Bob Saget, comedian and beloved dad from 'Full House' has died at 65.
According to a report by TMZ, beloved actor and comedian Bob Saget has passed away at the age of 65. Sources told the outlet that Saget passed on Sunday, January 9 at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando. The actor was reportedly found by hotel security in the afternoon, and pronounced dead on the scene. This was confirmed by Orange County Sheriff's Department, who responded to the call. The authorities did not find any evidence of drug use or foul play.
Despite many of his most recognizable roles being of the family-friendly variety, Saget made a name for himself as a decidedly un-PG stand-up comedian. At the time of his passing, he was on tour around the United States, with several engagements in Florida. His most recent show was at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Jacksonville on Saturday, January 8.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Saget was perhaps best known for his role as Danny Tanner on Full House, where he played the loving neat-freak single father to DJ, Stephanie and Michelle—played respectively by Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who split the role of the youngest daughter. Saget starred in the ABC sitcom for the entirety of its eight-season run before eventually reprising the role of Danny Tanner in the Netflix sequel series Fuller House.
