In a recent episode of her podcast Next Question with Katie Couric, renowned journalist Katie Couric candidly shared her experience of being ghosted by the late actor and comedian Bob Saget after their one and only date. As she reminisced about their brief romantic encounter, Katie revealed the details of the date, including a “pretty nice kiss” and her perception of Bob as a “good kisser.” However, the story takes a surprising turn as Katie reflects on the unexpected ending to their potential romance.
During the podcast episode, Katie, now 66, spoke with Kelly Rizzo, Bob’s widow, about her past connection with the beloved actor. She recounted the date, expressing her admiration for Bob’s charm, humor, and cuteness. Katie mentioned the shared kiss in her apartment foyer but humorously revealed that it did not lead to a second date.
Adding an amusing twist to the story, Bob’s former Full House costar, John Stamos, joined the conversation. John claimed that Bob was “intimidated” by Katie, a sentiment he often tried to navigate by offering dating advice through text messages. John jokingly admitted to playing the role of a modern-day Cyrano de Bergerac, coaching Bob on what to say and do during dates.
Katie responded with wit, suggesting that if she had gone out with John instead, they might still be dating. Despite the unexpected turn of events and the lack of a callback from the amazing Bob Saget, Katie maintained a lighthearted and positive perspective on the situation. She expressed that it all worked out in the end, highlighting Bob’s genuine happiness with Kelly. John playfully joined in, jokingly asking Katie not to tell his wife about their hypothetical romantic scenario.
Even though Katie didn’t specifically tell listeners exactly when this date occurred, Bob was married to his ex-wife Sherri Kramer from 1982 to 1977, and they had three daughters. He started dating Kelly Rizzo in 2015 and they married in 2018.
