'Full House' cast cries remembering Bob Saget 2 years after his death
The stars of "Full House" are marking two years without Bob Saget with a tear-jerking tribute.
John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber shared a discussion on Tuesday about the two-year anniversary of their late co-star's death. The comedian, who played Danny Tanner on the classic sitcom, was found dead in his hotel room on Jan. 9, 2022. He was 65.
"It almost gets weirder as time goes on, because I'm like, 'Wow, it's been a long time since I've heard from Bob,'" Barber said in a clip of the conversation shared by Stamos on TikTok and Instagram. "And then I'm like, 'Oh.' You know? It's so weird to have gone two years without getting a crazy long text from him or a neurotic phone call."
Sweetin agreed, sharing that she frequently is taken aback when she sees someone "that in my peripheral looks like Bob" in public. "It has stopped me more than once," said the actress, who wore a Bob Saget sweatshirt for the occasion.
Stamos reflected that the grief "never goes away," and he wrote in the TikTok caption that the "sharp pain" he felt when Saget died has become a part of him.

"I don't even want to get used to it," he said. "I think I still want to be hurting from it, but he doesn't want us to be that way, right?"
After the group delighted in looking back at video of Saget crying at Bure's wedding, Coulier said it's important to keep loved ones alive "by talking about them and celebrating them" in this way, and Bure choked up as she noted the actor is the "closest person" she has lost in her life.
"It's been so nice to have people just sit in the grief with you, and I never realized that before," she said.
Grief, Sweetin added, is "just love unreturned, and it just means that you love someone so much, but you can't get it back in the same way anymore."
The Orange County chief medical examiner determined in February 2022 that Saget's cause of death was head trauma. Joshua Stephany, Chief Medical Examiner of Orange and Osceola counties, said the actor's injuries were "most likely incurred from an unwitnessed fall." He was found in a hotel room in Florida, where he had been performing stand-up. No drugs or alcohol were involved.

Kelly Rizzo, Saget's widow, also shared a tribute, writing on Instagram that two years "simultaneously feels like a week and an eternity." She reposted the last photo that Saget shared on his own Instagram before his death, which was taken after a stand-up show.
"I chose this photo of Bob as not only was it the last photo he shared and one of the last texts he sent me, but it perfectly encapsulates how he would want all of us to remember him," Rizzo wrote. "With his guitar, on a stage, doing what he loved to do…making people laugh…making people happy."
