Bob Saget's wife, pals John Stamos, Jeff Ross, and more honor his memory at LA's Comedy Store
foxnews.comBob Saget's family members and friends in Hollywood gathered this week to pay tribute to the late actor-comedian at Los Angeles' The Comedy Store.
Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, and his daughters were joined by a bevy of his celebrity pals including John Stamos, Jeff Ross, John Mayer, Jim Carrey, and Chris Rock, for a "loosely structured" evening full of laughter on Sunday, Stamos' publicist Matt Polk confirmed in an email to Fox News Digital.
Saget, a comedic giant also known for his longtime TV roles as "Full House" patriarch Danny Tanner and the former host of "America's Funniest Home Videos," died suddenly last month. "After shedding tears and sharing sincere remembrances of their family member, friend, philanthropist and funnyman Bob Saget at his funeral two weeks ago, it was time for those who loved him most to give him the sendoff he would have truly loved," Polk said. "Since Bob left this world mid-joke on a comedy tour, it only felt right to honor his memory in a place where the lights are low, the drinks flow freely, and the gut-punch of pain is overcome with belly laughs of love."
