Current host Alfonso Ribeiro said it has been an “honor to continue to carry the torch Bob so brightly lit.”
“America’s Funniest Home Videos” paid tribute to the late, great Bob Saget – who hosted the show’s first eight seasons in the ’90s.
Sunday’s new episode began with the current host Alfonso Ribeiro, who paid tribute to the man who came before him, after the death of the Case on January 9, 2022. He was 65 years old.
“As you have heard, the world lost a legend this week. And AFV lost a family member,” Robeiro began. “Bob Saget is synonymous with AFV to this day. This show would not have been the same without his unique sense of humor. “
“It has been my honor to continue to carry the torch Bob so brightly lit,” he added, before getting viewers to “Take a look back at Bob being Bob” in a rock roll. Highlights included hitting the set, playing with a monkey and opening up to Tom Bergeron to come up with voiceovers for the fun footage.
On YouTube, the video description further honored the Case.
“Now pretty much the world has heard of Bob Saget’s passing away on Sunday morning,” it read. “Bob was the backbone of a TV show that has entertained not only America but the whole world. Bob made us smile, he made us laugh out loud, and often he made us laugh. A comedy legend. A kind soul. Our dear friend. We will miss you, Bob. “
The show also asked fans to consider donating to the Scleroderma Research Foundation, a cause close to the heart of the Case. He was also an SRF board member.
“For more than 30 years, he was a champion of the scleroderma community, helping to raise awareness about this complex disease and millions of dollars to fund research for a cure,” the show added. “Bob was unparalleled in his generosity and dedication to SRF’s mission and will be remembered for his deep compassion, exceptional kindness and huge heart. Your gift in memory of Bob will directly support SRF’s research program, so one day we will have a cure for scleroderma. . “
The case was found by hotel security around noon. 16 ET at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, according to TMZ, after a standup performance in Jacksonville.
