Not to speak poorly of someone who died but anyone who watched his stand up comedy or listened to him on 'shock jock' radio would never call him "America's Dad". He got off on being the total opposite of his image on TV and being a 'wild and crazy' foul mouthed. drug using type of person. Just like how he was in his cameo in Entourage.
Any videos or audio of that? Which was his main persona? Did he do drugs?

Well, it’s not unfair to suspect OD. That’s almost always what “unresponsive in a hotel room” means. We all know this, now the question to me is are the police under any obligation to tell the truth about these things? If there was a pile of fentanyl laced fentanyl under him, they don’t have to say one way or another right? I remember when Trevor Moore died (rip) the cause was so hush it was weirdly suspicious for la…
Keep your speculation to yourself, it serves no purpose here.
A huge part of contributing to and reading HN is for speculation lol

#23Damn, first Norm now Bob. I won't speculate on his death, only say it's very unexpected to me in that he didn't come across as the drug or alcoholic type, at least in recent times. Seemed like a pretty healthy guy with a sharp mind. RIP.
With Norm, it was most likely a disgruntled moth.

I’ll give an example, with apologies to Dang as it’s pretty raunchy. I remember some comedian woman saying that Bob Saget’s favorite birthday present for women were ultra slim tampons. He’d say “put this prominently in your bathroom that way men will think you’re really tight.” If that gives you any idea.
I know in 2022 that’s not something you are supposed to laugh at…but damn, that’s funny as hell.

Thanks, that's great to read. In case my comment was taken the wrong way, I didn't mean to imply he OD'd or anything, I meant to imply that he didn't seem to be one that would OD, and 65 is relatively young to go unexpectedly. Shocked me!
I make a point of assuming any deaths I don't know the cause of were strokes. It can happen at any age, and it keeps me from speculating about something more lurid.

He has several standup specials. Among recurring themes:
- References to his role in Full House/AFHV (they made him wealthy)
- References to his role in Full House (having sex with a younger cast member)
- References to his role in Full House (cheap shots at the other adult cast members)
- Generally high-shock-value sexual references/innuendo
- Various self deprecating jokes mainly of a sexual deviancy nature
- A not-surprising-in-hindsight large amount of musical bits
- A general not so subtle hint that this, too, is all a facade and that while you may be appalled or interested in this other side of him it’s just as insincere

Probably neither... they were both for the audience. The 'America's Dad' thing came mostly from his stint on the show Full House in the 80's and 90's. However, his standup could get hilariously filthy and was as anti-'America's Dad' as one could imagine. I doubt it was a drug thing, he just had two different audiences he played to and did it well.

#28Wow. RIP.

He's probably still at the pearly gates(or whatever equivalent one believes in) telling the setup for that joke...

I suspect it was a heart attack, or similar kind of fatal situation.
