A tribute to late comedian Bob Saget is set to premiere on Netflix on June 10.
Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute features appearances by John Stamos, John Mayer, Jeff Ross, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Dave Chappelle, Mike Young, Seth Green, and Saget’s widow Kelly Rizzo, among others.
Bob Saget’s nearest and dearest — John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, Jeff Ross, John Mayer, and more — came together to pay tribute to the comedy trailblazer who left us far too soon.

Saget was found dead on Jan. 9 at the age of 65. He was on tour when he died.
“Bob wasn’t something that was taken away from us. He was something that was given to us,” Carrey says in a trailer for the special. “You created a cathedral of f***ing love, Bob Saget.”

“I think it’s sad that the motherf***er had to die to get Jim Carrey back on the stage,” Rock added.
Comedian Paul Rodriguez pointed out, “Every one of us up here swears that we were his best friend, you know?”
“I think that’s the mark of a liar,” he joked, to uproarious laughter.
Saget’s opening act for 12 years, Mike Young, told the LA Times about the atmosphere of the filmed event at the famous Comedy Store venue. “We had just had the funeral and then had a small tribute privately. So the mood was like, let’s give one more major goodbye,” he said. “In one fell swoop, the world lost so much comedy. So much joy. The irony is a lot of comics are negative and pick apart the angry, but that’s not what Bob was.”

According to Young, “I just heard about the Netflix tribute a month ago, when Mike Binder called me to say, ‘Netflix is picking this up, and please sign the release!'”
“I’ll bet you there will be a one-year anniversary,” he said of other plans to memorialize Saget.
