Early Life

Robert Lane Saget, popularly known as Bob, was born on May 17, 1956, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents are Jewish. Benjamin, his father, was a grocery executive, and Rosalyn “Dolly,” his mother, was a hospital administrator.

As a child, he lived in California before returning to Philadelphia, where he attended Abington Senior High School. After graduating from high school in 1975, he went on to study film at Temple University.

His student film “Through Adam’s Eyes,” about a youngster who had reconstructive facial surgery, got a distinction prize in the Student Academy Awards. In 1978, he graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Career

Despite beginning his career in stand-up comedy and relentlessly traveling across the country, Saget’s first taste of fame came when he appeared on television. In 1981, he made his first appearance on “The Merv Griffin Show.”

He then had a brief appearance on CBS’s “The Morning Program” in early 1987, but it was his role as Danny Tanner on the show “Full House” that made him a household celebrity. From its third season onwards, the series was continuously listed in the Nielsen Top 30.

Its popularity has grown as a result of syndicated replays. Saget plays a widower father Danny Tanner, who raises his three kids with the assistance of his brother-in-law Jesse and best friend Joey. The show ran from 1987 to 1995 and had a total of eight seasons and 192 episodes.

Saget also began working as the host of the show “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (AFV) in 1989, a position he held until 1997. He worked on “Full House” and AFV concurrently in the early 1990s, while both shows were aired. Saget directed the ABC television film “For Hope” in 1996.

It was inspired by the life of his sister, Gay Saget, who died three years before from scleroderma. In 1998, Saget directed his debut feature picture, “Dirty Work,” starring Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange. It was critically panned when it was released and did poorly at the box office.

However, it has since become a cult classic, probably due to Lange’s subsequent notoriety on “The Howard Stern Show.” Saget co-starred in The WB sitcom “Raising Dad” from October 2001 to May 2002, alongside Kat Dennings, Brie Larson, and Jerry Adler.

Saget also wrote, directed, and starred in the 2007 direct-to-DVD film “Farce of the Penguins,” a spoof of the 2005 nature documentary “March of the Penguins.” From 2005 to 2010, Saget participated in four episodes of the HBO series “Entourage,” in which he portrayed a caricature of himself.

Other Projects

Saget is a published author in addition to his other endeavors in television and movies. In 2014, his book “Dirty Daddy” was discovered. He writes about his life, profession, comedy, and other experiences in it.

He promoted the book’s release by embarking on his first stand-up tour in Australia, dubbed “Bob Saget Live: The Dirty Daddy Tour.” The tour included performances in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth. In April 2020, he and Studio71 started their podcast “Bob Saget’s Here For You.”

Personal Life

From May 1982 to November 1997, Saget was married to Sherri Kramer. They shared three daughters.

He married Kelly Rizzo in 2018 and were together until he died in January 2022.

Bob served on the board of the Scleroderma Research Foundation. He also played a significant role in raising funding and awareness for the disease his sister had.

Real Estate

Bob and his then-wife Sherri paid $2.5 million for a property in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades neighborhood in September 1990. That equates to slightly more than $5 million in today’s dollars.

He paid $2.9 million for a newly remodeled home in Los Angeles in June 2003. Bob’s widow Kelly Rizzo listed this home for $7.675 million in June 2022.
