The Masked Singer fans are reminiscing about comedian Bob Saget's time on the show as the Squiggly Monster after he was pronounced dead on January 9. The comedian was confirmed to have passed away in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando. Bob had been touring his comedy show, I Don't Do Negative, and had last performed in Jacksonville, Florida. Sheriffs and the fire department arrived at Bob's hotel room at 4 p.m., and the star was pronounced dead at the scene. His cause of death is still unknown, but celebrities have been sending their condolences since the news broke.
Bob appeared on The Masked Singer season 4 dressed as the Squiggly Monster. The comedian, unfortunately, did not make it far in the competition and was eliminated after his second performance. Bob performed "Have You Ever Seen The Rain"' by Creedence Clearwater Revival and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones during his short run on the show. All four of the show's panelists had Bob as their first impression guess. However, panelists Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger changed their answers before the Squiggly Monster's reveal. Bob offered many revealing hints in his clue package on the show, including referring to himself as a father figure, which matches his role as Danny Tanner on Full House.
While Bob was loved and admired for many of his career gigs, fans of The Masked Singer are remembering his run as the Squiggly Monster. Upon hearing the news about Bob's death, the official Twitter account for The Masked Singer tweeted, "Thank you for being such a joy in this world. RIP Bob," along with a photo of Bob in his Squiggly Monster costume after being eliminated from the show. Fans sent their condolences in the tweet's replies, adding their favorite GIFs and pictures of the comedian on The Masked Singer stage. One GIF fans used showed the Squiggly Monster dancing around on stage with the show's host, Nick Cannon.
While the replies were flooded with fans writing, "RIP Squiggly Monster," one fan put into words what most of Bob's fans were feeling after hearing he'd passed. User @KathryneGayle wrote, "He made his career, bringing the world joy. And he brought us joy; just when we needed it, most!!!" Fans also remembered Bob from his time on Full House, How I Met Your Mother, and America's Funniest Home Videos. His friends and former co-stars John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure and the Olsen twins have all made public statements with heartfelt messages about how much they will miss him.
Former Masked Singer contestant Bob was beloved by so many and will surely be missed and always remembered by his friends, family and fans. While his time on The Masked Singer wasn't long, his personality and sense of humor shined through his big Squiggly Monster costume, making him a memorable contestant on the show.
