As a child of the '90s, there were celebrities who just became planets in my orbit because of their involvement in projects I was obsessed with. Robin Williams. Phil Hartman. Now Bob Saget joins them.

With Betty White’s death occuring only a little before, many are even more upset since Saget wrote a touching tribute to White, where now many are saying the same about his passing.
