John Stamos didn’t hold back when he heard his oldest friend was gone.

Bob Saget, the comedian and actor who spent eight seasons playing Danny Tanner on Full House, died at 65 on January 9, 2022, after he was found unresponsive in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes. Within hours, John Stamos posted a message on Twitter so unguarded that it stopped his co-stars, and thousands of fans, in their tracks.

• Saget was found dead at age 65 in his room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office reporting no signs of foul play or drug use.
• He had performed a two-hour stand-up set near Jacksonville the night before as part of his nationwide comedy tour.
• John Stamos tweeted: “I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.”

Orlando Event Summary and Timeline

According to NPR / Connecticut Public, deputies were called to Saget’s room at the Ritz-Carlton after he was discovered unresponsive. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed he was pronounced dead at the scene and said there was no indication of foul play or drug involvement. Saget had been on the road for his comedy tour and had just wrapped a two-hour set the previous night near Jacksonville, a stop he’d described to his own social media followers as playing to an “appreciative audience.”

Stamos’ Tweet

Saget’s death sent his Full House family into visible grief, and none of it was more raw than John Stamos’ post. “I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby,” Stamos wrote, a message that E! Online and NPR both cited as one of the first and most emotional tributes to circulate.

I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.

Stamos and Saget’s friendship went back more than three decades. Saget played widower Danny Tanner opposite Stamos’ Uncle Jesse on ABC’s Full House from 1987 to 1995, and the two reprised those roles together in Netflix’s Fuller House from 2016 to 2020, according to Legacy.com. That’s nearly two decades of shared screen time between the original run and the reboot, which is part of why Stamos’ words carried the weight they did.

The Rest Of The Full House Family Responds

Stamos’ tweet set off a wave of tributes from the people who knew Saget best. Candace Cameron Bure, who played his onscreen daughter D.J. Tanner, wrote: “I don’t know what to say. I have no words. Bob was one of the best humans beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much,” per E! Online. Kat Dennings, Saget’s co-star on Raising Dad, remembered him as “generous, protective, caring and wonderful,” while television producer Norman Lear called him “as lovely a human as he was funny,” according to NPR / Connecticut Public.

Those reactions echoed similar tributes from other members of the show’s extended cast, including the emotional statement Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen released about Saget, and the note BJ Novak posted that had fans talking for a different reason entirely.

A Career Built On Range

What made Saget’s death land so hard across generations was how much ground his career actually covered — the squeaky-clean dad on Full House, the guy hosting America’s blooper reels on America’s Funniest Home Videos, and an entirely separate identity as a foul-mouthed stand-up comedian who could headline clubs the same week he was doing wholesome sitcom reruns. That contrast is exactly why Stamos, who spent years standing next to him on set, described losing him as losing a brother, not just a co-star.

Saget had performed that two-hour set near Jacksonville just one night before he was found. He was still working the room right up until the end of his tour stop — which is the detail his friends kept coming back to when they tried to explain how sudden this all felt.
