Damn, indeed. I have probably seen every episode of Full House multiple times. He also directed Dirty Work (starring Norm Macdonald), which is one of my favorite comedies. May he RIP.
So Betty White, Bob Saget, who's gonna be the third.... Bam maybe? Or now that viagra is the new covid miracle drug, any bets on if Alex Jones takes a bunch and his heart explodes?
Someone posted a joke that it was Bob seger and my heart sunk. Sunk just a little more when I found out it was Saget. Apparently lived up to the legend. Just read a quote the other day from Neal Patrick Harris that the first Hollywood party he ever went to was at Sagets during his Dougy Houser fame. Walked in and To see Saget with nude women around him and he was wearing a girl’s thong on his head. Bob sees Neil and say, “Hey you aren’t wearing a party hat!” So one of the girls takes her panties off and throws it at Neil. He was still a teenager at the time.
He started off clean and after HFHV and Full House he decided to become a really, REALLY bad stand-up comedian. I have no idea of his party habits.
I'm shocked to see that he's passed, given that there seemed to be no underlying health issues and it was sudden. God rest his soul. As an entertainer, I hated everything he did. Couldn't STAND Full House as a kid. AFHV got way better once Tom Bergeron took over. His standup wasn't my thing. I just found him to be so...unfunny. RIP, and everything.
I used to listen to the Nerdist podcast with Chris Hardwick, and he used to tell stories from back in his hardcore alcoholic days. According to him, one of his best drinking buddies was Bob Saget. They'd get shitfaced and cruise around Hollywood with each other. Sounds like maybe his Entourage persona was truer to life than his Full House one.
I never listened to his actual stand up. He’d always been a comedian’s comedian where other comedians revered him. I wasn’t into Full House so AFHV was what I knew him from and even then it was a concept killed by YouTube. Hopefully he went out with a heart attack fucking some young star fucker.
I just recall his standup as being filthy, and I loved him playing off his image as the Full House dad. I don't think he was particularly insightful or left an enduring mark. He seemed to be a pretty normal dude who stumbled into a career that was absurd, and he did what any of us would do with fame and success that he couldn't justify: abused it to play with titties and say filthy shit and get paid for it. God rest his soul, and may the rest of us aspire to give so few fucks.
Robert Durst of HBOs The Jinx fame. For killing two people and probably his wife he skated pretty well. Not sure if he was out on bail during his last trial but I don’t think they even made it to the sentencing phase yet.
He died in jail, but that sociopathic retard was barely in there at all. Props to the makers of The Jinx for making the most effective documentary since The Thin Blue Line.
He recently did a podcast with Ben Folds, and actually talked about how he enjoys his career now, where he isn’t as filthy as he used to be. Just seemed like a pretty regular dude all around.
Both of the Bagdonoff twins died within five days of each other. You don’t know the name, but you may know the “face”:
Who knows. I only know them as the nip & tuck monsters that were always publishing French junk science.
