In one of his first appearances on the HBO comedy, Bob introduces himself as Vincent Chase’s (Adrian Grenier) next-door neighbor. The show about a group of friends running around in Hollywood’s famous circles often featured real-life celebrities, but Saget was a definite favorite among fans.
The Voice of How I Met Your Mother
Man, Bob Saget. I constantly come back to this clip from HIMYM. A poignant monologue purely through voice-over and this scene wouldn’t have worked if he didn’t nail that emotion. Everytime I hear him say “You know what I’d do first” it gets me. Now even more so. #RIP pic.twitter.com/XschpJCxla

Josh Radnor may have been the face of Ted Mosby in CBS‘s fan-favorite comedy How I Met Your Mother, but Bob Saget was the voice. The comedian lent his vocals to the voice-overs telling the stories in each episode, playing an older version of Ted. Ultimately, the show just wouldn’t be the same without him.
