“Tomorrow I’m going to go lay my comrade to rest,” Chappelle, 48, said during a Thursday, January 13, comedy set, according to footage from TMZ. “Listen, I’m getting old, so a lot of people I know die … I didn’t see Bob coming. Man, he just texted me, and I saw the text yesterday, and I never texted him back ’cause I was just busy. It happens.”
He emotionally added: “I’m just saying this to remind you: These moments are precious that when I come out at night, I’m not just hanging out, I’m making memories. S—t, when I go out at night, I’m making history.”

The Full House alum died on Sunday, January 9, at the age of 65. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed a private funeral service for Saget’s friends and family is taking place on Friday, January 14.

“We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today,” the Pennsylvania native’s family said via a statement to Us Weekly hours later. “He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter.”
