Bob Saget, comedian¹ and 'Full House' star, dies at 65

Transcript²

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. Saget began doing stand-up when he was 17 years old.

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

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 widower³ Danny Tanner, who struggled to minimize the wackiness around him.

BOB SAGET: (As Danny Tanner) Gentlemen, Tarzan, who was raised in the jungle by apes, went to bed in better shape than that baby.

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

The character Saget played felt like America's dad as he raised his three daughters in their San Francisco home alongside his brother-in-law and his best friend.

(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "FULL HOUSE")

DAVE COULIER: (As Joey Gladstone, imitating baby) Good night, Uncle Jesse. Next time you see me, I'll have a big surprise for you.

(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS")

MARTIN: And that music - Saget also hosted the wildly popular TV show "America's Funniest Home Videos." He did it from 1989 to 1997. It was a compilation⁴ of our fellow citizens at their silliest and most embarrassing.

JILL COLUCCI: (Singing) The funny things you do, America, America, this is you.

UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, Bob Saget.

MARTIN: For those who don't remember, it was what we watched before you could scroll⁵ through epic⁶ fails on YouTube or TikTok.

(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS")

SAGET: Thank you. Thank you. I really didn't expect that response. Thank you.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGET: One guy. Welcome.

(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)

SAGET: Front, boneheads in the lobby. You can laugh there.

(LAUGHTER)

MARTINEZ: And host Bob Saget's comedy was right at the heart of it. He seemed like a perfect fit for the wholesome⁷ nonsense the show was known for. But after leaving "America's Funniest Home Videos" in 1997, America's dad focused on his racier material, stand-up filled with profanity and raunchy roasts. But something of Danny Tanner remained. Here's Saget in 2017 recalling to Jimmy Kimmel how longtime friend Don Rickles described his more adult-style routine.

(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!")

SAGET: And he would say, you know what Bob Saget does in his act? Oh, he comes out like a Jewish Clark Kent, and then he sings a song (singing) and the monkey [expletive] the dog and the dog [expletive] the monkey.

JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah.

SAGET: And I said, Don, I don't do that.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGET: I've never said that. I've inferred.

(LAUGHTER)

MARTINEZ: The actor and comedian died yesterday after one last stand-up performance in Orlando. In a tweet, he thanked his final audience, saying he was happily addicted⁸ to making people laugh. Bob Saget was 65.
