In the wake of Saget's sudden passing, many of his former co-stars have paid tribute to him on social media and through public statements. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who starred on "Full House" with Saget from 1987 to 1995, commented on Saget's untimely death through a statement made to Page Six.

"Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man. We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has," the Olsen twins said. They added, "We are thinking of his daughters, wife and family and are sending our condolences." Both Mary-Kate and Ashley portrayed Michelle Tanner on the hit 1990s television show, where Saget played their father, Danny Tanner.

Since the show's conclusion, Saget has remained close with the Olsen twins. The trio frequently attended events together, alongside Saget's daughters, throughout the 2000s and 2010s (via BuzzFeed). Saget spoke highly of Mary-Kate and Ashley, and would often post memorable moments with the pair through his various social media accounts.

During an interview in February 2021, Saget spoke about the Olsen twins, saying "Ashley and Mary-Kate, I love so much. When I'm in New York or when they're here, when we can, we see each other" (via Cinema Blend).
