Rodriguez/Getty Images for Comedy Central With a mischievous grin and a twinkle in his eye, the man who had just been on the receiving end of a 2008 Comedy Central roast closed his rebuttal with a potent turn of phrase: “Fuck you all and suck my $100 million cock.”
Saget’s comrades in comedy reminisced about what made him so special as a TV star, a stand-up, and a friend. These responses have been edited for length and clarity. Nikki Glaser Bob would never let a dick joke pass by, even in a tragic story. If there was a sexual pun to be made, it would be made; he would not let that opportunity go. He was one of three people in my life who make me laugh so hard and unexpectedly in conversation that I look like a Pez dispenser because of how my neck bends backwards.
Gilbert Gottfried I remember when The Aristocrats came out and people would say, “Can you believe Bob Saget is talking that way?” Nobody who knew him was in any way surprised. That’s the way our conversations always were: out-and-out filthy. On our podcasts it would start out like a typical interview, and he would immediately veer off into something totally perverted. There was nothing that was too far. There was a friendly competition in our conversations.
He was wholesome offstage. I can’t stress enough how much he wore his heart on his sleeve. If he hadn’t done that kind of humor, he would have been so cloying he would have made Tom Hanks look like [Screw magazine publisher] Al Goldstein. But when you went out with Saget, the server would come over, and Bob would be talking about fucking his daughter. When the server would be shocked, Bob would say, “I’m sorry, there’s no reason you had to hear that. It was terrible.
Bob called his manager after that night and said, “You have to sign this guy because I want him to write for my show.” So I came out that week as a 21-year-old to write for Raising Dad. It was a head-spinning idea. He called my mom and said, “It’s okay. He’s a good kid. I’m going to take care of him.” I remember her being emotional on the phone because Bob Saget was America’s dad. That’s what made her comfortable.
When you meet him personally, he still has that same friendly, goofy upbeat energy. He wasn’t just telling dirty jokes — although he could, especially if he was with other comedians. He was just a very nice guy.
