In early 2020, Saget was preparing for the start of his comedy tour when the pandemic put it on hold.
He left the college but stayed in Los Angeles and shifted to standup comedy, which led to small roles in TV and film before he found success with Full House. He also appeared in some episodes of the sitcom's Fuller House 2016-20 sequel and was heard as the narrator on How I Met Your Mother, which ran for nine seasons on CBS. Saget poses at the premiere for the Netflix television series Fuller House in Los Angeles in February 2016. "I loved talking to him and I'm so sad to hear he has passed." He was so kind, warm, and told endless hilarious stories, keeping us on the line for an extra 30 minutes. Tom Power, host of CBC Radio's Q, wrote in a tweet Sunday, "I got to have a chat with Bob Saget about a year ago for our show. "In often a ruthless business he was historically not just hilarious but more importantly one of the kindest human beings I ever met in my career," actor Richard Lewis wrote on Twitter. I loved him so much," said Candace Cameron Bure, who played Saget's daughter, D.J., on Full House. Bob was one of the best humans beings I've ever known in my life. I will never ever have another friend like him," wrote John Stamos, who co-starred with Saget on Full House. "I love you so much Bobby." He always went out of his way to make me comfortable and talked nonstop about his kids. I love you so much Bobby.- just can’t believe it. I will never ever have another friend like him.
