Bob Saget, the actor and comedian most famous for his role in the much-loved 80s
sitcom Full House, has died at the age of 65.

The Orange County sheriff’s office confirmed Saget’s death on Twitter on Monday,
saying he had been found unresponsive in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in
Orlando, Florida on Sunday. The sheriff’s office confirmed that no cause of death had
been determined, saying in a statement there were no signs of foul play or drug use.

Saget was partway through a standup tour and had performed a show in
Jacksonville on Saturday night.

Comedians and actors rushed to pay tribute on Monday. Jon Stewart remembered
him as “just the nicest and funniest”, while podcaster Marc Maron tweeted:
“Truly one of the nicest guys and so funny. Very sad.” Comedian Drew Carey wrote:
“Well this one hurts. I loved Bob Saget. He gave me so much encouragement when
I first started out. He was a real friend to me too. Not just a mentor. I always looked
up to him. He was SO damn funny and so kind.” Comedian Kathy Griffin wrote:
“You couldn’t find a nicer or sharper wit than Bob Saget. Shocked and devastated.”

Whoopi Goldberg paid tribute to Saget’s “huge heart and abject lunacy” and Jason Alexander
said “he was kind and dear and cared about people deeply ... the definition of ‘a good egg’”.

Born in Philadelphia in 1956, Saget got his big break with his most famous role as the
widower Danny Tanner on Full House. In the popular sitcom, which ran from 1987 to 1995,
Tanner enlists his brother-in-law and a friend to help him raise his three children.
Saget later reprised the role for a Netflix reboot, Fuller House, which ran for four
years until 2020.

John Stamos, who played Danny’s brother-in-law Jesse, tweeted:
“I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock.
I will never ever have another friend like him.
I love you so much Bobby.”

Saget was also the host of America’s Funniest Home Videos from
1989 to 1997, played a parody of himself in both Entourage and Louie,
and provided the voice of the future Ted Mosby on sitcom How I Met
Your Mother for almost a decade. He played another widower,
this time in sitcom Raising Dad, between 2001 and 2002.
Actor Kat Dennings, who played his daughter on the show, called
him “the loveliest man”.

“I just can’t believe it. What a wonderful guy. He always went out of
his way to make me comfortable and talked nonstop about his kids.
Such a loss,”

As a counterpoint to his recurring role as wholesome dads, Saget was also famed
for his raunchier standup routines, writing a memoir and comedy tour that were
both titled Dirty Daddy.

Saget recently spoke about the death of comedian and close friend Norm Macdonald,
whose famously cheesy routine on the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget was
widely shared after Macdonald’s death at the age of 61. “I can’t accept that he’s gone,
and that’s the shock that we’re going through,” Saget said in a video posted on his Y
ouTube page. “Sixty-one … what do we do with that when we lose someone,
especially before their time?”

Saget is survived by his wife and three children.

As people learned about the death of comedian Bob Saget, many close to him suggested that a donation to research into a medical condition his sister suffered with and died from would be a fitting tribute to the star of the 1980s and 90s sitcom “Full House.”

Saget was a longtime supporter of the Scleroderma Research Foundation, an organization that raises funds for research into the autoimmune disorder that claimed his sister Gay’s life in 1994.

“My sister, Gay Saget, was a school teacher near Philadelphia. She was 44 when she was diagnosed with systemic scleroderma,” he told NIH Medline Plus Magazine in 2019. “She got treatment, but it was just treating her symptoms with drugs like prednisone and cortisone. She had to move to Los Angeles to live with my parents because she needed so much help. She passed away just two years later.”

Systemic scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder that affects the skin and internal organs. According to the National Institutes for Health, the disorder is “characterized by the buildup of scar tissue in the skin and other organs.”

“The fibrosis is caused by the body’s production of too much collagen, which normally strengthens and supports connective tissues. The signs and symptoms of systemic scleroderma usually begin with episodes of Raynaud’s phenomenon, which can occur weeks to years before fibrosis.

“This may be followed by puffy or swollen hands before the skin becomes thickened and hard. Fibrosis can also affect internal organs and can lead to impairment or failure of the affected organs. The most commonly affected organs are the esophagus, heart, lungs, and kidneys.”

Raynaud’s phenomenon is a condition in which cold temperatures or strong emotions cause blood vessel spasms in the body, which blocks blood flow to the fingers, toes, ears, and nose.

According to the Mayo Clinic, scleroderma affects women more often than men and most commonly occurs between the ages of 30 and 50.

“There are many different types of scleroderma. In some people, scleroderma affects only the skin,” according to the clinic’s website. “But in many people, scleroderma also harms structures beyond the skin, such as blood vessels, internal organs and the digestive tract (systemic scleroderma). Signs and symptoms vary, depending on which type of scleroderma you have.”

The symptoms vary, but the Mayo Clinic lists these:

Hardening and tightening of patches of skin. These patches may be shaped like ovals or straight lines or cover wide areas of the trunk and limbs. Skin can appear shiny because it’s so tight, and movement of the affected area may be restricted.
Raynaud’s phenomenon, where cold temperatures or strong emotions cause blood vessel spasms in the body.
Digestive symptoms such as heartburn or difficulty swallowing. If the intestines are affected, you might have cramps, bloating, diarrhea or constipation.
Various problems with heart, lungs or kidney function.
Saget produced a made-for-TV movie that was based on his sister’s fight against the disease and spent the years after her death supporting and raising funds for the Scleroderma Research Foundation.

The organization issued a statement Monday on Saget’s death.

“It is with a very heavy heart that we mourn the loss of our friend and Board member, Bob Saget,” the organization said. “Bob was a champion for scleroderma patients everywhere dating back to 1991 when he first became involved with the Scleroderma Research Foundation (SRF), even before his sister Gay lost her battle with the disease in 1994. Bob was a deeply caring father, husband, and colleague, who was unreservedly committed to the mission of the SRF.”
