To Sir with Love. One of my favourite all time films. Still moves me every time I hear the song.
RIP Sidney.

That’s a bit sad. If I get to 94 though, I’ll be pretty pleased.

Very sad, many will remember Bob as an actor on a very average sitcom. But those whom love comedy would know he was a very well respected stand up comedian first, and a surprise to many, rolled very blue.
He was hilarious in many podcasts he would frequent and was known to be an extremely kind and friendly champion to up and coming comedians. Respected as an equal among many of the “big hitters” in the comedic world. This loss will hit the industry hard, much like Norms loss.

The world is a lesser place without these two.
The look on Saget’s face is priceless. “That’s offensive but I can’t be angry because it’s ■■■■■■■ funny”

That one’s a bit of a surprise. I’d guess it was probably a heart attack.
It’s always kind of been hard to take him seriously because of his most well-known role, but you can tell a lot about him just based on what all of his peers are saying today.
I think the Full House thing actually served him well because it made his real comedic personality a lot more shocking, and thus more effective.
The guy made bank.
Full House & America’s Funniest Home Videos.
Then was the narrator for How I Met Your Mother.
Had a very successful career.
