When Bob Saget died unexpectedly in Florida last January at the age of 65, it seemed as if everyone who had ever spent any time with Saget had a story to tell about his generosity of spirit and his kindness and of course his ability to make you laugh and laugh. It’s a cliché to say a popular comic and actor was universally beloved by his peers, but in Mr. Saget’s case, the cliché really seems to hold true.
Little wonder, then, that everyone from Jim Carrey to Chris Rock to Paul Rodriguez to Michael Keaton to Jon Lovitz to Tim Allen and even John Mayer and Jackson Browne turned up in person or via video to pay tribute to Saget at the Comedy Store in West Los Angeles — and the memorial was recorded for a special titled “Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute,” directed by Mike Binder and dropping Friday on Netflix.
