TMZ - First to Report
As was the case with the beloved Betty White, TMZ was once again the first news organization to report on a celebrity's death. IMHO they are the best source for celebrity deaths. 73.65.212.57 (talk) 01:06, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No more sections like this please as the talk page is for improving the article. To be brief, the policy is WP:TMZ.  You can try taking it up with the appropriate noticeboard to add an exemption for the deaths of people, but I don't see that succeeding.  Regarding the article, no one currently has an issue with TMZ being the source in the article.  If someone does, I will add The Today Show as a second source or someone else will add an appropriate source.  --Super Goku V (talk)

More info on stand-up career?
There's surprisingly little information on his stand-up career; afaict he's been doing it since at least the late seventies (according to IMDB) but the first mention in the article (outside the intro) is the mention of a DVD release in 2007! I get that his mainstream fame came from TV but it makes it sound like he got started as an actor before ever did stand-up. 67.163.39.181 (talk) 04:07, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It is quite the blind spot, but it’s possible the journey hasn’t been preserved well or is more difficult to track. Who knows what publications either never made it to the internet or was never digitally archived--CreecregofLife (talk) 04:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Choosing a good picture for Saget following his death
As standard on Wikipedia, the image for infoboxes for notable people is altered following their death with an image of such now deceased person when they were considered in their prime if I remember correctly. I noticed Popculturelover2021 added an image already, although it was undone by Bernie Parker. Have we decided on a good image yet? In my opinion we could do better with the image for the infobox. elijahpepe@wikipedia 02:49, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't believe it is actually a policy to do so. It just seems to be a preference.  --Super Goku V (talk) 02:58, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

We'll see. Until its been decided i will keep the current photo to avoid edit warring. Popculturelover2021 (talk) 02:51, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

This was also the only picture i could find of him during his peak years. Popculturelover2021 (talk) 02:52, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It’s a completely unnecessary move. I’m against it.--CreecregofLife (talk) 03:01, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Infobox images should be high quality, exemplary representations of the subject. A well-composed, nicely lit portrait style shot is a better lead image than a grainy, washed out snapshot, even if it's not from Saget's "peak years". If a higher quality portrait of Saget from the 80s/90s can be obtained, all the better. --Animalparty! (talk) 07:42, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * You're right. Best to maintain a standard of professionalism on the quality of image, but if one is found from the period of his prime that's usable, I'd support that. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 08:15, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

The Ritz Carlton is in Orlando. It’s not in downtown Orlando but it is still part of the city of Orlando, hence the Orlando in the address. I know this as I live very close to it and I also live in Orlando. 76.26.187.181 (talk) 08:06, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

You can say “Grande Lakes, Orlando” if you really don’t want to put just Orlando but Orange County is worse than putting Orlando. It is not part of Williamsburg, Sky Lake or any of the neighboring areas. 76.26.187.181 (talk) 08:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Please remove all the information about how people react to his death. It is not relevant. That is information in ordanary media. It is not a fact that family and friends are sad when someone is dead. Wikipedia is not a normal newspaper looking for klicks.

Childhood home
Bob grew up in Norfolk, Virginia. He went to Larrymore Elementary school, Azalea Gardens Middle School, and briefly, Lake Taylor HS. 172.248.89.87 (talk) 20:58, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Got sources?--CreecregofLife (talk) 21:03, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Apparently, this is from The Virginian-Pilot. There is a 2010 article that contains details about his childhood in Norfolk.  There is also a mention in an existing source, "Saget was born in Philadelphia in 1956 and raised in a Conservative home in Norfolk, Va. 'My bar mitzvah was in Philadelphia, because we had no family in Norfolk, so I didn't have any friends at my bar mitzvah, which kind of bummed me out,' he says."  (I initially saw the Norfolk part in a different source, but it didn't elaborate and I was under the mistaken impression he briefly lived in Virginia, not briefly lived in California.)  --Super Goku V (talk) 22:26, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah I noticed after that the user missed the section requesting the same information be added a few sections up--CreecregofLife (talk) 22:28, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Sources to improve article
This article needs a lot of work. It mostly reads like a bunch of facts thrown at a wall, with zero thought going to weight and proportion: his most famous role (Danny Tanner), gets equal or less coverage than trivial, forgettable performances. The WP:RECENTISM of Tweets from his death should not drown out his career: in 5, 10, or 50 years, will he be known as the guy who had a 4 month stint in The Drowsy Chaperone, had a gangrenous appendix as a youth, released a podcast, was in some 90s sitcom, and got some sentimental tweets when he died? ​That's massively imbalanced. The WP:PROSELINE style is bad writing and tedious reading. Here are ​some additional sources spanning his career: the aspects that have the most coverage should get the greatest emphasis. --Animalparty! (talk) 07:36, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you’re wanting to tip the scales though. He had more than one most famous role but you want us to focus on one? That’s not balanced at all.--CreecregofLife (talk) 16:09, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Orlando versus Orange County
Since this seems to need to be cleared up. According to Variety, the hotel is located in Orlando. However, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is the one investigating. Should we list it as Orlando, Orange County, or a third option? --Super Goku V (talk) 03:34, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The place of death is the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, which lies outside of the Orlando city limits in unincorporated Orange County. This is why the Orange County Sheriff responded, not the Orlando Police. Sources will readily report that the hotel is “in Orlando” because it uses the place name “Orlando” in its mailing address. However, this is incorrect – an address has to lie within the Orlando city limits to actually be “in Orlando”. The place of death can only be correctly indicated as “Unincorporated Orange County”. Trorov (talk) 03:55, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That is the problem. We need to go with what the sources say, unless some compromise is worked out that would work.  At the moment, even the local sources are saying Orlando: WOFL, WKMG-TV, WESH.  --Super Goku V (talk) 06:08, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Is there a name for the community or area of the hotel where he died? Is Grande Lakes the name of the area? It is directly east of Williamsburg, Florida. The map of Williamsburg in Orange County doesn't show any bordered area adjacent to Williamsburg. I've tried searching online to find a name but can't find one. It seems strange that an inhabited area wouldn't have a name. Even though it is not part of a city or census-designated area, I would expect there to be an informal name of a neighborhood or community. Nine hundred ninety-nine (talk) 04:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It could be unincorporated, but the mailing address is for Orlando. --Super Goku V (talk) 06:08, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It is unincorporated, but unincorporated populated places often have names. For example, Williamsburg is unincorporated. Nine hundred ninety-nine (talk) 06:57, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, now I gotcha. I have seen a mention or two of "Central Florida Parkway", but I thought that was the road.  I can try to look through Category:Unincorporated communities in Orange County, Florida for ideas, but I am not expecting much.  --Super Goku V (talk) 07:41, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Nothing. I do not believe that it has a name. (If it does, it is "Grande Lake" based on one of the other talk page sections.  Though no actual results come up under that.)  Not even the Census Bureau has that location named for the area.  All I can really find is that it is part of Census Track 170.06 in Orange County.  (And that goes into WP:OR territory.)  I believe the only real options is to pick between Orlando or Orange County or have a note be placed next to the text.  --Super Goku V (talk) 09:04, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I suppose the way the article is now is what works best: leaving it as Orange County, Florida in the infobox and including the details in Bob_Saget, that he died in the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes near Williamsburg. Nine hundred ninety-nine (talk) 10:23, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I guess I didn't consider enough how it currently is. The current format is fine with me.  (The main issue I had was that Twitter source and it is currently still out of the article as there wasn't a reasonable way of resolving the Template:Primary source inline without a discussion due to the sources.)  --Super Goku V (talk) 13:27, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

ABC Announces Bob’s Death During America’s Funniest Home Videos
I realize that he was the original host of the show decades ago but why is this even mentioned here? It’s trivial in comparison to what he did while he was alive. In 40 years, will this be a significant post-death detail? My opinion is no. Kristinafh (talk) 07:44, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. I’ve been contemplating even getting rid of the costar quotes, and just giving a line that lists off the pertinent costars who have given their…eulogies, would it? It’s also especially Full House-biased, when Raising Dad costar Kat Dennings made a mourning post and that’s not there at all.--CreecregofLife (talk) 07:49, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Personally, I would say it would be that they broke into regular programming (not common) and the connection between the program they interrupted and the person who died. Regardless, I think it would be fine to axe or condense it.  --Super Goku V (talk) 13:37, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Saget was born in Philadelphia but grew up in Norfolk, Virginia. The Saget family lived in an apartment complex in Riverpoint and in a house on Forsythe Street before eventually settling down on Kingsway Road, in Larrymore Lawns. Saget attended Larrymore Elementary, Azalea Gardens Middle School and, briefly, Lake Taylor High. “My whole adolescence was there,” he told The Pilot in 2010. “I was Jewish and was friends with a lot of people, so I was on the bar mitzvah circuit for most of when I was 13.” His first film roles were in Norfolk, he said. “I actually first started making movies there, when I was about 9 years old. It was like my own little video show, except with my 8-millimeter camera, and I’d put my friends in it, just doing stupid, rambunctious kid stuff. You know, shoplifting, starting fires ... things like that.” His family moved to California after only a semester at Norfolk's Lake Taylor High, but he said he still had fond memories of the azaleas at Norfolk Botanical Garden and fishing at Ocean View and the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. 2600:8805:508:FF00:ADAB:AF37:5F6D:A4E8 (talk) 00:08, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Article now mentions Norfolk and that he now mentions that he attended Lake Taylor High School.
 * Article does not mention where exactly he lived as I am sure if it is notable enough to include and it does not mention the Elementary and Middle Schools as I could not figure out a good way to word it. The rest seemed to be too much detail.
 * If you want to make a further request, feel free to just use this section and it will be looked at. The same goes for if you do not like the wording used in the article.  --Super Goku V (talk) 14:53, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Bob Saget spent a large part of his childhood growing up in Norfolk, Va. He attended Larrymore Lawns Elementary School, Azalea Gardens Middle School, and, briefly, Lake Taylor High School.

'The Aristocrats' film involvement
He was involved in this film:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aristocrats_(film)

And I think this should be included in his Wikipedia entry. 209.117.57.230 (talk) 19:22, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Unless I missed something, it is already mentioned in the "Filmography" section. --Super Goku V (talk) 22:28, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

But it warrants inclusion because it was both a departure from his squeaky-clean TV dad persona and more aligned with who he was as a comic. In particular, the quote from Jim Krenn should be included. More: Vancheri, Barbara (August 21, 2005). "Film offers an insider's look at comedians' dirty little secret -- A joke that Bob Saget admits is 'bad, wrong, ugly'". Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. p. E-3. https://www.post-gazette.com/uncategorized/2005/08/21/Film-offers-an-insider-s-look-at-comedians-dirty-little-secret-a-joke-that-Bob-Saget-admits-is-bad-wrong-ugly/stories/200508210198

That article also goes into work Saget did post-Full House, including stage. --me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C0:6E81:6160:0:0:0:B8B5 (talk) 15:45, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * As mentioned, it is already done as it currently included in the article in the "Filmography" section. If you are asking for it to be added to the "2001–2022" section as well, then that isn't done, but it can be.  However, the most I currently know about the film is that: It is an infamous documentary that Saget starred in, that it has to do with a dirty joke, and that it took Saget seven minutes to tell the joke.  I can add a small line to the 2001-2022 part, but I would like to request how you want it to read in the article as you seem to have a much better understanding then what I do which would expand the text and explain its importance.  --Super Goku V (talk) 16:36, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

I didn't ask for it originally, but I concur. The documentary is infamous. Saget's participation was in complete opposition to his TV dad persona, which is why it is noteworthy. His peers new about the "dirty" material all along, but the public did not. It also sets up his transition from TV to other media. It's not too difficult to understand. CinemaBlend also has a lot of articles on Saget, which includes one on the film. 2601:1C0:6E81:6160:0:0:0:B8B5 (talk) 01:47, 13 January 2022 (UTC) Hello!

Question about the Personal life and/or Death sections
I accept that the many tributes were removed due to what some felt was the unencyclopedic tone of that section, but I had a proposal/question: the inordinate amount of testimonials maintaining Saget was one of the most giving, loyal, and ethical people in show business goes beyond the usual loyalty/flattery of fellow actors and family. The opinions themselves may be subjective, but he had an objectively exceptional reputation, the point of it being both notable and heavily documented.

Is there any chance if someone could switch his occupations around and in the first sentence of the article? Because we know he’s more then a stand-up comedian, but he’s mostly notably for being an actor too.

Edit examples here: stand-up comedian · actor · television host to Actor · stand-up comedian · television host

Second edit example here: was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and television host. to was an American actor stand-up comedian, and television host.

P.S. Plus, his short description section above the article can also be changed to American comedian, actor, and TV host (1956–2022) to American actor, comedian and TV host (1956–2022) 73.68.19.118 (talk) 20:03, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

You know what? I’m done putting up with you. I’m just gonna create an account and I will do it myself. I’m sick and tired of you declining my requests all the time, this is literally the 10th time you did this to me, I’m done with this. I even asked you politely to stop doing this and yet you continue to do it. The reason why I removed it before is because I know it was gonna get declined just like you did it right now. First off, you don’t need to be sarcastic towards me on re-opening this request. I just wanted to have one simple edit fixed, that’s all. But as I’m not surprised it got declined l, I will do it myself. 73.68.19.118 (talk) 20:43, 11 February 2022 (UTC)


 * This may surprise you, but I didn't deny the request. It's also fairly likely your edit will be reverted. This page has over three hundred watchers, and none made the edit for you. Perhaps you should try to convince people that your proposal is correct, instead of getting angry. As far as creating an account, that's probably a good idea. Just having a watchlist makes it worthwhile. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:48, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

I’m not angry, I’m just really annoyed. Because you do this to me all the time and I just want this to stop from you. I ever told you politely on you talk page to not respond to my requests ever again and yet you continue to do it. Please just change it for me and please I’m asking you kindly to stop getting on my case on these requests, please, I’m begging you. I’m not trying to be rude to you, I just don’t want this to keep happening to me over and over again. Can you please just change it for me please? 73.68.19.118 (talk) 20:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Please remove

From 1989 to 1997, he was the original host of America's Funniest Home Videos.

and add

He hosted America's Funniest Home Videos from its creation in 1989 until 1997.

Obviously he couldn't stop being the original host in 1997; he merely ceased to be the current host. 122.150.71.249 (talk) 19:23, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

The "2001-2022" subsection has an extremely large number of little lines, many of them just one sentence long. Without editing the text of the lines themselves, could you remove the line breaks so they become just two large paragraphs, one for each decade? The first paragraph should consist of the first nine current lines ("In 2001..." through "In April 2009..."), and the second should be the seven later lines ("In 2010..." through ("In 2020...").

Q: Why in infobox, nor personal life, mention of religion
Q: 1.. Why in infobox, nor personal life, mention of religion?? Was not Bob Saget Jewish? 2.. Also, I see several threads in the talk pages about semi protected request - What is the status of that, how to check that, what is the summary basis or root primary reason for that request? Cheerio.

Details of death
My suggested edit, already reverted:

An incident report released March 15, 2022 suggests Saget hit "something hard, covered by something soft" which might have been a carpet, and that the resulting fractures "would have stunned Mr. Saget" causing dizziness along with "confusion, balance, and/or slurred speech" which someone with him would have noticed. The reported injury would have made it unlikely that he drove from Jacksonville, Florida to Orlando afterward.

 * To summarize what I said on my talk page about this, I wouldn't revert it again, because I don't feel that strongly about it. I do, however, think that as it's just speculation there isn't much reason to include it. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree with on this addition. Its well referenced and not us/Wikipedia speculating but reporting what has been reported very broadly. ContentEditman (talk) 22:45, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

First, I propose removing citation No. 56 in the main article given that TMZ, being a Tabloid, clearly does not meet Wikipedia's citation guidelines as an even remotely credible source.

That said, With respect to some of the references as relates to cause of death, it appears that the references are contradictory. According to an ABC [| report] on February 16, a court temporarily blocked records with respect to the death investigation. However, CNN reported on February 10 what the family says (which should be considered a highly suspect reference in the encyclopedic context) and Today reported "Full autopsy reveals..." again also on Feb. 10. It is therefore extremely unlikely that the media has any credible objective basis upon which to make such claims, in light of the ABC story, which indicates that their source records needed to substantiate the claims were witheld from the media by court order.

Therefore, it appears at first reading that there is at least some conflict in two separate versions of the story. Therefore, either the text needs to be changed to read in the manner of "according to the family" or the dubious tag needs to be inserted with respect to the following reference / citation numbers in the main article: 56, 57, 58, 59. 98.178.191.34 (talk) 09:00, 19 February 2022 (UTC)


 * There is a policy for TMZ, but it is bundled with another citation so it seems to be fine. TMZ specifically has no consensus, which means the community hasn't determined if it is generally reliable or generally unreliable.  There hasn't been a discussion in a number of years, so if you feel that it is a problem that there isn't a consensus one way or another, feel free to create a new discussion at WP:RSN.  Just make sure to read the rules and provide evidence that supports why you think it should be considered to be generally reliable/unreliable.  I would advise you to have at least three examples of what makes the source reliable or not.
 * For the rest, Template:Dubious notes that there are a number of incorrect uses with this template. Based on my understanding, I think you want Template:Disputed inline instead.  Can you confirm if that is correct?  --Super Goku V (talk) 15:48, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Set template to "answered=yes" due to awaiting IP's input as directed by template. — Sirdog (talk) 06:13, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, whoops. Sorry about that and thank you for fixing my mistake. Super Goku V (talk) 04:46, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * ❌ - While this was pending input from the requester, additional sources have helped to clear things up. As reported by the Associate Press, "the medical examiner’s office and sheriff’s office created graphic videos and photos of Saget’s body, as well as audio recordings."  Saget's family opposed these documents from being publicly released, with there being requests from media outlets for these records.  This appears to be a misunderstanding over which documents are being barred for release and what information from the autopsy can be shared.  If the requested disagrees with this opinion, they are free to respond and to reopen the edit request. Super Goku V (talk) 04:59, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
