About the Podcast:
BOB SAGET’S HERE FOR YOU is a podcast that is like no other- Because it goes inside Bob Saget’s mind, and then quickly filters out through his mouth. Bob has a way of calming people with genuine empathy and humor while they’re going through a difficult time, which we all are at present. Reaching his unusually diverse audience that he talks to as a friend, Bob is the dad with great advice, the irreverent funny guy who’s always there when you need a laugh, and the free-associative Bob who goes off on crazy tangents then returns to the subject at hand, as serious or as comedic as it may be, to wrap up each episode in a way only Bob can do. Because he really does believe, “He’s here for you." - Комедії

Such a gift to have these videos! RIP Bob. For those finding this for the first time, listen to the very end.
Made me tear up... I just finished the video.
What a great interview, and what a prescient ending. The world has yet to discover what we lost with Bob's passing. Less than 10k views.
I was watching this for about 12 minutes before I realised Bob died recently. What a shock. He looks so well here. Great interview mixed with sadness.
Holy Idle this was such a gift!!! Thank you Mr. Bob. A treasure to hear the genius of such a one of kind soul. Wow. I pray he will still create. Any possibility of him performing somewhere? Spamalot a film ...maybe ? Thank you so very much. Great job Bob Saget !
Eric Idle is such a treasure. What a wonderful comedian and really what an intelligent and hilarious man.
Saget and all the python guys are solely responsible for my interest in theater, comedy and acting!! Thank you to all of you!!
That's an odd gamut.
Love all interviews with Eric Idle. This one did not disappoint Bob, thoroughly enjoy every minute of this one. He's an individual with a great fountain of stories from an incredible life story - just love it!
Thanks Bob. Be well and stay safe.
Wow! Bob, you were amazing and I saw how you were in awe of Mr. Idle. Mr. Idle was brilliant, witty, charming, sharp and amazingly down-to-earth. I felt like I was sitting across from you two in a chair in the same room and was humbled by Mr. Idle and his telling of his amazing experiences. Thank you Bob. And, Thank You Mr. Idle. Love you both!
I not only got to Spamalot when it opened in Chicago but I got to meet Eric just before the show started. My friend showed me Grail and I was hooked. Thank you for having on such an amazing icon
Bob saget and Eric idle👍both comical geniuses. I can see the chemistry 👍❤ great episode
Great interview. He posted something on twitter last year, I commented on it, and Eric replied to me, that made my day.❤
Bob truly is/was a uniquely special and loving man
RIP Bob. You were amazing.
That song at the end got me, because who would have thought that Eric would have outlived Bob. Life is short, and not fair.
I just ran across this interview. Honestly, I had no idea that Bob had a podcast. I shouldn't be surprised as everyone seemed to create a podcast around the time of Covid, therefore I never went looking for Bob. Watching this video really hits hard. Eric talking about the (then) recent passings of Terry Jones, Robin Williams, George Harrison and Bob mentioning his sister.... Then the song at the end. Two of the funniest men on the planet talking about life and death. Bob was taken way too soon.
I love you, Bob.
just rewatched Life of Brian ....thanks for this....shout out from South Africa
RIP Bob Saget 1956-2022 and God bless youin heaven.
So wonderful to see and hear you two catching up and reminiscing ❤️
It being Thanksgiving, I give you thanks for you Mr. Saget
I didn't know that Eric Idle was ever in boarding schools as a young child. Learn something new about someone's life, that I didn't know.
An absolute icon. A legend!
Eric's cool too! 😁
Quickly let me say I love this interview so much. When Eric said he sat with and got to know Chevy, I then realized that must have been in the 1st season of SNL. Chevy left after season 1, being replaced by Bill Murray.
He hosted the show more than once. Michael Palin hosted it too.
Great interview Bob. RIP.
What an Amazing Episode!!!
Very Cool.
RIP Saget
Godspeed Bob.
Thanks for the laughs.
😇👋🐸
What a fantastic interview! So much brilliance in one room.
One… plain white room in need of a little decor… but I digress…
I absolutely loved the stories and anecdotes, the genuine heartfelt philosophical segues, it was all so lovely.
(With the exception of the plain white walls of course. Buy some paint Bob.)
When Eric turns right to look at Bob he looks like Alan Partridge. That aside, lovely stuff.
Yep, I see it! He he he
oh my god, it's been while i haven't see him. lord, I've missed all the Pythons already 🥺
Eric is great all the time!!
The Great Favog was something I hoped to see each week the saturday night program aired. The voice actors were perfect.
Great episode Bob. This was great to watch.
gem 💎 . . Thank you, Bob .. RIP
Love you bob and eric
Love your channel bob
Love you always, Bob
A great episode.
And other great episode I enjoy a lot listening in the podcast but I enjoy more watching in video great bob 😀👍
Eric is an icon 😎
The fact that this has been on for 23hrs and has less than 1000 views is a travesty
i have always thought the line "i'm brian and so is my wife" nust have come from eric.
Idol also writes science fiction
I am a big fan of the Monty Python famous sketches and all the movies just a bunch if witty funny guys. Also Omaha steaks are quite good.
Awesome interview. What happened to your shoelaces Bob?
How come the guitar outro reminds me of Helpless by Faith No More?
Oof.. that song at the end hurt a little bit. 😬 RIP Bob
I hope Eric Idle lives long enough to sing that at 100 funerals.
Is that Old Guy's second name Loretta?
Hey saget you every hear of the man grate
I don’t know how people are saying this was a great interview. Bob was ”I knew that but I forgot” too many times for one interview.
The volume is too low for my shitty phone.
Can we be friends bob?
For the Grail battle scene...why would they battle for a thing that wasn't there? I guess wars are prone to start with a lie as films are prone to stop with the money.
I send my sympathies to Saget’s family but, quite frankly, I’ve never found him the least bit funny. Eric Idle is in a completely different league comedy-wise.
Funny, intelligent persons having really boring conversations, the whole pod - except Gilbert....
Very sketchy death. For Saget. Speaking of deaths, Life of Brian is most likely why Harrison is dead.
Eric idle looks awful I’m sorry Bob saget died. Would like to know who killed him
Eric recently had coronary bypass surgery. Still sharp as a tack.
