‘Give me a sign’: John Stamos tells Miami crowd about the day Bob Saget died
Fans of beloved ‘80s sitcom “Full House” were in for a treat if they were able to catch John Stamos in town for Art Basel.
The 60-year-old actor/musician took part in Tribeca Festival’s Storytellers sessions at Miami Beach Botanical Garden on Friday afternoon to discuss his new memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me.”
Though Stamos has done a number of other projects since Full House,” it’s his role as cool uncle Jesse that will likely go in the lead of his obituary.
And he’s OK with that, despite recent tragedy surrounding the show about three single guys all helping to raise three little girls in San Francisco.
One of the stars, Bob Saget, who played widowed dad Danny Tanner, died in a freak accident at a luxury hotel room in Orlando, Florida, back in January 2022.
Saget wasn’t just Stamos’ costar on the long-running series, which ran from 1987 to 1995, he was one of his best friends.
The day Saget, 65, died was a tough one for Stamos, he admitted to moderator Leila Cobo, but there was one, incredible, bright spot.
When Stamos got the news, he said he immediately drove over to Saget’s L.A. house that the comic shared with wife Kelly Rizzo.
“I was in his backyard. I was like, ‘Come on Bob, show me a sign,’” the former “General Hospital” star recounted. “And it was quiet and I said, ‘Bob, tell me you’re OK,’ and nothing.
“And all of a sudden, this little hummingbird came down. It had red around, and my mom had red hair, and it was kind of like ... ‘Bob’s OK.’”
