Bob Saget, R.I.P.

If Bob Saget was here now and you told him that Bob Saget had been found dead in a Florida hotel room, he would instantly have come up with a joke in the worst possible taste about it.

I never met the man but I know how liked and respected he was by other comedians who had every reason to be jealous of his success. I did see him perform live a few times and I know that if you didn't find him hilarious, it was probably because you never saw him perform live.

He was one of those guys who needed your undivided attention for more than five minutes and your tolerance for jokes that would have never made it past Broadcast and Standards on ABC, NBC or CBS. Hell, some of them wouldn't have made it past Larry Flynt. This is not a good time for us to be losing so many funny people.
