John Stamos on Bob Saget: "I'm not ready to accept that he's gone — I'm not going to say goodbye yet"

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."

I hope that they all get to be at his gathering whenever it may be, although if any of them decide to not be there, I won't blame them. If there is anything that I have learned in life, it is that people do their mourning and coping in different ways.

God bless you and each remaining cast member always!!!

Rest in Peace.

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."

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.

Bob Saget's death has struck a particular chord among many immigrants and children of immigrants

"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: "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: "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": "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: 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
• TMZ reports Bob Saget may have died in his sleep
• Jeff Ross and John Mayer shared memories of Bob Saget on Instagram Live while driving his car after picking it up at LAX

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).

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, 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.

^^^ 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.

God bless you and her and LBT and the girls always!!!

[Mr. Television]

Totally shocked. R.I.P. Bob and thanks for the memories. 65 is too young.

[JO Sweet Heart]

It was just said on the Entertainment Tonight show that the funeral for Bob was today. I pray that everyone who wanted to be there was able to be there.

God bless you and everyone who loved him always!!!

Holly

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.

When CBS’ chief medical expert Dr. Jon LaPook sat down with his good friend Saget on Dec. 6 to talk about the comedian losing his sister Gay to scleroderma, he had no idea it would be the last time they would talk. During their chat, Saget, who died Sunday at age 65, was able to insert humor into the conversation. “Humor is the only way my family survived. It is so healthy to laugh," he said. "And I’m out there doing it and I know it’s healing for people.” ALSO: Dave Chappelle regrets not responding to a recent text from Saget.
