In 1989, Saget debuted as the first host of America’s Funniest Home Videos, a role he held until 1997. On the show, he was known for his clean “dad jokes,” again very much at odds with his stand-up material.

The family of actor and comedian Bob Saget, who died Sunday at age 65, is remembering the "love and laughter" that he "brought to the world."

"I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight," he wrote, adding that he was "happily addicted" to his work.

One of the most kind & thoughtful people I’ve ever come across & he just happened to be one of the funniest on the planet. And so sorry to the rest of the family. I'm stunned beyond belief — @bobsaget has died. I'm confused and sad here… I just spoke with him a couple days ago and we just had the most beautiful podcast chat over the holidays.
