Bob Saget's Widow Says He Would Have Called Her Latest Project 'Crazy'
Bob Saget and Kelly Rizzo
Bob Saget's widow, Kelly Rizzo, is one of 14 celebrity recruits joining Season 2 of FOX's Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test—and she's fairly certain her late husband would have been baffled by her decision to sign on to the show.
"He would have thought I was crazy," the Eat Travel Rock creator told Fox News Digital. "I mean, like, ‘What are you doing?’ Because there is no way he would ever have done anything like this. It just would have been way too out of his comfort zone."
The reality competition series puts contestants through some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process. Season 1 took place in the piping hot desert, while Season 2 will unfold in the icy mountains of New Zealand.
"This was less than a five-star hotel experience," Rizzo said. "Sleeping on a military green Army cot… he would have been like, 'I can't ever see myself doing this. How on Earth are you doing this?'"
Saget died in January 2022 at the age of 65 as a result of blunt head trauma, per an official autopsy report. He and Rizzo had been married since October 2016.

"My sweet husband," Rizzo wrote on Instagram around the time of his death. "After much reflection this week, I’m trying, really trying, to not think I was robbed of time. But instead to think: How lucky was I that I got to be the one to be married to THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAN ON EARTH."
Despite claiming that her late husband would have been perplexed by her latest project, Rizzo believes that he would have been proud of her, too. "He would have been very worried about me," she said. "He would have not liked that we could not have talked for, like, the entire time that I was there. And then he would have been very proud of me. In the end, I know he would have been very excited and proud of me and, you know, just give me all the accolades."
