Two years have inevitably passed since the unfortunate death of Bob Saget, the renowned Full House actor and celebrated comedian. His demise shook the entertainment world significantly as he was a sitcom personality adored by a generation, as well as a highly-respected figure in the stand-up comedy scene.
His sudden departure from life was undoubtedly heart-wrenching for his close acquaintances and colleagues, who had to devise ways to deal with the loss. One such person is John Stamos, who found solace in a rather unexpected form – Saget's voice.
On Full House Podcast Rewind, hosted by Dave Coulier, Stamos shed light on how the audiobook version of Saget's 2014 memoir, Dirty Daddy, played a significant role in his grief process. According to John, the recording that was considered by many as “very dirty and weird” became his unexpected source of comfort.
“Do you remember when his book came out?” Stamos recalled. “The night [Saget] died, I somehow ended up listening to his audiobook. Oddly, it gave me such a warm feeling of comfort that I listened to it every night till I fell asleep.”
Stamos Intuitively ‘Heard' Saget's Fate
Apart from being a comforting voice, Stamos revealed he heard something that he interpreted as an eerie presage on Saget's fate. “One morning, I woke up pondering, ‘Did Bob mention in his book that he'd knock his head and that would be his end?' I was skeptical at first, but on revisiting the specific segment, I was taken aback as he jokingly told the tale of hitting his head and announcing on TMZ that he was in a deathly situation.”
It's a well-known fact that Bob Saget passed away due to blunt head trauma, presumably bumping his head and retiring to bed soon after, oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.
Surprisingly, it wasn't the only perceived prediction of Saget's fate. Another instance arose from a 2021 episode of Saget's podcast, Here for You, where he humorously commented, “I don't have long to live… I am going to be found dead in bed.” This was in response to his wife's list of favorite films that included titles like Goodfellas and Casino, raising more eyebrows post his death.
In memory of the legendary Bob Saget, fans and followers are encouraged to share their favorite moments from Saget's career. Whether it's his iconic portrayal in Full House, a memorable stand-up performance, or a particular film or TV show, fans are urged to discuss why those moments resonated with them.
In conclusion, it's vital to remember that sometimes, comfort can be found in the most unexpected places – like an old friend's voice narrating his life experiences. And that's exactly what John Stamos did – paid a heartfelt tribute to his dear friend, Bob Saget, while finding solace in his voice during a challenging time.
