The world has not yet recovered from the death of Betty White, and once again, Hollywood has been shaken by the passing of another 20th-century television icon: Bob Saget.

Saget spent his last moment at Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando

TMZ was the first to report that the actor and comedian passed away on Sunday, January 9, 2022, at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Orlando, Florida.

Danny Tanner

Saget earned worldwide fame for playing Danny Tanner in 'Full House' (1987-1995); the actor was only 65 years old.

Police investigation

The authorities are investigating the circumstances of the death, about which, at the moment, little is known.

Official confirmation

The Orange County Sheriff's Office officially confirmed Bob Saget's death on Sunday.

No foul play or substance abuse

“Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room,” the Sheriff’s office shared on Twitter. “The man was identified as Robert Saget and pronounced deceased on scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.”

Cross-country tour

What is known is that Bob Saget was on tour in the United States with his show 'I Don't Do Negative'.

It was going to last until June

A tour that had started in September and was going to end in Houston, Texas, in June 2022.

Finished his Saturday show

In fact, hours before his death, the comedian had performed his show at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Jacksonville, and crushed it.

Active on social media hours before his demise

Early on Sunday, he had sent a message of thanks to the public who had come to see him. Nothing suggested that the day would end in the worst way.

 

The father that a whole generation wanted

For eight seasons and 192 episodes, Bob Saget was one of the world's most beloved fathers on television.

A television family that has lasted

Danny Tanner, not only gave him fame, but a television family that he has preserved throughout the years.

He returned for 'Fuller House'

A television legend

Recognized podcaster

In addition, Bob Saget had launched into the adventure of podcasts, with one entitled 'Bob Saget's Here For You.'

A raw and straightforward comedian

Now, what not everyone knows, is that Bob Saget was one of the most beastly comedians in all of America. Without filters and with direct humor, the nearly year-long tour he was doing in the United States made it clear that he was a comedy star.
