Saget began his post, "Betty White. This amazing woman was exactly who you wanted her to be. Razor sharp wit, smart, kind, hilarious, sincere and so full of love." The comedian continued, "From the first time I snuck into 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' at 15-years-old and watched her hit everything she said out of the park, to decades later and getting to hang out with her on several occasions, I had a small peek into what a remarkabale talent and human being Betty was."
The 'America's Funniest Home Videos' host recalled a moment he shared with Betty as he wrote, "We were on an ABC jet once for a junket and I was sitting across from her, both of us sipping Bloody Marys." "We had been laughing for hours - I looked into her eyes and faux romantically said, 'How about it, Betty, you and me in the bathroom? Mile High Club?'."
"She answered me before I had a chance to finish the invite - 'Of course, Bob, you go in there first and I'll meet you as soon as I finish my drink.'"
Saget said, "And then of course she went right to sipping from her straw. I waited in that bathroom for over two hours. That would be the joke on a joke part, in case you take things literally."
"She always said the love of her life was her husband, Allen Ludden, who she lost in 1981. Well, if things work out by Betty's design - in the afterlife, they are reunited," continued Saget. "I don't know what happens when we die, but if Betty says you get to be with the love of your life, then I happily defer to Betty on this."
The father of three concluded his post, "My deepest condolences to her family and friends. Betty White. My God, we will miss you."
The last Instagram post of Bob Saget was about promoting dates for January 28 and January 29 shows which he captioned as, "Going everywhere until I get the special shot. And then probably keep going cause I'm addicted to this shit. Peace out."
