RIP Bob Saget
 

Bob Saget has died at the age of 65 ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources connected to the iconic comedian and actor -- most famous for his starring role as Danny Tanner in 'Full House' -- tell us he passed away Sunday at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando.

The Sheriff's Department and the fire department responded to the hotel around 4 PM ET ... after hotel security had found Bob in his room. We're told he was pronounced dead on the scene, but the circumstances of his death are still unclear.

Wow..... now this one literally came out of nowhere.

Jesus, that's a shocker.

Kinda weird nobody but TMZ seems to have anything concrete on it yet. His Wikipedia page hasn't even been updated about it yet last I checked. Strange.

Pretty young, too. Wonder what was up with that? Drug overdose, self-isolating to recover from Covid, what? He was fine a week ago or so.

Strange.

RIP.

Definitely a shocker. Was randomly watching Full House this week and then saw an interview with him on YouTube. Guess he was everywhere. I know he was friends with Norm Macdonald.

Well that's sad, wonder what happened. :ohwell:

Considering he seemed in good health very recently and was relatively young, if he randomly died in some hotel room it's probably one of the two things I suggested. People don't generally just up and die in hotel rooms. When they do, it's usually drugs or suicide, or at least, historically it always was, pre-Covid. So now there's a third option.

I'd hope he didn't OD or kill himself. He always loved to make jokes about being a big cokehead, but who knows how much of that was sincere and how much of it was just doing shtick. I just know that's one of those things that supposedly he never shut up about, so it kinda has me wondering.

I guess we'll learn more as details come out. It's just strange, the circumstances and everything.

Apparently he just did a stand-up set last night, too. Wow. So he probably didn't have Covid. Maybe he just had a bad heart?

OMG! It's true, I saw it and didn't believe it. He has been so active touring with his comedy and Full House get togethers. I have watched him since before I can remember. I valued the Fuller House show and their closeness, also the fact they were all still alive and well. I am in saddened shock. This is definitely out of nowhere.

Boy, this was unexpected and hard-hitting, so many of us grew up with Bob Saget, his standup, Full House, AFHV, and so much more. Sounds like it was natural even though only at 65. We will miss you Bob, thanks for the memories, keep making those in heaven laugh.

Could it have been a sudden massive heart attack? Just guessing, but I don't know of any heart related health issues or perhaps within his family? My grandfather was the same age when that took him so it is possible.

I never met him, but I am hurting quite a bit right now. He may prefer the raunchy, but he embraced his warm demeanor in the end realizing how much fans like us meant to him and vice versa. No goodbye, not ever able to reach out to get a Cameo. It sucks Full House is not on television,just Fuller House on Netflix. I guess I am going to log off here and go watch the triple wedding finale.

I was sooo mad with Fuller House not letting him and Vicky Larson/Gail Edwards confirmed to end up together.

I think his Dad had a bad heart too, so I think that's most likely what happened here: heart failure caused by a genetic predisposition.

Shame.

Wow. What a shame.... Guy entertained my generation across decades.....

Was shocked when I heard.

Had he had any issues the past? I swear Fuller House Danny seemed off compared to Full House Danny and I'm not just talking Sagat's age or new writers.

As for Bob being off, it took some getting used to him wearing glasses and I admit when re-watching the Fuller Hluse finale tonight his voice is different, gone is the loud pitch and excitement. His delivery is straightforward not quirky.

I subscribed to his YouTube channel. I watched a clip he posted six days ago. As mentioned his tribute to Norm MacDonald went viral not long ago. Man, this hurts. His cast mates are really feeling it and his wife of just a couple of years and his daughters especially.

I can see Alfonzo giving Bob a dedication on the next AFHV. It seems that the news broke during tonight's episode. I haven't watched it since Bob stepped down.

Two weeks ago he got boosted. Just like Betty White.

Rest in Peace Bob Saget
 

I just learned that the great Bob Saget has passed away and while I didn't care about "Full house" I loved him on America's Funniest Home Videos.

I guess his modern day counterpart is Rob Dyrdeck who hosts MTV's "Ridiculousness" and has been doing so since the early 2010's. He gets to do what Saget was forbidden to do: Curse like a sailor while narrating the videos.


Still, I'll have Saget over Dyrdeck any time of day.

Ah sorry, I didn't know.

I think I actually preferred him on America's Funniest Home Videos vs. Full House. Interestingly, I never really watched the AFHV episodes after a new host came on.

He only made it 9 days into 2022. Imagine celebrating the new year and dying out of nowhere a week later.

2022 you can go straight down to hell.

Is this true?

The year just got started...relax

And millions of other people all around the world.

This keeps being removed from twitter, so odds are high, yes. Can I prove it, no. A screenshot of his twitter said he had gone in for his booster end of December. His tweet. Both are now gone.

People said the booster killed Betty White. A year ago Hank Aaron publicly advocated for people to get vaccinated but died just shy of 2 weeks later. I know the unexpected timing of his passing made people speculate and hurt his push to help push the vaccine, really doing the opposite. In each case it is likely that each death is unexpected and it is a coincidence that each was recently vaccinated after pushing fans to do so. Thousands got a vaccination and died unrelated to the vaccine. I admire each of them and wish this whole vaccination speculation will not be tied to them because of the greatness that they are what they mean to countless people.

I am going to assume in Bob's case he had a sudden massive heart attack. I am going to miss hearing his podcast. He just published one that went viral with Jodie.

Maybe he did... but swelling of the heart muscle (myocarditis or myopericarditis) is a known side effect of the vaccines. As in, perhaps he had a heart condition and it would have caught up with him sooner or later... but this gave him a little nudge.

I have a heart condition and I have had all the vaccines and I'm fine.

It's a little too easy to blame everything on Covid and vaccines.

More like, you got lucky. People with heart conditions really shouldn't be getting the vaccine, especially not the J&J one.

I'm not sure if you did or not, but honestly would have asked your doctor first and told him/her you got a heart condition beforehand.

Between possibly having a bad heart and also being an older guy - 65 isn't that old but it's still a senior citizen, technically - I do think that maybe him getting the shot wasn't a great idea. I'm kind of suspecting that it was too much on him.

Not like we'll ever know even if it was related to that. It'll be "natural causes" even though he wasn't that old and had been perfectly fine otherwise. Can't disrupt the narrative after all.

I mean, I just plain don't believe in coincidence, is the thing.

And if you think someone like Bob Saget was too old to risk getting boosted..... now imagine someone a few weeks off of 100 getting boosted.....

It has since been revealed that Betty had suffered a stroke on Christmas Day which is what caused her passing.

My father is 69 and suffered a heart attack, his father as I mentioned was 65 when one took him. My dad is 2 shot and a booster in and fine. Its no telling, I just hope the autopsy will give us some insight and closure. I shared a moment with two of my students about Bob yesterday afternoon. Two generations now have grown up with him our whole lives.

If the vaccine was too much of a risk for him then the first two certainly should have done him in months ago, not one booster. Plenty of options for ways a person can just suddenly go unexpectedly.

Idk, most of my boosted buddies have been knocked out
far worse from the booster than when they got the first 2 jabs. And they're not in their 60's.

A coworker missed work because the shot knocked him out and my dad had to go to the hospital. Even then he hasn't been the same since: he doesn't work out anymore when he was obsessed with exercise prior to taking the shot, his voice doesn't sound as powerful as it once did.

People really got knocked out by shots? Nothing happened to me, your arm feels a bit sore like a flu shot but no side effects at all.

Maybe not regular shots but these CoVid ones have been putting people out commission for a few days every since the second one.

They didn't "knock me out," just made my upper arm hurt A LOT. Too much to even move it. It wasn't fun and trying to sleep was awful, but it didn't make me ill.

I DO know people who felt ill for a day and even had a fever...but they've also felt ill with some OTHER vaccines as well, so this isn't some horrible thing that's Covid vaccine specific that has never happened with anything else. My mom felt ill with both Covid and the Shingles shot she'd gotten some months before, but said the Shingles one was worse.

She'd even gotten the booster when it became available. But it didn't do her in, nor did Covid via likely Omicron.

I was shocked to hear this news. I know he had a very filthy sense of humor, but I was one of many people who grew up watching him on Full House when I was just a kid. I continued to watch the series in syndication for many years.

Looks like old Bob had the shot mid December, a booster and he died of blood clots.... take that how you will shot apologists.
