John Stamos Puts Tony Awards On Blast For Snubbing Bob Saget

Bob Saget was one of Broadway’s biggest supporters. The late ‘Full House’ star supported live theater until his unfortunate death at the age of 65. One of his former co-stars is now calling out the industry’s biggest awards show for failing to include Saget during their ‘In Memoriam’ segment.

John Stamos expressed his disappointment with the Tony Awards for snubbing his old friend. Stamos pointed out that Saget was not only a huge patron and supporter of Broadway shows, but that he performed brilliantly in some of them. Stamos encouraged his followers to let the Tony Awards organizers know how they feel.

“Disappointed to hear that @bobsaget will be LEFT OUT of the In Memoriam segment tonight @TheTonyawards. Bob was brilliant in The Drowsy Chaperone & Hand to God. Come on @BroadwayLeague and @TheWing ! Do the right thing! Bob loved Broadway and I know the community loved him.

Let’s make some noise about this everyone – and send our love and good wishes to the hosts @ArianaDeBose, @JulianneHough and my buddy @DarrenCriss and all the well-deserved nominees.”
