candace Cameron Bure shares a lengthy tribute to her TV dad (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYmxZ8KP6m-): "Oh, Bob. Why’d you have to leave us so soon?" she wrote on Instagram. "We are all family, but you were the glue. The sticky, messy, squishy, sweet, lovable glue. My childhood is wrapped up in you, my formative teenaged years and the rest of adulthood. You taught me to feel deeply at such a young age. You were never afraid or ashamed to share your emotions, to cry, to love, to laugh and say it out loud. We’ve always been so deeply connected since the day we met when I was 10 years old. You weren’t just like a father, but one of my closest friends in life. This hurts like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I love you, I love you, I love you. You knew that. I knew that. But I have to say it again. I want one more hug. I want one more text that says, “oh, btw, it’s me Bob” after a long rant. I want one more laugh. I want to roll my eyes at you one more time. I want you to tell me to watch something but then tell me maybe I shouldn’t because of my faith. You were always so protective of me, and cared about everything. And everybody. You were the best. You were… Bob. There will never be another like you. I wish you could see the outpouring of love you have. You’ve certainly left a beautiful legacy in kindness, compassion, loyalty, generosity, and love."
What it was like opening for Bob Saget on the road and being his "underwear guy" (https://defector.com/i-was-bob-sagets-underwear-guy/): "Comics are known for being socially awkward and aloof when we’re offstage, so my method was to always give the headliner his or her space when I first met them," says Chip Chantry. "But Bob did not want space. When we were first introduced in that Portland green room, he was laboring over his phone. Without getting into details—even now I’m sure he wouldn’t want anyone to feel bad—he wanted to block someone on Twitter, but he didn’t want to hurt this person’s feelings. He immediately explained the delicate situation, and asked for my advice. Wait, Danny Tanner, legendary advice-giver, wanted my advice? At first, I did not want to interfere. But he genuinely wanted my opinion, so I gave it to him. Once we put out his Twitter fire, Bob wanted to know everything about me. There wasn’t much to tell. I was (and let’s face it, still am) a relatively unknown comedian from Bob’s hometown of Philadelphia. But for the rest of that week, Bob made me feel like we were best friends. Every night after the shows we’d go out for dinner and drinks. That’s where I learned that Bob had a lot of best friends. Whoever was talking to him, whether it was a fan, a waiter, or a celebrity who came to the show, he was completely engaged in the conversation. It looked exhausting. But he did it effortlessly. He treated every conversation like it was the most fascinating exchange he’d ever taken part in." He adds: "Friendship is a two-way street, though. I opened for Bob at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This show was the end of a two-week road trip for Bob, and he was short on clean laundry. An hour before showtime, Bob called asking if I could do him a huge favor, and go down to the casino mall to buy him some underwear. He couldn’t go down there, because he’d be swarmed. But I, he said without saying, was completely unknown, so I’d be fine."
Rebecca Romijn remembers being an "extended Full House family member" when she was married to John Stamos (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYpAjEglhd3/): Romijn also remembered Bob Saget directing her in her first film, Dirty Work, in which she played Drunken Bearded Lady opposite Norm Macdonald. "Working along side these geniuses was an honor of a lifetime," she wrote on Instagram. "The one-two punch of these two exits, as well as Saint Betty, is hitting hard."
Deon Cole didn't know Bob Saget when Saget sent him a text message last September offering him condolences over his mom passing (https://people.com/tv/black-ish-deon-cole-shares-heartfelt-message-bob-saget-sent-him-after-mom-died/)

Celebs Who Refuse To Use Social Media (https://www.nickiswift.com/733553/celebs-who-refuse-to-use-social-media/)
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are private people
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were arguably the biggest child stars of their time. The twins' role as Michelle Tanner on "Full House" solidified their spot in Hollywood as incredibly famous kid actors — a spot neither of them actually wanted. Over the years, the secluded sisters have made it very clear that they have no plans of returning to television. The Olsen twins opened up about why they stepped away from the spotlight in their adult years. "I don't have to be a pretty face. I've done that, but now it's important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore," Ashley told Elle UK (via E! News (https://www.eonline.com/news/299391/ashley_olsen_will_never_act_again_i#ixzz1oYrR3rww)).
The "other side of the lens" Ashley is referring to is her work for her fashion line with sister Mary-Kate called "The Row." According to i-D (https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/jg8gk8/mary-kate-and-ashley-olsen-interview), the twins began this line at age 18 in an attempt to work behind the scenes rather than in front of the camera. Ashley explained that she didn't want her and Mary-Kate's stardom to be associated with the brand. "We didn't want to be in front of it, we didn't necessarily even want to let people know it was us," Ashley told i-D. "It was really about the product, to the point where we were like: Who could we get to front this so that we don't have to?" Mary-Kate told the outlet that the twins were "discrete people." As stars who aren't interested in being the face of their own brand, their absence from social media is not out of character at all.
JO Sweet Heart 01-13-2022, 08:57 PM ^^^ What is said about Mary-Kate and Ashley's fashion line reminds me of when country act named Little Big Town first sang their last big song named "Better Man" in 2016. It wasn't shared until sometime later that Taylor Swift was the songwriter.

P.S. I lost an uncle last summer and my being sick with the Covid condition is what sealed the deal on my not getting to be at his funeral. I was able to see some of it online, but of course that isn't the same as getting to be there for real.

From Bob Saget to Betty White, there is a unique intimacy to a TV star's death (https://www.vox.com/2022/1/14/22880578/tv-star-death-intimacy-betty-white-bob-saget)
"There is an intimacy to the death of the TV star that I’m not sure quite exists with the deaths of other artists," says Emily VanDerWerff of the recent deaths of iconic TV stars Saget and White. "When a musician or a movie star dies, we might be gutted, sure, but our popular culture places those figures up on a pedestal in ways that make them ever so slightly unapproachable. Bruce Springsteen is my favorite living rock star; I’d never think to consider him my dad. It’s just different with TV. Especially in the era when the main four broadcast networks were inviting the same people into our homes, week after week, it wasn’t all that hard for viewers to find a kind of comfort in our favorite shows. We knew Alan Thicke or Betty White (who died a few weeks ago) or Bob Saget (who died a few days ago) would be there to do the same things over and over, sometimes literally in reruns. The outpouring of grief from people in the wake of the recent deaths of White and Saget stems from how beloved they were as pop culture figures. White was your raunchy grandma, and Saget was your dad who loved a good dirty joke. But both of those personae were arrived at via television. They’re more or less transmuted versions of the most famous characters each played, amalgams of Rose Nylund and Danny Tanner and Betty and Bob, both of whom were always game for a joke. White wasn’t a rapacious lover like her Mary Tyler Moore Show character or a dim bulb like her Golden Girls character, and Saget almost certainly wasn’t your dad. But getting to see them every week made them feel more knowable on some level. We approach our TV characters with a certain intimacy in other ways, too. It’s not uncommon for viewers to talk about the characters from, say, Succession or Ted Lasso as though they’re real people whose choices we have a vested interest in. That tendency pops up in other forms of serialized fiction, certainly — as evidenced by online discussions about the characters in Marvel movies — but it’s so baked in to TV discussion that it’s as old as the medium itself. People loved when I Love Lucy wrote Lucille Ball’s real-life pregnancy into the show because Ball, as always, was one of the first to understand something powerful about television: It makes you think you know the people you watch every week."
ALSO:
At least 300 people attended Bob Saget's private funeral on Friday (https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/14/bob-saget-funeral-full-house-cast/): "We were told earlier ... the service would be small -- around 50 people -- but turns out it's way bigger. At least 300 people were there to pay their respects," reports TMZ, adding that the "the pallbearers were John Mayer, John Stamos, Norman Lear, Dave Coulier, Jeff Ross, Judd Apatow, Ted Sarandos and Steve Hale. Others who turned out ... Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure, Dave Chappelle, Kathy Griffin, Chris Rock, Seth Green, among many more."

JO Sweet Heart 01-15-2022, 09:26 AM Another memory that I have of Danny and this show is actually a question that I have. In the final season when Michelle is given the impression that her feet are too big, Danny eventually has to explain to Joey why he was called a "toe head" when he was a kid. What I am wanting to know is where that phrase even comes from because I was never once called such a thing when I should've been according to Danny.
God bless you and each remaining cast member always!!!
Holly
P.S. I love watching Danny tell Joey what he obviously did not already know. :D :D :D

Police are unsure if the Full House actress and fashion designer were targeted or just victims of a random attack. Since the attack, the couple has since amped up security and the LAPD is investing. The actress said she was 'thankful no one was hurt' and that the recent death of Bob Saget made her less keen on material items.

Bob Saget's podcast releases its final episode, taped with Margaret Cho six days before his death (https://people.com/tv/bob-saget-love-stand-up-comedy-final-podcast-margaret-cho/)
Bill Burr introduced the final episode of Bob Saget's Here For You (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eATpZf8KM7Q), a podcast the late comedian and actor launched early on in the pandemic in April 2020. "We talked about how long we’d been friends and doing standup at places like Cobb’s…it was really easy to talk to Bob," tweeted Cho (https://twitter.com/margaretcho/status/1483294229564571648). 'I wish I were not his final guest and I wish there were more to come from him. Thank you, Bob."

"When the news broke, I broke," Stamos said at his close friend and Full House co-star's funeral last Friday. "I was shattered and felt worthless to help anyone else. But my supportive wife picked me up, threw me in the car and drove to Bob and Kelly’s house. That’s what Bob would have done if it were the other way around. I slipped into the backyard by myself. His last cigar was sitting in an ashtray by the jacuzzi. It was windy and balmy. I looked up to the sky and said, 'Baby, please give me a sign from up there.' (I called him Baby because that’s how he entered his info into my phone years ago.) 'Tell me you’re alright. Tell me not to feel bad.' I waited a few minutes. Nothing. Asked again. Silence. I was contemplating heaven, hell and heartbreak when all of a sudden a tiny hummingbird came fluttering down from above and landed on a tree right in front of me (https://www.instagram.com/tv/CZAJBfZB64z/). (I swear this is true. I even took a little video with my phone.) I’ve always felt hummingbirds represented my parents, and this one was definitely my mother, who had red hair: She had bright red feathers around her neck like a scarf. She assured me Bob was OK and to stop looking for goofy signs. (How rude!) Then she flew up and away. I want signs from Bob, damn it! I want to be haunted by him! The void is maddening! Then this thought washed over me: Maybe, just maybe, his soul might be at peace? The only reason to rattle the thunder and part the clouds is that you are restless in the afterlife, right? That you have unfinished business and haven’t said what you needed to say to the ones you love. We all know that’s not Bob."

On Monday the late Saget's podcast released a new episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G43jZSePHko) with an introduction from Bill Burr, confirming this was the late actor and comedian Saget's final podcast. “I would love for people to watch and have some laughs and maybe a few tears,” said Cook in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “And at some point, I hope they can find it in their heart to show Bob and his family some love by donating to the Scleroderma Research Foundation. I would like to say thank you to All Things Comedy for putting this final episode out for everyone to enjoy.” ALSO: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen joined big-name comedians for a "punk rock shiva" for Saget Sunday at The Comedy Store (https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/mary-kate-ashley-olsen-attend-punk-rock-shiva-for-bob-saget/).
Candace Cameron Bure says she and Bob Saget got into a "little tiff" two weeks before his death (https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/candace-cameron-bure-shares-final-texts-with-bob-saget/)
“It was just two weeks before he passed. I’m actually going to grab my phone. I’m so scared that I’m going to pull up his text and then accidentally delete it one day. It scares me so much because I don’t ever want to lose this,” the Full House alum said this morning on the Today show. “We were going to have dinner. And we got into a little tiff. And his flight was delayed. We ended up not having dinner.” Bure explained that “in Bob fashion,” he texted her a lengthy text apologizing for being “cranky” during their previous interaction.

JO Sweet Heart 02-09-2022, 10:03 PM ^^^ This news only takes me back to what happened with that lady named Natasha Richardson, only what happened with her was a skiing incident I believe it was. Still, she didn't get checked out and of course you know the rest. :( :( :(

I wouldn't necessarily compare what happened to Bob Saget to Natasha Richardson. In her case, she fell down on the slopes and whacked her head quite hard, she was aware she was injured but declined to seek medical attention or get checked out. A few hours later she was in serious trouble with head pain, but by then it was too late.
Bob would have had to have hit the back of his head very hard to sustain the kind of trauma that would kill him. Subdural hematomas don't occur from merely walking into a door incorrectly, for example. Skulls are hard and meant to sustain substantial blows. It wouldn't be that surprising if it turned out that Bob was on blood thinners, so it wouldn't have taken a major hit.

That is not a good comparison since Natasha knew she was injured and Robert did not
JO Sweet Heart 02-10-2022, 01:56 PM ^^^ The only way that he couldn't have known that anything had happened is if the hard enough blow to his head took place while he was asleep. I pray that whatever happened wasn't self-inflicted.

Bob Saget had catastrophic injuries to his head and was COVID-positive at the time of his death, autopsy reveals (https://people.com/tv/bob-saget-blunt-force-injuries-to-head-covid-positive-when-he-died-autopsy/)
A report from the Orange County Medical Examiner obtained by People states that Saget had likely fallen backward and hit the back of his head before his Jan. 9 death. He had fractures to the back of his head and around his eyes at the time of his death. Though Saget did not have any illicit drugs or toxins in his system, the report stated that he was taking the prescription drug clonazepam, which treats seizures, panic disorder and anxiety. ALSO: John Mayer reveals he's working on a song to honor Saget (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/john-mayer-reveals-song-bob-saget-222050929.html).

Sometimes, the police don't release all the facts (and even keep the family in the dark).
Yes, I have read story after story that it was accidental. I still think the circumstances behind his death are unusual.
-He had fractures to the back of his head and around his eyes at the time of his death.
On one side of the head, a fall makes sense (the back side). But how do you have fractures on the front side (the eyes/eye sockets) as well?
Still sounds like an assault.

Not sure about an assault !? But I agree, something seems amiss with his death/cause of death! Very tragic , and I too believe there is more to it than him just falling and hitting his head, not thinking too much of it and going to bed and passing away!? :confused::(
Hawkee 02-11-2022, 03:41 AM I heard about this from my mom and my theory is I think Bob was taking a shower and after he was finished with his shower he panicked at something and fell to the ground and what I think Bob Saget should not have done was gone to sleep in the first place and he should've called someone for help or called his doctor and told the doctor that he had a head injury. Because people rarely get head injuries and die. Look at Robert Atkins the founder of the famous Atkins Diet and when he died his death was also caused by a head injury when he fell on thin ice. I think this is a way for Bob Saget's family to get more money and media attention so they can get the money they deserve. Bob Saget is missed by Full House fans and will be a sitcom legend forever

Not invalid points (and I DO hope the authorities truly investigated whether there was a possibility that there COULD have been someone who might have assaulted Mr. Saget).
However, one possibility of him having fractures on the back of the skull and the eye sockets may have been that he stepped on a stray piece of soap and slipped, fell down and banged the back of his head very badly THEN stood up and tried to walk but, instead accidentally slipped on the soap AGAIN and fell down but this time hit the front of his head. Of course, I hope the authorities had checked out whether there was any soap or other slippery substances on the hotel floor at the time of the hours leading up to his death.
Caroline13 02-11-2022, 04:10 PM What I've heard on his death in the last 2 days, is head trauma from fall and he had covid and had been vaxxed. So who knows the real reasons...could all be a factor.
rusty spike 02-11-2022, 04:34 PM Not an expert so take my anecdotal experience for what it's worth.
My 70 year father had been suffering dizziness from complications of mini strokes. He lost his balance on the first stairs. He fell some 10 feet and tumbled end over end and banged his head 3-4 times during the fall. He had several lacerations and contusions on his head. His head hit a glass bowl near the stair landing and had glass inside the wound.
He should have had broken bones, but he had none. Just a lot of bruises. He had no skull fractures. Thank God he received quick medical help/ first aid.
I am trying to understand how a person in a hotel room suffers skull fractures to his eye sockets and back of his head from a fall. This is so terrible because I can't fathom such severe injuries from a hotel room.
There's a lot of nurses in this Twitter thread (https://twitter.com/JonLemire/status/1492293563308257283) saying that they don't think a simple fall accounts for all the fractures.

The consensus among neurosurgeons (https://youtu.be/culrYHtdHUY) seems to be that the fractures were so extensive and severe that the idea of Bob Saget (http://www.autopsyfiles.org/reports/Celebs/saget,%20robert_report.pdf) being able to get himself up, dress himself (if he fell in the shower) and tuck himself neatly into bed is implausible. He would have immediately been unconscious or so incredibly confused. He would not have tried to "sleep it off."
paul.austin 02-14-2022, 04:04 AM The autopsy revelations of How severe Mister Saget's injuries were - brings back what was done to Bob Crane of Hogan's Heroes. The doctors quoted in the media are right, you don't get these injuries in a simple accident.
This was murder - someone must have wanted Mister Saget out of the way permanently.
But, who? And, why?

In some reports it says he had Klonopin in his system. That is a prescribed drug , a mild tranquilizer similar to Xanax or Valium .Safe in small doses taken as directed . I used to be prescribed it for anxiety disorder . I'm only 5'2 , Bob was 6'5 as directed never made me trip and fall.
Could it be possible he took way too many ? Or if he ran out and bought some illegally , maybe he got some Fentanyl by mistake ? That is deadly , even in small doses ! Killed Prince and Tom Petty! :(
Could this be why the family doesn't want the cause of death to be released and a sticking with the falling from a terrible freak accident not falling do to being very drugged out ?:confused:

Bob Saget, 65, was found dead from brain bleed in his room at Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande
Investigators say they now believe Saget passed out in the hotel bathroom, fell and hit his head against marble floor
In the early hours of January 9, Saget regained consciousness and made his way to the bed, where he blacked out a second time and later died
His autopsy showed Saget he had severe injuries to the back of his head and around his eyes
Cops initially claimed Saget hit his head against headboard, but experts said his injuries were severe enough to have resulted from being bashed with a bat
Judge permanently bans the release of Bob Saget's autopsy (https://www.eonline.com/news/1323111/bob-sagets-family-speaks-out-after-judge-helps-preserve-bobs-dignity)
A Florida judge today granted Saget's family's request to ban the release of photos, video or other records related to the investigation into the death of the late comedian. "The entire Saget family is grateful that the Judge granted their request for an injunction to preserve Bob's dignity, as well as their privacy rights, especially after suffering this unexpected and tragic loss," the family's lawyer said in a statement. "We are pleased this issue has been resolved, and the healing process can continue to move forward."

Bob Saget's fractures were likely caused by falling on a carpeted floor (https://apnews.com/article/bob-saget-entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-orlando-82bce543459e33f2860a771433355ee9)
An incident report released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office today notes that fractures around Saget’s eye sockets and bleeding around his brain were possibly caused by the comedian hitting “something hard, covered by something soft." The fractures “would have stunned Mr. Saget,” and that he would have experienced dizziness. Had he been with people at the time, they would have noticed “confusion, balance, and/or slurred speech,” the report states. Last month, People magazine reported that investigators believe Saget hit his head on the marble floor of his hotel bathroom.

Cocci said Saget complained he was not feeling well in the hours before he died and claimed to be suffering from "long-term COVID" effects, as well as hearing issues. "I did hear him say, 'I don't feel good, but I'm ready to do the show. This is what I do this for.' He kinda seemed like he was talking himself up," Cocci said of Saget, who tested positive for COVID weeks before his death and was also positive at the time of his autopsy.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department punished deputies Emiliano Silva and Steven Reed with undisclosed penalties after Silva leaked the news of Saget's death to his brother, who then tweeted about it. Reed, who was off duty, learned about the incident from on-duty deputies and spread the word to friends, resulting in the news media flooding the Sheriff's Department with inquiries before officials could inform Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo.
Ten months after his death, Bob Saget gets a fitting headstone: Here's what it says (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ten-months-death-bob-saget-154019833.html)
The grave of comedian Bob Saget finally has a headstone befitting of the beloved "Full House" star nearly 10 months after his sudden death.
In Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, the headstone bears Saget's full name, Robert L. Saget, and a touching tribute to the actor, who died in January at age 65.
"Loving & devoted husband, father, son, uncle, brother & friend," the epitaph says, as seen in photos published by the Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11371753/Bob-Sagets-grave-gets-headstone-nine-months-beloved-comedian-passed-away-65.html).
"He brought people together and made them laugh. A very great man," it says.
The headstone, of course, also includes Saget's date of birth (May 17, 1956) and the date of his death on Jan. 9, 2022 — the night he was found dead (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2022-01-10/bob-saget-death-details) in his Orlando, Fla., hotel room between stops on his stand-up comedy tour.
Yong Fang 10-31-2022, 07:13 PM He was too young to die, but his death was sudden and if he suffered (and he may have and knew he was going to die), that didn't last long and that was it. He didnt know he was going to die (in the immediate time) and died.
Some people suffer for months and even years of cancer and other illnesses, being confined to bed, not being able to eat, walk unaided, or other things. I just read about the actor Tim Roth's son, who was in his early 20's, being diagnosed out of the blue of a Stage 3 incurable cancer and was messaging how much he was fighting it. When I was in my early 20's, death was pretty abstract (for me). Sure, I knew young people my age died, but I never occured to me it would happen to me. I should have died twice from getting hit by a car on a bicycle and being thown out of a jeep that flipped on a city street when I was about 19. Wasnt killed or even that hurt.
You just never know. Hopefully I will just drop dead.

I'm trying to imagine Alan Thicke doing the same over on Growing Pains. Not unless he cleaved Kirk's head in front of the cast and crew the little toilet had treated as p*rnographers!

It's been over a year and a half since Bob died, and I'm still looking for answers for why it happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the coroner initially say that his body resembled that of an individual who was in a car accident? There was suspected blunt force trauma, and he was allegedly found in bed according to early reports until the story changed and the autopsy was allegedly sealed.

Expert says Full House star's autopsy 'doesn't add up' in new findings (https://www.the-express.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/201194/Inconsistencies-full-house-star-autopsy)
Hollywood star Bob Saget was 65 years old when he died in what appeared to be a tragic accident but many believed his autopsy left several questions unanswered (https://www.reddit.com/r/fullhouse/comments/1rnq817/expert_says_full_house_stars_autopsy_doesnt_add/).

Full House star Bob Saget's death left fans devastated when he passed away in January 2022.
The popular comedian and actor was 65 when he suffered a "blunt head trauma," which was widely reported to have caused multiple skull fractures and haemorrhaging in his brain. His autopsy left many with more questions than it did answers due to the horrific nature of his injury.
At the time, the New York Times’ Science section tweeted, “Far from a head bump that might have been shrugged off, the autopsy described an unmistakably serious set of injuries that would at the very least have probably left someone confused, brain experts said.”
Meanwhile, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who is a neurosurgeon by trade, broke down the details of the report during a New Day segment. At the time, he shared, “I think what it reveals more than anything else is that this was not a sort of simple bump on the head.”
He also divulged how early reports about his death had suggested that Bob potentially bumped his head when getting into bed and did not realize the extent of his injury.
He said, “When you read this autopsy report, that may still be the case, but it was a very significant blow to the head." He then described how the fractures to Bob's skull stretched from the back of his head around to his right temporal bone, with additional fractures present at the front of his skull as well.
Sanjay explained, “In order to do that, when I first saw this, if I knew nothing else about what had happened, you would think that maybe this was someone who had fallen down the stairs and had several impacts to the head or been unrestrained in a car accident. I mean, it was that degree of force.”
He concluded, “Whatever happened here, I mean we may never know the exact — like how he fell or what happened, but it was a significant blow that caused that, and likely the bleeding on top of the brain … sadly, led to him becoming unconscious and then dying."
Emergency physician Dr. Megan Ranney agreed with that analysis, writing on Twitter, “This is not a ‘slip & fall’. This is not a minor concussion. This is MAJOR head trauma. My condolences to Saget’s friends & family. I hope that they get answers as to what really happened.”
She then added, “PS: this doesn’t mean it was INTENTIONAL trauma, either. But this is more than just ‘I whacked my head on the kitchen cabinet.'" The doubt continued to be cast with former AUSA-SDNY Richard Signorelli saying, “No wrongdoing found. Something doesn’t make sense given his severe head injuries.”
Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York also cast doubt on the investigation into Bob's death due to the autopsy results. He wrote, “This is really odd. Makes you wonder about the thoroughness of the original investigation of the scene.”

bokpep 06-26-2026, 03:36 PM I just listened to Kelly Rizzo's segment on the How Rude Tanneritos podcast yesterday. It's really sad that she didn't get to have much time with Bob Saget, but I'm glad that Jodie and Andrea consider her like family. I can't imagine growing up with Bob, having him be single, and then this woman suddenly comes into his life. She was very lucky to have him, and to get his dark humor.
