Saget had been touring his standup show, "I Don't Do Negative" in the US since September and the night before his death, he performed in Jacksonville.

He took to Twitter to share a selfie on stage and thank the audience for attending before plugging the remaining dates on his tour which was set to wrap up in June.

"Loved tonight’s show @PV_ConcertHall in Jacksonville. Appreciative audience. Thanks again to @RealTimWilkins for opening. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight. I’m happily addicted again to this shit. Check http://BobSaget.com for my dates in 2022," Saget wrote.

Along with his iconic near 10-year role on Full House, Saget also hosted America's Funniest Home Videos from 1989 to '97 and made a name for himself with his raunchy brand of standup comedy.

He returned as Danny for Netflix's Fuller House reboot in 2016, reuniting with his former co-stars John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone) and Lori Loughlin (Rebecca Donaldson-Katsopolis).

Saget was the voice behind Ted Mosby, the narrator of How I Met Your Mother for nine seasons and in 2014 he released an autobiography, Dirty Daddy.

More recently, Saget had launched his own podcast, "Bob Saget's Here for You" and appeared as the Squiggly Monster on the US version of The Masked Singer.

Saget is survived by his second wife, Kelly Rizzo, and three adult daughters who he shared with his first wife, Sherri Kramer.
