A memorial tribute to Bob Saget held at West Hollywood's iconic Comedy Store earlier this year is going to be turned into a Netflix comedy special for your viewing pleasure.
The death of the cherished actor and comedian this past January sent shockwaves through his legions of fans, as well as his family and (famous) friends — including the likes of Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, John Stamos, Jeff Ross, John Mayer, Jackson Browne and Darren Criss, all of whom reportedly took the stage at the comedy club that night to memorialize Saget. Only a very limited amount of tickets were made available to the public.
Now, according to one of the late entertainer's best friends Mike Binder, it's coming to Netflix for the rest of us. Binder made the announcement on the Dystopia Tonight! with John Poveromo podcast, saying he hooked the streaming giant by showing the platform's head of comedy a video from the star-studded tribute, which you can see in brief via TMZ. (Spoiler alert: a bluesy musical jam leads to Rock dropping a quick punchline.)
The special is reportedly going to premiere during the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival.

After his unexpected passing, Saget's final onscreen appearance was in a Desiigner music video. America's Funniest Home Videos also paid tribute to the former host.
