Everyone has a Bob Saget story.
That has become evident over the past 48 hours, as tributes, testimonials, and a whole lot of photo-ops have sprang up across the internet to pay tribute to the famed actor and comedian, who unexpectedly passed away Sunday (January 9) at the age of 65. Our own comedy editor, Jason Greenough, paid tribute to Saget yesterday with a personal anecdote about meeting him after a show at The Wilbur, and many around the world shared similar anecdotes about the Full House star’s graciousness and friendliness. Bob Sagat, it seemed, always had the time.
His awesome spontaneity has also been highlighted, and that’s at the forefront of a story relayed via Twitter by Guster drummer Brian Rosenworcel. Back in 2007, Guster were playing the Opera House in Boston, and extended an invite to Saget to join them on stage — and more specifically, to crash through a DIY banner during the encore. Sagat was appearing nearby at The Orpheum that night — and accepted the offer. But not everyone in Guster was in on it.
We’ll let Rosenworcel tell the tale from here, because it’s pretty great all around. Just like Bob.
And yeah, there’s video. Check it out below.
