John Stamos' Raw Tweet About Bob Saget Will Have You In Tears
Hearts broke on January 9 when Bob Saget suddenly died at the age of 65. The actor and comedian who has been on TV screens for decades was beloved by many, and thousands of messages spread across social media at the news, demonstrating just how much of an impact the funnyman has had on our lives. Fans everywhere reminisced about their years of watching him play Danny Tanner in "Full House" or Matt Stewart in "Raising Dad," or even the ever-reliable narrator in "How I Met Your Mother." There's also "America's Funniest Home Videos," where he was almost as big of a draw for audiences as the videos themselves.
But while viewers shared their love on social media from a fan point of view, celebrities shared their own warm thoughts about Saget from working with him or meeting him in the industry during their careers. Though Saget's brand of humor may have ruffled feathers at some points during his career, he was still revered by his fellow actors, as many shared on social media following his death. Among celebrities sharing emotional words after Saget's death were some of his co-stars from over the years, including John Stamos.
John Stamos and Bob Saget starred in Full House together for years
When "Full House" premiered in 1987, Bob Saget starred as Danny Tanner alongside John Stamos, who played Jesse Katsopolis, Danny's brother-in-law. Both stayed with the show until the end in 1995 and came back for "Fuller House" in 2016 through 2020. After Saget's death on January 9, Stamos took to Twitter to share a heartbreaking message about the news. The actor wrote on Twitter, "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."
The two actors remained friends over the years, often sharing warm words about the other. Saget shared an especially touching note about Stamos in August 2021 for his birthday, writing on Instagram, "To say we are like brothers is an understatement. We have been through so much together for 35 years. High, lows- The usual you go through with your closest of people in your life. But what I have to say here, is how damned lucky I am to have John in my life."
They had their fair share of laughs, though, proving just how close they truly were — Stamos even hosted the "Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget" in 2008, getting plenty of laughs at Saget's expense. Among other jokes, Stamos claimed Saget had "no funny bone" in his body, something Saget's fans know to be inherently false.
Like Stamos, the world will deeply miss Saget and his humor.
It wasn't all work and no play for Bob Saget and John Stamos
Bob Saget and John Stamos were perhaps best known for their clean-cut images whilst portraying the roles of Danny Tanner and Jesse Katsopolis on "Full House," but make no mistake about it — the duo had a mischievous side.
Saget published a memoir in 2014, aptly titled "Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian" wherein he discussed the ways in which his life was very much that of Jekyll and Hyde due to portraying the role of a single father with a penchant for cleaning supplies. "I'd release my demons for a little while onstage," Saget revealed in the pages of his book(via UPI). "Being silly helped us survive a super-clean-cut show that at first mostly got panned but then in retrospect became part of family-television humor." Case in point: a drunken night with Stamos. The story goes that during a night out, Saget got so inebriated that Stamos had to help him take off his shoes and feed him his dinner. "One of his sisters even stopped by to check on us. Then he put me to bed. He went to bed soon after. Next to me," he penned. "When I woke up the following day I realized ... I had just slept with John Stamos," Saget joked. Oh, to be a fly on the wall...
Full House alum are paying tribute to Bob Saget
Along with John Stamos, many other cast members of "Full House" took to social media to pay tribute to Bob Saget.
"I don't know what to say. I have no words. Bob was one of the best humans [sic] beings I've ever known in my life. I loved him so much," actor Candace Cameron Bure penned in a somber tweet. Meanwhile, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen also delivered a statement after learning the tragic news. "Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man. We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has," the statement read per People. "We are thinking of his daughters, wife and family and are sending our condolences," they continued. But that's not all. "My heart is broken. I love you, Bob. Your forever brother, Dave," actor Dave Coulier tweeted.
There is no doubt that Bob Saget will be missed by all who knew and loved him. RIP.
