Bob Saget was looking forward to 'new possibilities'

Beloved comedian and "Full House" star Bob Saget, who died in January at age 65 after suffering head trauma from an evident fall, said in one of his last interviews that he still felt a range of new possibilities awaited his already successful career.

"See, I think I'm just starting. And that is, I guess, what relevance comes from,” he said in the last of a three-part interview recorded in May 2021 for the podcast "Til This Day with Radio Rahim," sequentially released Tuesday through Thursday this week.

"I actually believe I'm just starting, because I haven't made a movie that I feel hit everybody, and I want to do a couple of those," he continued, according to People magazine, which previewed the subscription-only episode. "And some people spend their whole life doing many movies. There's these amazing directors. We all love them. You know, we all respect them. I adore them. They're the top of the mountain. I want to do a couple of those movies. I know I have it in me."

He added, "I'm just getting started. I swear. I'm going to be more than Bob."

Saget similarly said in his final social-media post, written the day he died while on a comedy tour: "I'm back in comedy like I was when I was 26. I guess I'm finding my new voice and loving every moment of it. … Goin' everywhere until I get the special shot."

Additionally, in an excerpt from part three of the interview that was posted on the YouTube channel of podcast distributor Luminary, Saget spoke about how his portrayal of Danny Tanner, the widower father of three young girls on the 1987-1995 ABC comedy "Full House," was informed by his own late dad, Ben Saget, whom he had lauded on social media in 2016 as "my incredible kind and hilarious father who I will always miss."

"That's why I was good on 'Full House.' I wanted to play that part," Saget said. "I knew I was the Richie Cunningham of the show," alluding to the stable, everyman character Ron Howard played in the ABC sitcom "Happy Days." "So I was there to sit down and give the lectures or just talk to my [TV] kids about how you get through life. And sometimes," he said, chuckling, "I'll do it with my own kids," an evident reminiscence of his now-adult daughters Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer with first wife, Sherri Kramer. "They'll be in their room, and I'll sit down on the bed and start talking. Where's the synthesizer music, y'know?" he joked, referring to his sitcom's soundtrack.

Meanwhile, Netflix on Friday will stream a retrospective, "Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute."

Saget home for sale

Saget's nephew, real-estate broker Adam Saget of Compass Realty in Los Angeles, has listed the late comedian's mansion for sale at $7.765 million, telling The Wall Street Journal, "It's an emotional and personal listing that means a lot to me." The five-bedroom mansion, with an additional bedroom in a guesthouse, is 6,608 square feet on a 13,022-sqaure-foot lot in a gated community. According to the listing, its features include "a grand motor court, three car garage, pool, spa, barbecue entertainment area and smart home controls." Built in 1964, it was renovated in 1980 and Bob Saget bought the home in 2003, said his nephew, the son of the comedian's late sister Gay.
