Everyone loved him in the community. EVERYONE. Really good guy like everyone says & if you did even a small favor for him he would be so grateful and appreciative even it wasn’t much. In tears typing this, he was that genuine and the world should know that. Love you @bobsaget ❤️

In a post-show interview with Entertainment Weekly, Saget said he loved doing the show. He was just disappointed that he couldn't perform Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" in the Squiggly Monster costume. When he saw the Squiggly Monster costume, he burst out laughing on the spot.

"Yeah, they showed a couple other different renderings to me, and there was just no question, because I looked at it and I laughed out loud," Saget told EW. "That's usually the key. It's a joyous-looking thing. It's something that a kid would want to pick up, with all the eyes that look like those little three-eyed guys in Toy Story. It just had a feeling of a childish, loving kind of thing. It's multicolor, so you feel like, 'Oh, this is all beings on the earth.' And he's got lobster claws. I mean, he's such a hybrid of different creatures."
