John Stamosis disappointed aboutBob Saget’s exclusion from theTony Awards' 2022 in memoriam tribute.
The 75th annual Tony Awards were held Sunday night at New York City’s Radio City Musical Hall. Prior to the ceremony, Stamos tweeted about Saget not being included in the tribute to late stars, presumably finding out about the list from a dress rehearsal earlier in the day.
“Disappointed to hear that @bobsaget will be LEFT OUT of the In Memoriam segment tonight @TheTonyawards. Bob was brilliant in The Drowsy Chaperone & Hand to God. Come on @BroadwayLeague and @TheWing! Do the right thing! Bob loved Broadway and I know the community loved him,“wroteStamos, 58.
He added, “Let’s make some noise about this everyone - and send our love and good wishes to the hosts @ArianaDeBose, @JulianneHough and my buddy @DarrenCriss and all the well-deserved nominees.”

“Others may not have been as well known beyond the 26 square blocks known as Broadway, but their contributions behind the scenes were equally vital to the American theater,” he continued. “We remember some of them now, along with all of our colleagues whose brilliance will forever enlighten future artists and admirers.”
A spokesperson for the Tonys did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
