Netflix's Bob Saget Tribute: The Most Touching (And Wildly Inappropriate) Moments From Dirty Daddy Special

How do you say goodbye to someone like Bob Saget? There was no one-size-fits-all answer for his nearest and dearest, who gathered to pay their respects during Netflix's Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute. 

Filmed Jan. 30 at the Comedy Store in West Hollywood, the somber event served as "a celebration of Bob's life in comedy" and the mark he made as Danny Tanner, "America's Dad," on ABC's Full House.

"I've been saying that I'm not ready to say goodbye to him," John Stamos remarked at the top of the special. "It just doesn't seem real to me.... I see him out there, still doing what he does best: I see him on that stage, killing it, another two-hour set. He gets a standing ovation, brings out his guitar, does one of his funny songs... gets an encore, another encore, another encore... All of us would really like another encore from Bob tonight."

What followed was a trip down memory lane, filled with tears, with laughter, and with joy. Keep scrolling for a roundup of the saddest, funniest and most cathartic moments...

♦ Saget's widow, Kelly Saget-Rizzo (pictured), recalled how Saget loved to give her "the tour" of his beloved Comedy Store, and how he'd "beam" as he spoke of all the "crazy s–t that went on here," including all the places that people did coke in the '80s — and there were a lot of stops on the tour about that." Above all, "he loved being a part of this," she said. "The most important thing to him was belonging to this club, to this group... He loved everything about it and I know he would be..." She stopped. "He is so honored right now," she clarified. "Bob deserved all of the love in the world, and I loved him more than anything."

♦ Jim Carrey chose to turn a negative into a positive. "Bob wasn't something that was taken away from us," he said. "He was something that was given to us. And one day, when the laughs had hit a certain amount, he just unzipped his human suit and he went for a ride. And he's floating around right now, probably right through this room, at this very moment, flanked by angels, and they're saying, 'You made people laugh. You made people feel loved. And you made people money. You created a cathedral of f–king love in this world — and that was your life, Bob Saget. A cathedral of love, a cathedral of laughter. Goodness. Light.'"

♦ Seth Green was reminded of a similar event, when everyone gathered at The Comedy Store to mark the 2014 passing of Robin Williams. He and Saget "hugged real big" that night, he recalled, and "in that whole experience, it felt like everyone was all the more committed to not wasting a second, and not [wasting] an opportunity where you saw someone that you loved, and you said 'I love you, and you've meant something.' Like, Bob F–king Saget, guys... that mother f–ker meant something, and we were all lucky enough to get a mainline dose of it, in one way or another."

♦ Footage from a private memorial at Full House creator Jeff Franklin's home showed Candace Cameron-Bure, Dave Coulier, Dave Chappelle and Tim Allen pay their respects — but no one's eulogy hit harder than Coulier's. "I am going to take a long time in my life to process this," Coulier remarked. "I don't feel like this is an ending. I feel like this is the beginning of the celebration of this guy, who was my brother. I love him so much. I don't know what I'm going to do now without him, and I think we all feel that way," he said, referring not only to himself, but to his entire Full House family.

♦ Carrey, Jeff Ross and Chris Rock attempted to liven things up with an impromptu blues number, titled "The Bob Saget Blues." It wasn't so much a song as it was a chance to riff about the loss of their dear friend — and no joke was off limits. 

⃟ "John Mayer very, very, very generously hired a private jet to fly Bob's body home from where he died," Ross said. "But you might not know he also hired the Goodyear blimp to fly Louie Anderson's body home."

"It's not like we didn't love Bob," Carrey interjected. "It's not a question of loving Bob. We loved him. And it's not a question of loving Louie. The question is: 'Who's next?'"

⃟ "I think it's sad that the motherf–ker had to die to get Jim Carrey back on stage," Rock exclaimed. "If this is the only way for us to see you perform, I'm gonna kill Eddie Murphy next week."

⃟ "I think Bob is more popular now that he ever has been," Ross said, to which Rock added: "He America's dad... that's not a convicted rapist."

"You know, Bob, like Bill Cosby, was from Philadelphia," Ross pointed out. "But Bob, um, put people to sleep the old-fashioned way: By doing his act."

⃟ "[Bob] would have loved the outpouring of support from all over the world that he has gotten," Ross surmised. "And let's face it: Somebody had to knock that c–t Betty White off the Internet."

♦  Michael Keaton, who appeared in a pre-taped segment, was (allegedly) unaware that Saget died. "Let me see if I can work up some fake tears here," the Dopesick star deadpanned. "Nothing."

♦  Jon Lovitz, who was in Las Vegas for a gig, apologized for his absence. "Sorry I can't be there," he said. "A friend of mine, a comic, passed away, and I ended up getting his dates..."

♦ Stamos tapped into his personal archives to share some never-before-seen clips of Saget during their years on ABC's Full House and Netflix's Fuller House. The montage, which featured a reworked rendition of "Everywhere You Look" by Jackie Miskanic — aka American Idol Season 14 contestant Jax — concluded with clips of Full House's 1995 curtain call and Fuller House's 2020 series finale, as Saget exited the Tanner household for the last time. What followed was footage from the above-mentioned memorial at Franklin's home, where Stamos, Bure and Coulier were joined by Lori Loughlin, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

♦ Stamos, Rizzo and Saget's daughters, Lara and Aubrey, were all visibly weeping as Jackson Browne and John Mayer performed "These Days." But as the 80-plus minute special wound down, everyone traded their tears for smiles as they sang along to the seminal Saget song, "My Dog Licked My Balls" — and what better way to celebrate his life?
