That time Saget wouldn't shut up.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with the now-late Bob Saget on a couple of occasions, including a 45-minute interview I had with him that I attached above.

The reason I went bold and underlined the "45-minute interview" above is that NOBODY wants to talk to me for that long.

And not only that, I am notorious for fucking up interviews by talking too much, but Saget took control of this discussion from start to finish.  

Before we started, he asked how long it should go?  I told him we like to keep these talks to sub-20 minutes.  And if you watch it the whole way through (and God bless you, if you do), I almost had to tear him out of the seat to stop talking 45 minutes later.

He died while on tour, which is what he alluded to in our interview (after I said he was never going to stop comedy), which is kinda spooky now, but not really.

And like a said before, I talked with him on only 3 or 4 occasions.  Plus, we spoke only a handful of times on social media following each of his appearances.  But the man was always on... Always professional... And always very funny.

Believe it or not, I wasn't a big Full House guy, but I enjoyed his standup a great deal, he was great in Entourage, and he directed Dirty Work starring the late-great Norm MacDonald, the late-great Jack Warden, the late-great Don Rickles, and the somehow-alive Artie Lange. 

He was one of the most engaging celebrities I have ever had the opportunity to meet, and he will be sorely missed.

Rest in peace.
