WhileBob Sagetmay have been most famous forFull HouseandAmerica’s Funniest Home Videos, his voice was just as recognizable to some.
In the thread, Radnor, 47, described his “special bond” with Saget as he reminisced about their time working together on the show.
“Bob Saget was the older wiser ‘me’ for nine years onHow I Met Your Mother,” the actor wrote. “He was the kindest, loveliest, funniest, most supportive man. The easiest person to be around. A mensch among mensches.”
“I had so much imposter syndrome whenHIMYMstarted, thought I’d be found out, kicked off set & sent home,” he continued. “When I’d run into Bob on the Fox lot in those early days he’d gush over my performance & tell me how he was studying me to make sure his vocal performance felt right.”
Radnor said receiving that validation from Saget changed his entire perspective.
“We had a very special bond from Day 1, were never out of touch for long. We found a way to grab dinner once a year, even afterHIMYMwrapped,” Radnor added. “We went to see each other in our Broadway plays. We talked a lot about how to live a meaningful life amidst all the chaos.”
He concluded, “I’m endlessly grateful thatHIMYMbrought Bob Saget into my life. I’ll hear his voice in my head for the rest of my days.”
