Katie has paid tribute to the late Bob Saget
"Bob had kicked off a nationwide stand-up tour in September 2020 that was set to run through June of this year. (He was funny and often filthy on stage - the complete opposite of his tv persona.) His last performance was on Saturday in Jacksonville. One on one he was wonderful - funny, bright and incredibly charming. Just the nicest guy. Sending so much love and sympathy to his family and many friends."
