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.

He was never required to live life in a way consistent with a character he played on television. He didn’t “get off” on anything. He had a brand of comedy that he enjoyed and his audience enjoyed it too. That brand didn’t play well for mainstream television, but then again it’s a paying job.

I wasn’t particularly fond of Saget, but I know that Norm Macdonald (a man I did deeply respect) held him in the highest regard and thus I have this sort of laundered respect for him.
