Comedian Bob Saget passed away.

Comedian and television presenter Bob Saget passed away at the age of 65. He is best known as the patriarch of the hit sitcom Full House. 

2022 begins another round of shocking celebrity deaths. We lost Betty White only three weeks shy of her 100th birthday. We lost Sidney Poitier pass away and now the man who played Danny Tanner on Full House. He was one of the early hosts of America's Funniest Home Videos.

He just recently spoke to his longtime friend Jodie Sweetin, who played his TV daughter Stephanie on the show.

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.

I can imagine that Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber, John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Mary Kay Olsen, Ashley Olsen and Lori Loughlin will address the passing in some fashion.

TMZ reports that multiple sources tell them that the actor died at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando on Sunday.

At 4 p.m., investigators responded to the hotel and found him in his room. He died at the scene.

Details around Saget’s death have not been released.

I grew up watching Full House.

In addition to “Full House,” Saget spent most of the 90s as host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

In 2016, Saget reprised his role as Danner Tanner for “Fuller House,” a sequel to the original 1987-1995 series. The sequel ran until 2020.

He was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album in 2014 with “That’s What I’m Talkin’ About.”

The entertainer was scheduled to perform in Florida. 

He leaves behind three children.

Saget was born in Philadelphia on May 17, 1956, to a Jewish family. His father, Benjamin (August 28, 1917 – January 30, 2007), was a supermarket executive, and his mother, Rosalyn "Dolly" (February 12, 1925 – February 15, 2014), was a hospital administrator. Saget lived in California before moving back to Philadelphia and graduating from Abington Senior High School in 1975.Saget originally intended to become a doctor, but his Honors English teacher, Elaine Zimmerman, saw his creative potential and urged him to seek a career in films.

Saget attended Temple University's film school, where he created Through Adam's Eyes, a black-and-white film about a boy who received reconstructive facial surgery, and was honored with an award of merit in the Student Academy Awards. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1978. Saget intended to take graduate courses at the University of Southern California but quit a few days later. Saget describes himself at the time in an article by Glenn Esterly in the 1990 Saturday Evening Post: "I was a cocky, overweight twenty-two-year-old. Then I had a gangrenous appendix taken out, almost died, and I got over being cocky or overweight." Saget talked about his burst appendix on Anytime with Bob Kushell, saying that it happened on the Fourth of July, at the UCLA Medical Center and that they at first just iced the area for seven hours before taking it out and finding that it had become gangrenous.
