"Full House" also brought fame to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen when it debuted in 1987. The twins issued a joint statement, which called Saget "the most loving, compassionate and generous man."

"We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has," the Olsens said.

Dave Coulier, who played Danny's best friend, said he'll "never let go."

Candace Cameron Bure, who portrayed Danny’s eldest daughter D.J. Tanner, echoed her shock.

"I don’t know what to say," Cameron Bure wrote on Twitter. "I have no words. Bob was one of the best humans beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much."

Jodie Sweetin, who portrayed Danny’s middle daughter, Stephanie Tanner, shared a series of photos on Instagram alongside some of her favorite memories. 

"He and Dave dancing together at my 13th Birthday party, being ridiculous, as usual. Spending weekends at his house with his daughters when I was young, and having blueberry pancakes. The time I out "Bob’d" Bob, with some joke I told. Him telling me he was proud of me," she wrote. 

"You were supposed to be here longer…How Rude," she added, paying homage to Stephanie’s famous "Full House" catchphrase.

Andrea Barber, who portrayed D.J.‘s friend Kimmy Gibbler, said on Instagram that Saget "had the biggest heart of anyone in Hollywood" and gave "the biggest hugs," alongside an image of the two embracing.

Blake Tuomy-Wilhoit, an actor who played the role of Jesse and Becky's twin son on the show, also shared a tribute on social media.

Saget gained a slew of new "Fuller House" family castmates when he reprised the Danny Tanner role in 2016’s "Fuller House." Elias Harger, who portrayed Danny Tanner’s grandson Max Fuller, said Saget "will always be my Grandpa Danny."

Adam Hagenbuch, who portrayed Kimmy Gibbler’s brother, Jimmy Gibbler, and Stephanie Tanner’s love interest, wrote that Saget could "cheer anyone up and he’d do or say just about anything to get people to crack a smile. I’ll miss him big time."

And John Brotherton, who portrayed Matt Harmon and a love interest of D.J. Tanner, said Saget’s "heart was abundantly full of love and kindness for others."

Netflix, who green-lighted the revival of the beloved sitcom and produced five seasons, called Saget "America's dad." 

Saget was also heard as the narrator on "How I Met Your Mother," which ran for nine seasons on CBS.

"Bob Saget was the older wiser ‘me’ for nine years on How I Met Your Mother," tweeted cast member Josh Radnor. "He was the kindest, loveliest, funniest, most supportive man. The easiest person to be around. A mensch among mensches."

From 1989 to 1997, Saget hosted the popular show "America’s Funniest Home Videos." As a comedian, Saget was known for his adult-centered standup routines. His comedy tour brought him to Orlando for a show on Friday night. The following night he had a show in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Bob Saget: Zero to Sixty (2017): Just because Saget’s off-sitcom persona was a teeny bit raunchier than viewers might expect doesn’t mean he’s not still "the last TV father viewers can trust," a title he embraces in this stand-up special he saw as "a warm embrace in this troubled times." It’s still not for kids, though.
