While he came in many roles and was doing shows as a stand-up comedian, for most, he was Danny Tanner, the patriarch of the Tanner family, raising three daughters.
The daughters on the show were DJ Tanner played by Candace Cameron Bure, Stephanie Tanner played by Jodie Sweetin and finally the baby, Michelle Tanner, played by twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy Gibbler in "Full House" took to Instagram to show her love for Saget.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Issue Joint Statement
Bob Saget's youngest TV daughter, Michelle Tanner was played by twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and the reclusive sisters have broken their silence to pay homage to their TV dad.
In a statement issued to the press, they said, "Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man. We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has. We are thinking of his daughters, wife, and family and are sending our condolences.”
The Olsen twins started working on the show in 1987 as infants and continued their role till the finale in 1995. But when the Netflix reboot "Fuller House" came up in 2016, they declined the role, since they were not acting anymore. Today, they run the successful fashion label, The Row.
Here's a little sneak peek into Bob Saget and his TV daughter, over the years.
