‘Full House’ stars seen attending Bob Saget’s memorial, John Stamos calls it ’the hardest day of my life’

Five days after comedian and actor Bob Saget died, friends and family gathered for a private memorial service in Los Angeles to pay their last respects to the “Full House” star, according to People, TMZ and Daily Mail.

The outlets published photos from the Friday service, which showed Saget’s wife Kelly Rizzo and “Full House” stars including John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweeten, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen arrive dressed in black. Dave Chappelle, Jimmy Kimmel, John Mayer and Chris Rock were also pictured in attendance.

Ahead of the memorial, Stamos called it “the hardest day of my life.”

“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,” Stamos tweeted.

Chappelle referenced the memorial during a set in Los Angeles on Thursday. “Tomorrow, I’m gonna go and lay my comrade to rest,” he said during a performance at The Peppermint Club, according to TMZ and People. He also shared he regretted not texting Saget back prior to his friend’s death.

“He just texted me, and I saw the text yesterday and I never texted him back ‘cause I was just busy,” said Chappelle onstage. “I’m just saying this to remind you that these moments are precious.”

Bure posted a throwback photo of herself and Saget on Friday. The two are seen hugging at what appears to be Bure’s wedding.

“Hug like Bob ♥️” Bure captioned the post. “I love you my sweet sweet Bobby daddy.”

Saget, who was best known for his role as widowed father Danny Tanner in the ABC family sitcom and as the original host of the network’s “America’s Funniest Home Videos," was found unresponsive in his hotel room at The Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida, at about 4 p.m. Sunday, police said. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office told USA TODAY in a statement that detectives found “no signs of foul play or drug use.” The Medical Examiner’s Office will ultimately determine the cause and manner of death, saying Monday that an autopsy had been conducted.

Further studies and investigation “may take up to 10-12 weeks to complete,” Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany said in a statement. “Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget’s loved ones during this difficult time.”

The comedian had been traveling the country with the “I Don’t Do Negative” tour and performed a two-hour set in Jacksonville, Fla., on Saturday.

His final Instagram post on Saturday night was filled with hope.

“I loved tonight’s show in Jacksonville,” Saget wrote. “Very appreciative and fun audiences. I had no idea I did a two hour set tonight.

He added: “I’m back in comedy like I was when I was 26. I guess I’m finding my new voice and loving every moment of it.”

Along with his wife Rizzo, Saget is survived by three daughters from his first marriage to Sherri Kramer – Aubrey Saget, Lara Melanie Saget and Jennifer Belle Saget.

Is this the way to sidestep ‘cancel culture’ and be friends with everyone? Maybe.

]

A world where everyone enjoys the same favorite flavor of ice cream. Where everyone can’t stop giggling at the same joke. Where everyone votes for the same politician.

That world will never exist – and it probably shouldn’t. But a world where everyone respects each other’s differences might be possible. Emphasis on the “might.”

At least that’s what Patton Oswalt tried to say. The comedian faced backlash after he shared a photo on Instagram with his friend Dave Chappelle, whose 2021 comedy special “The Closer” prompted an outpouring of criticism regarding its transphobia (though it hasn’t “canceled” him, as some suggested it should have).

Oswalt wrote a nuanced follow-up post where he discussed his 34-year friendship with Chappelle and set the record straight on his own beliefs: “For all the things he’s helped ME evolve on, I’ll always disagree with where he stands NOW on transgender issues. But I also don’t believe a seeker like him is done evolving, learning. You know someone that long, see the struggles and changes, it’s impossible to cut them off. Impossible not to be hopeful and open and cheer them on. Also, I’ve been carrying a LOT of guilt about friends I’ve cut off, who had views with which I couldn’t agree, or changed in ways I couldn’t live with. Sometimes I wonder – did I and others cutting them off make them dig their heels in deeper, fuel their ignorance with a nitro-boost of resentment and spite?”

Oswalt’s approach marks an example of what it means to agree to disagree with your friends on an individual level, experts say, but people must determine their tolerance for views that don’t align with their own.

Could this also be the antidote to cancel culture?

When people sit stuck in their antiquated ways, “we must not cancel them quickly, we must call them higher and challenge them to evolve with the culture,” therapist Moe Ari says.

Hmm:It’s time to cancel ‘cancel culture.’ Call it ‘accountability culture’ instead.

Friendship isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of relationship. One person’s ability to tolerate a behavior or attitude won’t necessarily match up with someone else’s.

“For some people, the fact that someone might disrespect an identity that they feel important, or a cause that they feel important, is enough of a con that they can’t consider them as a friend,” says Marisa Franco, psychologist and friendship expert. “But for other people, that’s not the case.”

It’s certainly not for Vincent Messina.

“I’m married to a person I disagree with on almost a daily basis,” says Messina, a 44-year-old Connecticut resident.

He adds: “This idea that we should instantly condemn anyone who does not share a specific opinion is insanity. In fact, the goal should be the opposite.”

Anthony Lodestro, 46, says Oswalt is spot-on in not letting a 30-year friendship go – though that hasn’t always panned out in his own life.

“I had a friend who knew me and my family since 1983 drop any communication, friendship because I didn’t support (former president) Trump in his re-election bid,” the New York resident says. “I’m a Democrat by nature but don’t always vote blue. That being said, I’m still very close to a friend who would hug Trump if he were standing in front of us. Still love him and his value to my life and family.”

Sustaining friendships and supporting ‘cancel culture’ is not the same thing

Maintaining an individual friendship and holding someone accountable in the public square remain different animals.

“There are different implications for supporting somebody who may be speaking out against trans folks” says Jennifer Billinson, an assistant professor of communication at Christopher Newport University. She notes last year was the deadliest on record for trans and nonbinary people.

In the case of Oswalt and Chappelle – and any celebrity, for that matter – there’s only so much the public can understand about who these people are.

“Oswalt’s reflection remind us that one of the biggest myths is that we the public know celebrities through their loudest moments,” says Jeffrey McCune, director of the Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African-American Studies at the University of Rochester.

And as Ari says, still “I am always happy to see people not reject their friends when they need them most.”

Something to think about:Obama, Alton Brown apologized for harmful words. Should we forgive past problematic views?

What to do when you and a friend fundamentally disagree

Take the temperature of your relationship. Is your friendship filled with more positive emotions or negative ones? “These are friendships we’re choosing. So they need to feed us and bring us joy,” says Shasta Nelson, a friendship expert. Also, consider your friend’s reliability and consistency, as well as how vulnerable you feel around each other.

Consider cutting your losses. “We just need to give ourselves the space and the room for our own subjectivity in assessing whether it’s worth continuing these sorts of friendships,” Franco says.

Be prepared to accept your friend – warts and all. “It’s unrealistic to think that we can find people who agree with us on every single thing, and that we all grow and change our minds and opinions at the same pace at the same time,” Nelson says.

Move forward. Staying in the relationship could help your friend grow further, could help you practice your own capacity for compassion, and overall could foster a world where conversation is more likely to happen, Nelson says.

Given all the arguments going on in the world today, we all could use more friendship. Choose your fights carefully.

As Nelson says: “We can’t just keep cutting out every single person who disappoints us or hurts us.”

Drake Celebrates The Return Of His Dave Chappelle’s Show DVDs 15 Years Later

]

It appears Drake has been reunited with his long-lost DVD of comedian Dave Chappelle’s beloved early 2000’s sitcom.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday (January 12), Drizzy jumped on his stories to give his good friend Dalton “D10” Tennant a shout out for finally returning the boxset of The Chappelle’s Show he allowed him to borrow well over a decade ago.

“I let D10 borrow this in like ‘07,” Drizzy wrote in the story post. “Man sent me a text said I can have it back now.”

Though the circumstances are completely different, considering D10 has been the Certified Lover Boy rapper’s music director of his live shows for several years, this wouldn’t be the first time the comedian has helped Drake reconnect with his acquaintances.

Last November, Dave Chappelle visited Drizzy’s home in Toronto and performed a stand-up set in celebration of Drake’s reconciliation with Kanye West — which was arranged by J. Prince.

It appears the energy at the 6 God’s private residence was electric during Ye’s visit, which prompted Dave to get on the mic and commemorate the moment.

“You have to admit to yourself [that] this sht is impressive,” Chappelle said in a video clip from that evening. “I cannot believe I’m in a na’s house. A n*a from this city that did not grow up this way. Tonight, he brought some of the biggest stars on earth to his home. Kanye West is in his home.”

“These moments are precious…” On stage, Dave Chappelle regrets not texting back his “comrade” Bob Saget

(NOTE LANGUAGE) On stage on Thursday night, Dave Chappelle mourned the loss of his friend and fellow stand-up Bob Saget, who was found dead in his Orlando hotel room on Sunday.

His comments during a performance, which TMZ said was at West Hollywood’s Peppermint Club, were posted by the gossip site.

“I didn’t see Bob coming,” admitted Chappelle of the death of the 65-year-old. Chappelle noted because he got started so young in comedy, he’s unfortunately seen many former colleagues pass.

Dave mentioned Thursday night that he was “going to lay my comrade to rest tomorrow,” adding he regretted not returning a text Saget sent him before he passed.

“I was busy, it happens,” Dave said, but used it to “remind” his audience that none of us know what’s going to happen. “These moments are precious,” Dave said, to applause. “When I’m going out at night, I’m making memories. S***, I’m making history,” he said.
