The “Full House” star had performed a show Saturday as part of his tour in Jacksonville, Fla., tweeting about how great his set had gone with a selfie at 3:45 a.m. Sunday.
“Loved tonight’s show @PV_ConcertHall in Jacksonville. Appreciative audience,” he wrote. “Thanks again to @RealTimWilkins for opening. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight. I’m happily addicted again to this shit. Check http://BobSaget.com for my dates in 2022.”
Saget was best known for playing patriarch Danny Tanner from 1987 to 1995 on the hit ABC sitcom “Full House,” as well as the longtime host of America’s Funniest Home Videos from 1989 to 1997.
In the world of comedy, Saget had a reputation for edgy, even raunchy, jokes. He was the target of a Comedy Central celebrity roast in 2008.
