Months Before His Death, Bob Saget Used TikTok To Pay Tribute To His Most Famous Role
Bob Saget had a successful career. From being a standup comedy icon to hosting the hilarious show "America's Funniest Home Videos," Saget was known for his comedic chops (via Variety). When he wasn't making everyone laugh, he was working hard raising money for charity. In fact, Saget was a board member for the Scleroderma Research Foundation, an organization raising money to research the rare disease Scleroderma.
All of these details are part of the reason why fans adored Saget. However, he is best known and loved for his role as America's Dad, Danny Tanner, on the sitcom "Full House." The successful show centered around Saget as a single father to three daughters and ran between 1987 and 1995 (via IMDB). The sitcom was so successful that it would eventually get a Netflix reboot, titled "Fuller House," which caught fans up on where the Tanner family went after they grew up, per NBC News.
After Saget's tragic passing in Janaury 2022, fans paid tribute to the star by sharing this special Tiktok the star made just months prior.
Bob Saget's TikTok video had Full House fans in their feelings
