- Saget was found dead in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida.
- The actor was best known for his role as Danny Tanner in the ABC sitcom "Full House."
Saget was found dead in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Deputies responded to a call about an unresponsive man around 4 p.m. local time. Saget was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives found no sign of foul play or drug use.
Saget was nicknamed "America's Dad" for his role as the patriarch of the Tanner family in "Full House," which aired from 1987-1995. In addition to acting, the Philadelphia native hosted "America's Funniest Home Videos" from 1989 to 1997.
Despite a clean-cut image due to those roles, Saget was also known for his adult-oriented stand-up routines, which were full of raunchy and explicit language.
Saget was in Florida for a string of comedy shows. After performing stand-up Saturday night in Jacksonville, Saget said in an Instagram post that he loved the set and praised the audience for being fun and positive.
"I had no idea I did a two hour set tonight. I'm back in comedy like I was when I was 26. I guess I'm finding my new voice and loving every moment of it," Saget wrote.
Saget is survived by his wife, Kelly Rizzo, and three daughters from his previous marriage.
Tributes for Saget poured in from fans, friends, co-stars, and fellow comedians.
"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," actor John Stamos, who starred alongside Saget in "Full House" as Uncle Jesse, said on Twitter.
Penn Jillette, of the Las Vegas magic duo Penn & Teller, said on Twitter: "Saget would have wanted something tweeted that was really funny and in very bad taste. I can't do that. I'm just so sad. Bob was just great on every level and we will all miss him."
