'Bob was the sweetest. He was the sweetest man.'

Comedian and actor Bob Saget, who was most known for his role as Danny Tanner in "Full House," died on Sunday at a hotel in Orlando, according to authorities.

"I mean funny for real, like when you walked into a party and you saw Bob and his wife Kelly [Rizzo] in the corner, you go straight to them and stay for as long as you could because he had something funny to say about everything and nothing bad to say about anyone. Never," he added. "Unlike me, he was a good person," Kimmel said, highlighting Saget's activism and fundraising efforts to fight scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease that took his sister Gay's life in 1994.

The talk show host then got choked up reading an an email he got from Saget about their future plans to hang out, plans they never got to fulfill. Kimmel said Saget would check in"a lot" when his son, Billy, was in the hospital, so he wanted to send Saget's daughters and wife love during this tragic time.
