Saget played a hilariously exaggerated version of himself in the HBO dramedy, which now streams on HBO Max. In Seasons 2, 6 and 7, Saget was a neighbor of movie star Vince (Adrian Grenier).

Saget’s 2014 memoir is a candid and hilarious reflection on his life, from painful lows to awesome highs.
Scleroderma Research Foundation
Saget hosted the charity’s annual Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine benefit over 30 times, raising funds to defeat the deadly disease that kills as many as 10,000 Americans every year. In the days after his January 9 passing, nearly $100,000 in donations came in to fight scleroderma. Even in death, Saget is making the world a better place.
