Traurige Neuigkeiten erreichen Fans der gepflegten Comedy-Unterhaltung gleich zum Wochenstart. Full House-Star und Comedy-Ikone Bob Saget ist im Alter von 65 Jahren verstorben. Das teilten in den vergangenen Stunden etwa Portale wie Deadline und The Hollywood Reporter mit.
Bestätigt wurde der Tod des Comedian durch das Orange County Sheriff´s Office. Via Twitter schrieben die Verantwortlichen, dass man zum Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes gerufen worden sei, weil ein Mann nicht ansprechbar in seinem Hotelzimmer aufgefunden worden sei. Man konnte nur noch den Tod von Robert Saget feststellen und schließe bislang Fremdeinwirkung und Drogenmissbrauch als Todesursache aus.
Am Abend zuvor trat er noch mit seinem Stand-Up-Programm in Jacksonville auf und veröffentlichte anschließend noch einen Tweet, in dem er auch auf sein Programm für 2022 verwies.
Loved tonight’s show @PV_ConcertHall in Jacksonville. Appreciative audience. Thanks again to @RealTimWilkins for opening. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight. I’m happily addicted again to this shit. Check https://t.co/nqJyTiiezU for my dates in 2022. pic.twitter.com/pEgFuXxLd3

Die Comedy- und TV-Welt hat mit Saget zweifelslos einen großen Star verloren, wie auch die Beileidsbekundungen seiner Kollegen zeigen. Unter anderem John Stamos, mit dem Saget nicht nur für Full House, sondern Jahre später im Revival Fuller House wieder vor der Kamera stand, meldete sich bereits zu Wort. Die Nachricht würde ihn fertig machen, schreibt er via Twitter. Er werde nie wieder einen Freund wie Bob Saget haben.
Auch Candace Cameron Bure, Dave Coulier und weitere seiner Kollegen meldeten sich, meist via Twitter, zu der traurigen Nachricht bereits zu Wort.
Bis zu seinem Tod war Saget in der Comedy-Szene aktiv und obwohl seine Stand-up-Comedy aufgrund ihrer rauen, schlüpfrigen Art eher eine Nische bediente, wurde diese zumeist gefeiert. Derzeit war er mit seinem Programm in den USA auf Tour.
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.

Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room. The man was identified as Robert Saget & pronounced deceased on scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case. #BobSaget pic.twitter.com/aB1UKiOlmi

Beautiful Bob Saget passed away today at 65. He had a big, big heart and a wonderfully warped comic mind. He gave the world a lot of joy and lived his life for goodness’ sake. :’^} pic.twitter.com/QVSITsfaVj

I know that people lose loved ones, good people, every day. No one gets a pass. But the loss of Bob Saget hits deep. If you didn’t know him, he was kind and dear and cared about people deeply. He was the definition of “a good egg”. Too soon he leaves. #RipBobSaget

Bob Saget was the older wiser ‘me' for nine years on How I Met Your Mother. He was the kindest, loveliest, funniest, most supportive man. The easiest person to be around. A mensch among mensches. 1/7
