Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo shared after the event that "paying tribute to my legendary and incredible husband on stage at The Comedy Store where his career began over 40 years ago was the honor of my life. I know he would've gotten a huge kick out of me being up on stage there backed up by Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, jeff Ross, John Mayer, and John Stamos -- I know it made him smile big."

Saget died on Sunday, January 9th after being found unresponsive in his room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando.
