Bob Saget Full House promo pic
Bob Saget, the comedian and great Jewish TV star, has died at the age of 65. He was discovered in his Florida hotel room while on tour.
He started out as a standup where audiences and colleagues knew Saget for his brilliant, as well as dirty, comedy. But then Bob Saget became a regular, clean TV dad in the 1980s with the TV show “Full House.” On the show he acted like fellow comics turned TV dads like bill Cosby and Alan Thicke. Saget later hosted “America’s Funniest Home Videos” for many years.
This is a man who had no thought of the end. Bob Saget’s last Tweet, which came just hours before his death, read, “jLoved tonight’s show @PV_ConcertHall in Jacksonville. Appreciative audience. Thanks again to @RealTimWilkins for opening. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight. I’m happily addicted again to this shit. “
