> **[Comedian Bob Saget Dead at 65, Found in Orlando Hotel Room](https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/09/bob-saget-dead-dies-hotel-comedian-full-house/)** > > Comedian Bob Saget is dead at 65 after being found in an Orlando hotel room. 65 years old, no cause described yet. He ended up being more entertaining than I expected. I mostly saw him doing his kids or AFV stuff early on, and then started to see the really raunchy (and funny) things he did. RIP ---

Bummer. No one else could straddle the worlds of raunchy adult comedy and sugar-sweet family comedy better then him. ---

Huh?? 😢 \*\*He was barely old enough to shave. 😉 OK that’s an exaggeration but damn he had a lot of good years left. RIP Bob \*\*I haven’t seen a recent photo and prefer to remember him as Danny Tanner. ---

I mostly saw him doing his kids or AFV stuff early on, and then started to see the really raunchy (and funny) things he did. RIP For years I only knew him from _Full House_ and had no idea his stand up routines were raunchy. I was surprised when he had a cameo in _Half Baked_ where Sagat plays a cocaine addict upset that Dave Chappelle showed up to the support group for a weed addiction they all agree is innocuous. Hearing the dad from _Full House_ ask, “You ever suck dick for weed?” was a little shocking. I didn’t expect to hear of Bob’s death any time soon. ---

Wow, first time I saw him was on Rodney Dangerfield’s stage. Some NSFW material: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/7Dv0O_Qrwm0/maxresdefault.jpg "A Young Bob Saget Performs at Dangerfield’s (1984)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dv0O_Qrwm0) ---

Hearing the dad from _Full House_ ask, “You ever suck dick for weed?” was a little shocking. He was in an episode of the short lived show Huff (with Hank Azaria, Paget Brewster, Blythe Danner and Oliver Platt amongst others). He played a character with a wholesome public persona who was also an actor most known for his leading role in a show called “America’s Favorite Dad”. However he’s an alcoholic and a trope-y coke head\*. \*I’m not making this up, right? Does anyone else remember it? I’m surprised I couldn’t find a video or picture of him on the show. ---

> [@Folly](#): > > From the pic he tweeted out after his show he was looking pretty good. ☹ I went to Bob’s Twitter. He did a 2 hour set and seemed excited about the tour. Still looks about the same. I guess he didn’t know his remaining time here was short. At least his last memories were good. 😢 ---

I messaged a friend of mine: “he was found alone in a hotel room, already DOA. Ten bucks says it was drugs or a heart attack.” My friend, who was an actual fan of his and watched his comedy routines whenever she could, replied :“or both.” The cops say there was no sign of drugs, so I’m curious to see what the official cause of death will be. I watched _Full House_ religiously as a kid but never really paid attention to Saget after that. Apparently he actually had some pretty good stand-up. ---
