On Wednesday, a mere few days before his death, Saget was featured on News4JAZ to promote his "I Don't Do Negative Comedy" tour, as noted by The Daily Mail. In the interview he opened up about Lew Klein, both a former American Bandstand producer and a Temple University professor. "You're gonna make me cry, he was like a dad to me," Saget said of Klein. Saget, a Temple University alum, also revealed that it was Klein who got his foot in the comedy door by helping him land an internship on "The Mike Douglas Show." "Lew Klein cared so much about students, I've had a couple of those teachers," Saget continued. "When you get a teacher like that in your life, it's a real gift." Klein died in 2019 after six decades in the education industry.
In his final interview, Saget alluded to his upcoming trip to Orlando, as well as how his comedic style has changed over the years. "I don't talk politics, I don't talk religion, I just want to make people laugh and I don't want dissension in the room," he shared. "Everywhere you are, you're making people feel better, and that's my job."
