On the latest episode of her podcast, 'Comfort Food with Kelly Rizzo,' the 46-year-old shared just what happened the day the Full House icon passed away in 2022 from her perspective.
"He truly felt like he was on top of the world," she shared of the call they had after. "He had a standing ovation, he felt like he was in comedy like he was 26 again, and it was such a reawakening for him."
Excited to get home after time on the road though, Rizzo said their other texts included him saying, "'I'm coming back home baby, I can't wait to see you.'"

"Finally the hotel said, 'Okay we're going to do a wellness check' and right away my heart starts singing because I'm like, 'that doesn't sound good, but we need to do this,'" she recalled.

"At this point I'm thinking something bad happened, but I was thinking maybe he had a heart attack, maybe he had a stroke, maybe something happened," she said. "He just needed to be taken to the hospital and then we get an update that 'law enforcement is here but the paramedics left.'"
"Finally she said, 'Kelly they want to talk to you, it's a security guard,' and I was kind of bracing myself but, you can never really brace yourself, and the security guard gets on the phone with me and says, 'Is this Mrs. Saget?' and I said, 'Yes' and he said, "I'm so sorry unfortunately he passed away.'"
Still aware that she needed to compose herself, she called Saget's ex-wife Sherry Kramer with whom he shares three daughters with.
Rizzo also shared that while this was happening, she was receiving calls from Full House stars Candace Cameron Bure and John Stamos. She later learned that a sister of a hotel security guard messaged Bure offering condolences, which led to her eventually talking to Stamos. "I call Stamos [confirming the news] and he just starts screaming and falls to the ground," she said.

Then she recalled, seeing the news of the tragedy break on TMZ. "I felt like I was floating over my body watching this, that I'm reading an article saying, 'Bob Saget Dead at 65.'"
"I don't have a husband anymore?" she remembered thinking. "He's just not coming home ever again? It just didn't compute it, didn't make sense, then I remembered the "W" word, like I'm a widow?'"
Adding a bit of levity to the heartfelt episode, she noted, "that being surrounded by a lot of comedians on the worst day of your life is definitely helpful...it made me feel like his humor will live on...that dark gallows humor is something Bob was very famous for."
