America’s Funniest Home Videos is paying tribute to one of its own.

In a preview of a planned memorial tribute to former host Bob Saget, who died Sunday at the age of 65, current show host Alfonso Ribeiro introduces a montage of the late comedian, calling it “a look back at Bob being Bob.” The clip features some of Saget’s highlights, as well as footage of Saget explaining the different iconic voices he used to narrate the clips. (He hosted the show for eight seasons from 1990-97 on ABC.)

“By now, pretty much the world has heard of Bob Saget’s passing Sunday morning,” the show wrote in a description of the preview. “Bob was the backbone of a TV show that has gone on to entertain not only America but the world. Bob made us smile, he made us laugh out loud, and, oftentimes, he would make us giggle. A comedy legend. A kind soul. Our dear friend. We will miss you, Bob. ❤.”

The comedian and actor best known as Danny Tanner on Full House and its spinoff, Fuller House, was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Orlando on Jan. 9. He was in Florida as part of his standup comedy tour, having just performed the night before his death. An official cause of death has not yet been revealed.

The full tribute to Saget will air following Sunday’s episode of AFV at 7:00 p.m. EST/PST on ABC.

“You gotta follow your voice,” Saget affirmed. “One of the first things you said to me is ‘I want to be like Richard [Pryor].’ I said well okay, this minus some of the drugs … but you had it in your heart. He was one of my mentors and one of my heroes and you know all of our heroes. You had the fire in you from the beginning.”

Saget, famous for his roles on Full House, How I Met Your Mother, and America’s Funniest Home Videos, was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando on Sunday afternoon following a performance in Jacksonville, Fla., Saturday night.

On January 9, one of America’s favorite TV dads Bob Saget passed away at the age of 65 in Orlando, Florida.

Bob’s sudden death immediately prompted a wave of tributes from celebrities and fans alike, which have all commemorated his kindness and unique ability to make people laugh. Notably, the Full House star was remembered by many in the comedy world, including fellow comedian and Family Feud host Steve Harvey. While appearing on , Steve got emotional discussing the loss of the actor.

“We were on shows together on television. We used to do press junkets. It’s crazy because the dude that you see on TV that’s not who that was. The father on Full House, now that’s a different dude.” Steve told Jimmy.

He added: “He was an interesting guy, but what’s crazy is my staff just told me today he emailed me two days ago and they read the email to me this morning, and he wanted me to come do this new podcast [called ]. He really respected the moral stances that I’ve taken. He was just talking about all the good times we had and they read the email to me so it was a little hard today. He was a great dude.”

Trying to bring a bit of levity to the moment, Jimmy quipped, “It’s hard for me too because he didn’t ask me to do his podcast.”

Steve’s interview with Jimmy came after the late-night host said his own kinds words about Bob. “If you had to pick one word to describe him, that was it: sweetest. I have so many wonderfully kind and supportive texts and emails, calls from Bob,” Jimmy declared. “He always had a compliment. He would write sometimes just to tell me he loved me, and I know he did that for many people.”

“Today will be the hardest day of my life,” Stamos, tweeted on Friday morning, ahead of the service. “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

Today will be the hardest day of my life. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, ⁰courage to change the things I can, ⁰and wisdom to know the difference. — John Stamos (@JohnStamos) January 14, 2022

Dr. Jon LaPook, Saget’s friend and the last person to interview him, also confirmed to ET’s Kevin Frazier that a private service would be held for the actor.

“I can imagine [a service] honoring Bob’s memory is going to have a bunch of humor,” LaPook said. “Because for him, humor, he said, saved his family.”

Saget was found unresponsive in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida, on Jan. 9, just hours after he finished a stand-up show just outside of Jacksonville the evening prior. He was 65.

According to an incident report released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Saget was found by hotel security at the Ritz-Carlton on the bed with his hand on his chest. The report states he was lying in bed in a supine position, indicating a possible heart attack. “His left arm was across his chest while his right arm was resting on the bed,” the report stated. “No signs of trauma were seen.”

The Florida chief medical examiner in charge of investigating Saget’s death announced that an autopsy was performed. No immediate cause of death could be determined, but the medical examiner found “no evidence of drug use or foul play.”

In a statement to ET, Saget’s wife – who had asked if someone could check on him after she had a hard time reaching him – expressed her gratitude and asked for privacy at this time.

“My whole heart. Bob was my absolute everything: I am so completely shattered and in disbelief. I am so deeply touched by the outpouring of love and tribute from our friends, family, his fans and his peers,” Rizzo said. “When the time is right and when this news is not as raw, I look forward to sharing more of Bob with the world. Sharing how much he meant to me, all of those around him, and how much all of his fans and friends meant to him as well. Thank you for respecting my privacy at this time.”

Saget’s Full House co-stars also released a joint statement and several personal ones, expressing their heartbreak and sadness over his death. Stamos, as well as Cameron Bure, wrote on their Instagram accounts that they are not ready to say goodbye.

Jimmy Kimmel’s Tribute to Bob Saget Won Late Night This Week

]

Photo: Jimmy Kimmel Live/YouTube

It was a big week for late night! One host had to return to his COVID-19 bunker (because he had COVID), and another had to take a week off entirely. Jimmy Kimmel got a new announcer, and Jimmy Fallon got a new hat. On his big press push for Peacemaker, John Cena allegedly lost his Peacemaker helmet to Fallon in a bet. Though anyone familiar with Cena’s old profession’s tradition of kayfabe may question whether Fallon will actually be allowed to keep a costume that is, according to Cena, property of Warner Bros.

James Corden was off all week because he had tested positive for COVID on January 6. The week before, Seth Meyers had tested positive and had to cancel shows. He returned this week but in yet another isolation set. Luckily (?), a fan made another Sea Captain painting for Meyers, so his quar companion has been popping in for regular tête-à-têtes — along with his new wife, a painting of Rihanna.

It’s interesting that both hosts decided to cancel shows rather than find last-minute guests hosts. Corden previously utilized guest hosts such as Alicia Keys and Harry Styles, but presumably he had more time to book them. Fallon also tested positive for COVID, but it was over the winter break. And this Saturday’s SNL musical guest, Roddy Ricch, had to drop out “due to recent COVID exposure” on his team. One wonders whether another full-blown at-home era is dawning for late night. Case numbers in New York and Los Angeles are popping off. Do we really need audiences right now? Flattening the curve feels very retro, but maybe it’s time to bring it back. Like the indie-sleaze revival.

On a lighter note, Jimmy Kimmel Live! got a new announcer. Lou Wilson replaced longtime announcer Dickie Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Barrett’s retirement (presumably to help usher in a fourth wave of ska) made room for Wilson, who was part of the writers’ room. The news was welcomed in a space not usually known for late-night chat: D&D stans. Wilson’s work with Dropout’s Dimension 20 has made him a fan favorite, and it was interesting to see one of the more recent big forms of broadcast entertainment (actual-play D&D streaming) get hyped on one of the oldest. But you didn’t come here for the industry goss; you came for the most impactful stuff on late night this week. Here it is.

Keanu Reeves takes the Colbert Questionnert.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Keanu Reeves does poorly when asked a definite question. Stephen Colbert explained that the Questionert (his survey for only the most notable of notables) was in part inspired by Reeves. Colbert once asked him what he thinks happens when we die, to which Reeves responded that all he knows is that those who love us will miss us. From there came the Questionert that has been administered to everyone from Obama to J.Law. Reeves got flop sweat after question one: “What is the best sandwich?” The known sweetie immediately started worrying whether it was okay to pick his best sandwich rather than one that works for everyone. It only got more prevaricating from there.

Seth Meyers doesn’t care.

“Go ahead, groan. I can’t hear you.” So spake Seth Meyers very early in Monday’s “A Closer Look.” Meyers was talking about a terrible joke name for a horse-pudding flavor (horse pudding being the closest thing to ivermectin at his local bodega), Choclatariat. The joke pudding has had a different terrible-joke flavor every night this week, and one must commend Meyers’s commitment to a bit that, even without a studio audience, he knows won’t land. Doing stupid jokes for no one because it’s showtime and you have to say something is the backbone of late-night comedy, as is a mild contempt for your audience. Or if not contempt, at least disinterest in whether your stupid jokes for no one land.

Some quality time with Lewis Black.

Lewis Black came on The Tonight Show to plug his Grammy-nominated album Thank You for Risking Your Life. As he explained to Fallon, the album got its title because it was the last show he performed before lockdown. He said he and Kathleen Madigan knew the writing was on the wall because they were tracking COVID before it popped off. It was nice to just spend some time with Lewis Black while he was really Lewis Blacking it up — mad he’s related to Marc Maron, dismissive of Zoom comedy shows, and surprised his career didn’t wind up being “teaching drama in some sad little southern school.”

Tig Notaro explains bleeping.

Tig Notaro is the GOAT of leaning into discomfort. When she said “asshole” while talking to Colbert and realized she’d get bleeped, the urge to double and triple down on it was irresistible. Notaro said “ass” and “hole” in as many permutations as there are stars in the night sky, and she got Colbert to inadvertently make a gesture of anal pleasuring to boot. If you want to see Colbert lose it, watch this clip.

Jimmy Kimmel weeps for Bob Saget.

Comedy was awash with grief when news of Bob Saget’s death broke Sunday. On late night, that grief was most pronounced on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Kimmel spoke sweetly about his friend and the care he showed Kimmel during his son’s health issues. He read an email Saget wrote him and could barely get the words out. When Kimmel gets earnest, it’s always welcome. Arguing for better health care for Americans may be his biggest contribution to culture. When Kimmel chokes up, I choke up. And I truly appreciate his lack of shame about crying when things are really fucking sad.
