That's a joke, right? AFV is still on?

Someone on Twitter was wondering about Saget’s health 2 hours before tmz broke the news so that would have been round 5pm.

he probably got some sleep in then drove to his hotel in Orlando.


Saw him in Glenside about 10 years ago and it was one of the funniest and raunchiest acts I ever saw.

Yes it's hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro.

Obviously we don't know the circumstances or his health, but it sounds like he died suddenly. Most would speculate a heart attack or stroke.

But still what a shock. I wonder if we'll hear from Candace Cameron Bure at some point. They were obviously very close.

Wow. It's probably been at least 15 years since I heard anything about that show. Assumed it was gone.
With the internet and youtube, etc, I figure people are getting their funny videos fill there. What's the average age of AFV viewers now - 75?

He was found around 4. The person must’ve known someone at the hotel or something along those lines.

Terrible news, I was a little old for Full House but still enjoyed it. Didn't follow his standup career, but he did seem like a nice guy...gotta give his Rogan interview another listen.

None of us are getting out of this thing alive.

It airs at 7pm ET when most of America is watching football, so I'm not surprised that it's completely off you're radar.

Sad. Too young. I guess we can definitively rule out cancer.

Jesus fucking Christ, 2022 is already getting ready to be worse than the last two years. This really sucks, he was a great comic, RIP.

I didn’t realize he was that old. Oddly, I really liked him but never really liked any of his work.

Really curious to find out what happened here

Bob Saget was such a huge part of everyone's life in the 90s Full House was the iconic family sitcom and America's Funniest Home Videos was YouTube

Re: Bob Saget dead at 65

Watched one of his stand-up specials last night after finding out about his passing. I liked him as a personality and for his tv show roles, but his stand-up was pretty hit and miss. A lot of it seemed like he was trying super hard to get a reaction by being foul or dirty.

Re: Bob Saget dead at 65

Yikes, I didn't realize he had lost two sisters over the years (one to aneurism, one to Scleroderma) that sucks. Apparently he died on his late sister Gay's birthday.

Systemic Scleroderma is insane to me, had a family friend get diagnosed with it in her 20s and died on a cruise with her family before she hit 30.

Apparently he passed away in his sleep and was checked on when 1. his family couldn't get a hold of him and 2. he missed check out

Re: Bob Saget dead at 65

Sad to see him go at such a young age. My youth was filled with Full House episodes and AFV. I had no idea AFV was still around. I haven't watched it since 90, 91? Huge loss to all of his family, friends and fans. RIP.
