While speaking with Page Six, comedian Mike Young spoke about the state of mind that Bob Saget was in during the final days prior to his death, many of which were spent on his comedy tour. “He seemed great and he seemed excited about going on the road,” Young told Page Six. “We had West Palm Beach lined up in a week and we were about to take off from there. Bob seemed excited about his new material. He was excited about going on vacation with his wife pretty soon, he was excited to see his daughters. He had so much to live for and was looking forward to all of it.”
As Young told E! News, Saget would want to be remembered for the impact that he had as an artist. “Bob would want to be remembered as a real artist in the comedy community,” Young told E! News. “He would want to be remembered as a great comedian and a great performer, great artist. The Norman Lears of the world love Bob and these are people who operate at the highest level of the game. And they really loved him and they saw a brilliance in him. They knew there was something brilliant about Bob. He was so sharp and quick-witted. He had a gift. He really had a gift of wit and timing … I think he would just want to be remembered as respected by his peers.”
