America's Funniest Home Videos Hosts Tom Bergeron and Alfonso Ribeiro Pay Tribute to Bob Saget

America's Funniest Home Videos hosts Tom Bergeron and Alfonso Ribeiro have spoken out about Bob Saget's death.

Saget was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday afternoon, following a performance outside of Jacksonville the night prior, the Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Twitter. He was 65.

The Full House alum hosted AFV for eight seasons from 1990-97 on ABC. His successors include John Fugelsang and Daisy Fuentes, Bergeron and Ribeiro, who currently hosts the show.

"I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend and fellow @afvofficial host @bobsaget today," Ribeiro wrote on Instagram following the news of Saget's death. "I had the pleasure of meeting him in the early 90s when the show started. He was amazing. There's no AFV without Bob. RIP Bob. We will all miss you."

Bergeron, who hosted the show from 2001 to 2015, also shared a message on his Instagram page and recalled the time Saget returned to AFV for a cameo on Bergeron's final episode.

"For my final @afvofficial, I asked my friend for a special favor. Without hesitation he said yes (link to video in bio)," he wrote. "I'll always be grateful for that. And for our friendship. #RIP."

Bergeron also tells PEOPLE that Saget "was a performer certainly, but he was a human being first and foremost, and was remarkably well-grounded," adding, "There are some people out here for whom where they sit on the perceive totem pole is all they consider. I think Bob was one to not only appreciate his own abilities, but to nurture and appreciate others. That's a wonderful trait."

Bergeron adds, "He loved performing. He loved making people laugh. I mean, you can see that in the last tweet that he put out after his show, the night before he died in Florida. He loved being back on stage. He loved being out, meeting people and knowing that there was still an audience for him that he could still make people laugh."
