Last year, Saget came to Cameron Bure’s defense when the Hallmark actress revealed on Saget’s podcastHere For Youthat she often gets criticized for appearing to be happy all the time.
“I’m going to ask you to talk about me for a second,” Cameron BuretoldSaget in April, before asking, “For those people that think that because I am a happy, positive person, that I must be a fake person, would you say that that’s true or false?”
Saget assured his former on-screen daughter, “You’re the opposite of fake. And I’m sorry — you’re perky sometimes. What’s wrong with being perky?”
In response, Saget added, “You’re a positive person. So if you’re perky, it’s because you’re excited, and/or you’ve had a lot of caffeine. That’s what people should know — there’s nothing fake about you.”
Another one of Saget’sFull Housecostars and longtime friend, John Stamos,paid tribute to the comedianon Sunday.
