John Stamos is unhappy that his very good friend Bob Saget was excluded from the Tony Awards “In Memoriam.” The 75th annual Tony Awards took place on Sunday, June 13 at New York City’s Radio City Musical Hall, but, before the ceremony commenced, Stamos took to Twitter to issue a call out to Tony Awards, and expressed his displeasure at the fact that Saget was not included in the tribute to late stars.

Stamos who probably got wind of this through the list from a dress rehearsal earlier in the day, wrote, “Disappointed to hear that @bobsaget will be LEFT OUT of the In Memoriam segment tonight @TheTonyawards . Bob was brilliant in The Drowsy Chaperone & Hand to God. Come on @BroadwayLeague and @TheWing ! Do the right thing! Bob loved Broadway and I know the community loved him.”

He added, “Let’s make some noise about this everyone – and send our love and good wishes to the hosts @ArianaDeBose, @JulianneHough, and my buddy @DarrenCriss and all the well-deserved nominees.”

Saget was laid to rest during a private ceremony in Los Angeles on Jan. 14, and Stamos published the remarks he made at his friend’s funeral in the Los Angeles Times that same day.

“Bob was there for me like no other,” he said in his speech. “I’m not ready to accept that he’s gone. I’m not going to say goodbye yet,” he continued at the time. “I imagine him out there, still on the road, doing what he loves with all his heart and humor. He’s standing on stage, killing! Another two-hour set in front of a couple hundred of the luckiest people on the planet. … Everyone here wants an encore with Bob.”

Laurence Fishburne introduced the segment, saying, “Since the theatrical community last gathered as one to celebrate our art, we have lost great number of cherished friends and colleagues. Many were familiar to generations of theatergoers, theater lovers who were transported by their performances onstage or moved by their voices on cast albums.”

“Others may not have been as well known beyond the 26 square blocks known as Broadway, but their contributions behind the scenes were equally vital to the American theater,” he continued. “We remember some of them now, along with all of our colleagues whose brilliance will forever enlighten future artists and admirers.”
