film and tv. here are details on his death. >> good morning. news of bob saget's death left fans and celebrities stunned. he was found dead at the ritz carlton. just yesterday he performed a stand-upset in jacksonville as part of his tour. he said he was "back in comedy like i was when i was 26," before promoting two of his upcoming shows set to take place in palm beach. co-stars shared reaction to the tragic news. bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man. we are deeply saddened he is no longer with us. he will continue to be by our side to guide us gracefully as he always has and john stamos saying i will never have another friend like him, i love you so much, bobby. and candid sheing ace cam ron, bob was one of the best human beings i've known in my life. i loved him so much. comedy clubs in los angeles paying tribute by updating signs and displays. orange count police say no foul place or drug use was suspected in his death. saget was set to perform across the u.s. and canada through june 25th. bob saget was 65 years old. >> todd: mary ann, thank you. i'm a child of the '80s, full house was definitely a part of my youth growing up. for a generation, he was america's dad. he played this lovable dad trying to raise girls on his own with the help of uncle jesse and dave. he was america's dad for so many people. the juxtaposition of that, this wholesome, down to earth dad versus in real life, his very raunchy at times comedy really showed he was a versatile entertainment player. one thing i like to point out, on the show, danny tanner, the character bob saget played loved to be organized and plan family events. my best friend refers to me as danny tanner when i try to plan something. i will think about that as i think about bob saget and his influence of so many in my generation. >> ashley: you were an '80s baby. i was a late '80s baby. i think of mary kate and -- olson. i look to him as fatherly figure when i watch the show. this is sad for a lot of people who are a fan of the show, fan of his comedy. think of his family, i said this earlier, i just to to reiterate it, you look at these people on tv, they are in shows, but you don't know them as they are in real life, like his wife and his three daughters. you have to feel for them having this be such a public situation and i almost feel like the wound will be reopened several times as far as having to talk about when the autopsy comes back because we don't know his cause of death. obviously they said no sign of foul play or drug use and he was found in the ritz hotel in orlando, but those are obviously things that will come to light in the coming days, todd. >> todd: obviously the suddenness of it all. the family has to be in shock and in mourning right now. what really stood out to me, in mariann rafferty's piece, reaction from his co-stars and people in the entertainment industry liked bob saget and such a competitive and cut-throat business to have those reactions everybody saying he was a genuinely nice guy, comedians loved him because he was a comedian's comedian, to an extent, despite the fact he had this beautiful little "full house" show he was on and he was the nice guy on the show. it speaks to the influence of so many in his community and why he translated so well on tv. bob saget dead at the age of 65, he will be missed. ash. >> ashley: right. you mentioned his friends and co-stars, the tweet from john stamos, i felt that, i don't know either of them, you feel that stuff when you read it. he said, obviously taking this news hard, you can tell they were close friends on set and off, he said he was gutted and in complete shock. that showss how good of a friend he was to these people when you have all the celebritys and co-stars and co-workers coming out with heart-felt messages. sad day for a lot of people and obviously we'll be waiting for answers to find out how he died. we are now going to go to another fox

we are pushing for schools to be open. everyone needs to get a stronger backbone and realize they don't answer to sharkey everyday, they answer to the people. >> todd: sharkey is the spokesperson you see for the chicago teachers union. are you hopeful this lawsuit will force teachers back into the classroom? >> yes, i think it is unprecedented and i'm proud of the parents for suing the union, it needed to be done. >> ashley: we heard in the ip tro soundbyte, lori lightfoot says this is illegal. piggybacking off what todd was saying, lawsuits take time. has there been any indication something could happen in the coming days or is this the parent's way of standing firm against the teachers union? what do you hope to come from the lawsuit and how soon? >> that is not the only thing we are doing, we are doing grassroots organization amongst ourselves, large facebook groupss. i'm hosting a rally at my own school. we have hundreds of parents that want our children to go back to school, we are ready to stand outside with signs and our children saying, let us in. >> todd: there are so many good teachers in chicago and thought the world, the question i keep coming back to, why do these other people that seem to not want to be in the classroom and look for any excuse to not be in the classroom, why do they get into education in the first place? >> that is what i want to know. they are not following the science, they are politically posturing. they get the position to help the children or serve their own political interest? is there such a thing as all teachers are good, if they are not standing up against the ones hurting the children. >> ashley: it makes you feel for the teachers who are getting lumped into this whole debacle of not wanting to get back into the classroom.
