Bob Saget, the host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” a standup comic and known for playing Danny Tanner on “Full House,” was found in Orlando Florida on Sunday. He was 65.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office sent out a tweet from their official Twitter account Sunday night stating that the “Full House” actor was found “unresponsive” in a hotel at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando in Grande Lakes. Saget was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death has not yet been determined.
The Saget family released a statement Sunday night, expressing that they were “devastated” to confirm his death.
“He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter,” the family said.
John Stamos, the actor who played Jesse Katsopolis on “Full House,” posted a tweet on Sunday night, saying he was “broken” and “gutted” by the news of Saget’s passing.
Barstool Sports also posted to their Twitter account a remembrance video honoring the passing of “America’s Dad”.
The standup comic visited UCF and performed twice during his career. The first was at Comedy Knight during the 2006 UCF Homecoming week and in the 2016 CAB Spring Comedy Show.
