BOB SAGET DEAD AT 65

Source: TMZ

Multiple sources connected to the iconic comedian and actor -- most famous for his starring role as Danny Tanner in 'Full House' -- tell us he passed away Sunday at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando.

The Sheriff's Department and the fire department responded to the hotel around 4 PM ET ... after hotel security had found Bob in his room. We're told he was pronounced dead on the scene, but the circumstances of his death are still unclear.

If you ever saw any of his stand up, absolutely hilarious and so very smart. Fair warning- he worked very blue. This is not Danny Tanner. He also recently had a podcast that he did that is really good. So sorry to hear this news.

I didn’t watch either show much but he was the face of ABC. THEN I heard his stand up and was blown away. Not just funny but really pushed the edges.

RIP.

Or was it a crazy version? I always wondered how different that Bob truly was from the real Bob.

He had always been tall and thin. Then in just the last few years, he put on quite a bit of weight. That can certainly happen with age, but it can be a side effect of medication as well. He just got married for the 2nd time a few years ago to a much younger woman.

So sad, he had apparently just finished a show and tweeted how happy he was doing stand up again.

When I was a child, Full House was my favorite show. I also loved his blue standup. Well, I’m off to HBOMax to watch some Full House reruns.
