Bob Saget, the actor-comedian known for his role as beloved single dad Danny Tanner on the sitcom "Full House" and as the wisecracking host of "America's Funniest Home Videos," died while on a stand-up tour.

Deputies in Orange County, Florida, were called Sunday about an "unresponsive man" in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando and found Saget dead, according to a sheriff's statement on Twitter.

Saget was in Florida as part of his "I Don't Do Negative Comedy Tour." After warm audience receptions to his gigs Friday in Orlando and Saturday in the Ponte Vedra Beach resort area, he celebrated online.

I will never ever have another friend like him," wrote John Stamos, who co-starred with Saget on "Full House." "I love you so much Bobby.".

I loved him so much," said Candace Cameron Bure, who played Saget's daughter on "Full House.".

Saget the stand-up showed his flip side with what become a much-talked-about cameo in the 2005 documentary "The Aristocrats" -- in which 100 comics riffed on the world's dirtiest joke -- that revealed his notoriously filthy sense of humor.

It stayed undercover on network TV, both as the longtime host of "America's Funniest Home Videos" and as the squeaky clean widower and father to three young girls on "Full House," the ABC sitcom that also brought fame to Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley when it debuted in 1987.

Saget, as amiable and droll in an interview as he was on TV screens, took the brickbats in stride

That year, Saget took another pass at playing a widowed dad with winsome kids on the short-lived sitcom "Raising Dad."

Saget was born in Philadelphia on May 17, 1956, to Benjamin, a supermarket executive, and Rosalyn, who worked in hospital administration

He left the college but stayed in Los Angeles and shifted to stand-up comedy, which led to small roles in TV and film before he found success with "Full House." He also appeared in some episodes of the sitcom's "Fuller House" 2016-20 sequel and was heard as the narrator on "How I Met Your Mother," which ran for nine seasons on CBS

In early 2020, Saget was preparing for the start of his comedy tour when the pandemic put it on hold

Saget had daughters Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer with first wife Sherri Kramer before divorcing in 1997
