\"I'm back in comedy like I was when I was 26,\" he added in his Instagram post caption. \"I guess I'm finding my new voice and loving every moment of it.\"

Following the news of his death, his \"Full House\" cast released a joint statement on social media to honor their co-star and friend.
\"Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family,\" they wrote in the statement. \"Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob. He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us. Bob, we love you dearly. We ask in Bob's honor, hug the people you love. No one gave better hugs than Bob.\"
Actress Kat Dennings, who starred alongside Saget in the 2001 sitcom \"Raising Dad,\" wrote on Twitter, \"I just can't believe it. What a wonderful guy. He always went out of his way to make me comfortable and talked nonstop about his kids. Such a loss.\"
\"I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock,\" Saget's longtime friend and \"Full House\" co-star John Stamos tweeted. \"I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.\"
Norman Lear also took to Twitter to honor his friend.

\"Bob Saget was as lovely a human as he was funny,\" Lear wrote. \"And to my mind, he was hilarious. We were close friends and I could not have loved him more.\"
In December, following the death of Betty White, Saget paid tribute to the actress in an Instagram post and reflected briefly about his thoughts on death.
\"She always said the love of her life was her husband, Allen Ludden, who she lost in 1981,\" Saget wrote. \"Well, if things work out by Betty's design -- in the afterlife, they are reunited. I don't know what happens when we die, but if Betty says you get to be with the love of your life, then I happily defer to Betty on this.\"
Saget will be remembered for his comedy, not just for his role on \"Full House\" and \"Fuller House,\" but also for his appearances on \"America's Funniest Home Videos\" and \"How I Met Your Mother,\" and for his standup and comedy specials.
Saget is survived by Rizzo and his three daughters from his first marriage to Sherri Kramer.
