Had to come back and watch this again after hearing about his passing, I immediately thought of this episode this was one of the last things I watched about him while he was still alive RIP Bob Saget you were a big part of my life growing up

RIP Bob Saget. We're losing too many of our legends and icons.

Well researched interview! I've been a fan of Bob's comedy for years. He's a diverse performer and those who knew him give testimony to his kindness. Gone too soon but not forgotten. RIP ❤️❤️

Rest in peace Bob. I’m glad he was given some of his flowers during this interview

RIP.. wow Bob was really able to express himself in the beginning of this interview. Great job TK.

Great episode. Love the guest diversity. This is well beyond a "hip hop" podcast while still keeping it hip hop.

OMG IM GOING TO MISS BOB!!😭😭😭 HE HAD MY CHILDHOOD LIVING ROOM FULL OF FAMILY IN TEARS LAUGHING AT HIS VOICE OVERS IN AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

RIP Bob Saget. He really was one of a kind.

Watched this episode last week and received a notification he has transitioned. Thank God you interviewed him. I enjoyed it. Prayers and condolences to his family.

DAAAAMN!!!! R.I.P. Bog Saget. Just came here after 5150. I can't believe that shit!!

Wonderful interview filled with a lot of genuine love and great life moments. Rest In Peace Mr. Saget 💜. You were such a beautiful part of my childhood family memories growing up watching Full House ❤️🙏🏼

Talib did his homework in this . Dude is a professional 🙌🏻

Bob was a homie fareal,part of my childhood,Rest Easy my brother💐🙏🏽🙏🏻🌎

Him in half baked is like one of the best movie segments I love to bring up. 🤣😂😂

RIP Bob Saget .,now you own one of his last interviews very special . ♥️

RIP Bob Saget, Full is one of my all time favorites, your legendary career will live forever....

Fantastic interview!!!! RIP Bob♥️♥️♥️♥️

RIP GOAT

Great interview. Rest in paradise Bob Saget. Much respect.

R.I.P. Bob. Nothing to do with nothing, other than funny people and death...but also R.I.P. to the *LEGENDARY* Betty White. Imagine if she had been on People's Party!?! That most likely would've been my favorite episode, period. Talib is _such_ a thorough researcher, and Betty has had such a long and storied career, that it would've been an epic conversation. I imagine that Betty and Talib would've had excellent chemistry.

Appreciate the diverse range of guests.

Watching this interview again after this legend's untimely death. So Surreal 😥 R.i.P Bob Saget one of the greatest TV dad's ever Danny Tanner 🙌🏽 gone too soon prayers and blessings condolences to his family.

Great interview! Bob Saget is apart of my childhood. The diversity of guests is much appreciated.

R.I.P. Bob Saget, he is my age and I feel like we grow up together in a way and I was very saddened with his passing. I loved his body of work. Him and Patrice O'Neal were friends, and now they are together cracking jokes on each other...thank you People's Party for such a very well researched interview!!!

Real talk like, at heart, Bob Saget is a real nigga! He makes hella sense and he’s smart and he’s not just some run of the mill, milquetoast comedian like full house and afv made him out to be.

You fulfilled your mission Bob Saget. Never met you, but I mourn the fact that I never did. And all the things that you wanted to do but never will. Simply the best. RIP.

I have just discovered this Podcast, to watch this episode and all the plans he made hurts my heart.

Truly incredible insight. Power to Bob.

Crazy how i just watched this shit yesterday man 🙏🏼 rest in peace bob saget

Great show Talib and Jasmine. Thank you for this wonderful episode. Bob Saget was such a wonderful and talented human being. Was a big Full House and Fuller House fan. I miss him dearly-may he Rest In The Heavens Above.

Open Mike Eagle, Jeff Ross and now Bob Saget - three absolutely amazing guests in a row. But the Madlib episode was the one that brought me here. Keep up the great work! Love the show

" doors I pushed on wouldn't open. Then some doors would just open ". That sums up life. Don't force the doors that won't open. Not suppose to be in there anyway. The doors that do open for you. Walk through with joy wonderment and gratitude as to what's next. Wisdom ~ Godspeed Bob Saget 🙏🏾. Rest well.

Great interview!! Thank you

Had me at Greatest American hero....where my 80s babies

1:10:35 So me (18) & the homie Greg (16) went to go see Dirty Work when it came out. While folks were walkin out the theatre, me & Greg fallin over cryin. I absolutely love Norm's humor.

Thoroughly enjoyed, Bob can do voice work for NPR. Great talk, everybody.

They will never here that voice again 😥😢😥😢

Rip

I grew up watching him on America's funniest home videos. It's sad people felt like moments ago they were here no gone. May he rest in paradise.

RIP - Bob... just heard he passed away

Yes, I am eating during the appendix story.

RIP Bob Saget. This came up in my RU-vid recommendations exactly a year later. I just clicked it I didn't even realize that he died today last year until 5 minutes into the video

Wow, as a fan of comedy and Bob Saget, this is the interview I didn't know I needed.💯

This was a really good episode 😊👏

Rest in peace Mr sagit God bless you.

I watched this Sunday Jan 9 @ 2a.m. I put this guy on my bucket list of people to meet before my time here in this skin suit expires. There could be no better final interview that could have been given or received by this wonderful human being. Thank you Talib and Jasmin for clearing the name and soul of an icon and shining light on the wonderful individual Bob was. RIP Mr. Saget. Much love. You showed the world a model of what a perfect dad can be.

I remember Make Me Laugh from when i was a little kid!

That British accent moment was MAD funny LOL

Rest in power Bob Saget 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have a feeling that he bumped E-40's neva broke album on the set of Full House

1:09:25 😪

God bless you talib kweli

My tiny little perspective on digital money: Willie D seems to really know what he's talking about and he says that he made a decent amount of money with multiple coins...so that's all I've got on the topic. People's Party = best hip hop podcast out, but still plenty good others out there; everybody check out 'Geto Boys: Reloaded" if you don't already know.

America's Funniest Home Videos was the original RU-vid

Can yall interview Mr.T??? His life is interesting

Omg I saw this when it was first posted. I found Mr Saget was the realest. I wanted to see in live for a stand up performance. Now I wont get to see him. RIP Bob Saget. Rest Easy.

I love the Ms.Pat show... I watched it 3 times

The Carlton started from a Bruce Springsteen video “dancing in the dark”

Talib really inspire ppl like me to make it a priority to carry myself in a manner of class at all times, but still can be hood in the same sense

This was fantastic.

Is there a more humble, gracious, and grateful guy? Bob is amazing.

I've been a fan of Bob Saget since Full House, America's Funniest Home Videos, Entourage and How I Met your Mother and his cameo in New York Minute starring his former TV daughters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen +Kevin Haynes

Man... this was clearly recorded before Norms passing... so sad 😞

Moby Dick was written by Farley Mowat. Great interview with a great dude.

Who couldn’t love my guy Dan Tanner he’s such a peaceful and easygoing guy lol

RIP Bob❤️

R.I.P Bob❤️ Party hard with Betty 🍷

RIP Bob Saget 🙏🏾❤️

Fantastic interview

I know Rodney was waiting for him in heaven ☀️
