A week after his death, Bob Saget got one more show on “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”
A 90-second memorial tribute to the comedian aired ahead of Sunday night’s episode, honoring the “backbone” of the clip show he hosted from 1989 to 1997.
“Bob Saget is synonymous with ‘AFV’ to this day,” current host Alfonso Ribeiro introduced. “This show wouldn’t have been the same without his unique sense of humor. It’s been my honor to continue carrying the torch Bob so brightly lit. Take a look back at Bob being Bob.”
A montage of Saget’s more memorable bits ran, as well as an interview with his successor, Tom Bergeron, for the show’s 20th anniversary.
Saget, 65, was found dead Jan. 9 in his Orlando hotel room, a day after kicking off his stand-up tour. He was buried Sunday at a private funeral in Los Angeles.
A cause of death has not been publicly announced but police and a preliminary autopsy have ruled out foul play and drugs.
