Actor and comedian Bob Saget has died. He was well known as the straight-laced patriarch on ABC's hit TV show "Full House." For eight seasons, Saget played widower Danny Tanner, who struggled to minimize the wackiness around him. The actor, who had also hosted “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” was found dead in an Orlando hotel room while on tour. "I don’t know how to describe it. It could be my father, it could be my grandmother, it could be my grandfather. I just feel there’s a higher power looking out for all of us or carrying us through the tough times," she said. "Every day, we’re met with different obstacles. But, for me, it’s like that song says, ‘I get knocked down, but I get up again,’" she said in the outlet’s cover story. "Nobody said life was going to be a breeze; we all make mistakes, but the important thing is to persevere."

I am having trouble wrapping my head around this. He was so young, and one of the sweetest comics around. Kind and genuine every time you saw him.

Bob Saget’s loved ones and friends, including many “Full House” cast members, gathered for the funeral of the late comedian on Friday. During a 2015 Esquire profile, Saget explained that he saw humor as an outlet for life’s difficult moments, including the loss of two sisters who died at young ages. Bure, who played Saget’s oldest onscreen daughter, D.J. Tanner, was similarly at a loss for words. “Bob was one of the best human beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much,” she wrote, in part, while sharing a series of photos.

This is sudden and unexpected and horrible. I was his TV daughter for one season and he was always so kind and protective. In April 2020, Saget launched the podcast Bob Saget’s Here for You, which reached 128 episodes, the most recent just released Monday, with guest B.J.

He wrote, “I guess I’m finding my new voice and loving every moment of it.” Saget played widowed father Danny Tanner on “Full House” from 1987 to 1995, and also on a sequel called “Fuller House” from 2016 to 2020. In the show, Tanner shared his home with his three daughters, his brother-in-law and best friend. And Weinger, who played D.J.’s high school sweetheart Steve, encouraged donations in Saget’s memory to Scleroderma Research Foundation, the disease that took his sister and a cause in which he was an active supporter.

That sleazier persona was immortalized on HBO's show about the male side of the industry, "Entourage," on which he played "himself," according to his bio. Saget was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff's office tweeted. He always went out of his way to make me comfortable and talked nonstop about his kids. Such a loss,” Dennings wrote on Twitter. Truly one of the nicest guys and so funny. "My family wasn’t one to hold grudges. I didn’t grow up in a household where if you made a mistake, you weren’t forgiven," she continued.

Nobody ever made me laugh harder, the kind of laughter where your ribs are sore the next day,” he wrote. The family of actor and comedian Bob Saget, who died Sunday at age 65, is remembering the "love and laughter" that he "brought to the world." There is no evidence of drug use or foul play in the death of Saget, who was found dead in an Orlando hotel room Sunday, according to a statement released by the medical examiner’s office. In the wake of Saget’s death, his Full House costars posted touching tributes to the late actor.

One of his fellow board members later presented the charity with a $1.5 million grant, matching all donations made in Saget’s honor. Even Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen shared their own personal tribute to Saget, despite having remained extremely private over the past decade. In the hours leading up to his passing, Saget crossed paths with numerous people following his stand-up performance at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. According to Rosalie Cocci, who runs errands for talent at the theater, she heard Saget complain that he was not feeling well and was dealing with the effects of “long-term COVID” as well as hearing issues. Saget was found unresponsive in his hotel room at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes.

Saget was found unresponsive in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes and pronounced dead on the scene, the Orlando Sheriff’s Department confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday night. Authorities have no information on the cause of death. Detectives have found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case, and the Orange County Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. Saget, born Robert Lane Saget in Philadelphia, was also the longtime host for America’s Funniest Home Videos and was currently on a comedy tour. To a later generation of sitcom fans, he was known for being the voice of the adult Ted Mosby on CBS’ long-running How I Met Your Mother.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed his death, which was first reported by TMZ. At the time of our 2016 interview, Saget already understood that his work on “Full House” had stood the test of time, and hoped that it would continue through “Fuller House” and beyond. The character was a decent and active father who wore cable-knit sweaters and pleated khakis.

He assured his daughters “Everything’s going to work out super great” and deep-cleaned for fun. It began three minutes into the pilot episode — a goodbye for Danny’s mom, who was ending her stay helping her son with his daughters. Bob Saget was well-known as the patriarch on ABC's hit TV show Full House, and the host of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Born in Philadelphia and raised in Norfolk, Virginia, Saget began making Super 8 films as a teenager. His family moved to Los Angeles during those years, and he started doing stand-up at 17. He was hardly seen as a big-screen star, yet he put in plenty of work there, too. He was working on two film projects when he died and was scheduled to be included in a documentary about comedian Martin Mull, another talent who has explored his raunchy-wholesome dichotomy.

The famous stand-up comedian and Philadelphia native is best known for his breakout role as Danny Tanner on ABC’s popular family sitcom Full House, which ran from fall 1987 through May 1995 and was rebooted by Netflix in 2016 as Fuller House. According to TMZ, at least 300 people arrived at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills to pay their respects to Saget, who died unexpectedly on Jan. 9 at the age of 65. Saget’s on-screen “Full House” children Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were all in attendance, and John Stamos and Dave Coulier served as pallbearers during the ceremony. The "How I Met Your Mother" star is survived by his wife, Kelly Rizzo, and his three daughters from a previous marriage. He is survived by his wife, TV host Kelly Rizzo, and his daughters, Aubrey, Lara Melanie and Jennifer Belle, whom he shared with his first wife, Sherri Kramer.
