Full House

Throughout his 45-year-long career, Bob Saget has appeared on the big screen, on TV, and on stage. So, when the Tony Awards were held on Sunday night, John Stamos was dismayed to learn Saget was not listed in the event's In Memoriam segment. Saget's Broadway credits include The Drowsy Chaperone (2006) and Hand to God (2015). He was also in an off-Broadway production of Privilege in 2005. Radio City Music Hall hosted the first Tony Awards, honoring accomplishments in theater, for the first time since the pandemic on June 12 and Stamos addressed Saget's omission in a recent tweet.

He went on to note, "Bob was brilliant in The Drowsy Chaperone & Hand to God." Finally, he requested, "Come on @BroadwayLeague and @TheWing ! Do the right thing! Bob loved Broadway and I know the community loved him." Broadway League is the industry's national trade association and The Wing refers to the non-profit American Theatre Wing.

Saget died on January 9 of 2022, which would fall within this range. Bob Saget was still celebrated outside of 'In Memoriam' videos Stamos wished Saget had been mentioned in the Tony's In Memoriam tribute / Sammi/AdMedia Stamos also took time to honor the event itself, adding, "Let's make some noise about this everyone - and send our love and good wishes to the hosts @ArianaDeBose, @JulianneHough and my buddy @DarrenCriss and all the well-deserved nominees." That same Sunday, Stamos attended the Critics Choice Real TV Awards, the fourth of its kind so far. He presented the Impact Award to Saget, accepted by Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo. "He was one of the pioneers in the reality TV world," Rizzo said of the original host of America's Funniest Home Videos. "It's just so special to be here to honor him, but also still so weird and surreal at the fact that he's not here. This is the first red carpet I've done without him. It's very strange. I feel like he's waiting in the wings and he'll be like, 'Honey, I'll be there in a few minutes.' It still doesn't feel right, but all we can do is our best and be here to celebrate him and his legacy. That's all I want to do."

A lot of colleagues ... were charmed by his humor, his intelligence, and his open expression of love for family, friends, and his fans. Known as a comedian's comedian, he was both a family funny guy, and an aristocrat of dirty jokes. The outpouring tributes from the filthiest comments to grandmothers in the Midwest showed just the range of audience that he had adoring him."
