Saget also provided the narrator's voice on How I Met Your Mother and had a recurring role on Entourage. Off screen, Saget regularly toured as a stand-up comic, where his R-rated jokes let the crowd know this wasn't Danny Tanner on stage. He started his latest U.S. tour in September, and performed in front of a crowd in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday night. Saget is survived by his wife, Kelly Rizzo, and three children.
